The branches behind the monument.
Explore 28 commemorated men, donor John Barton Payne, and the relatives who connect them.
This is a selected family tree for the Orlean memorial, not a complete genealogy of every Payne descendant. It carries forward the cited pedigree from the research matrix and the current Bernard Payne research profile.
Strong working match means the proposed book identity fits the memorial name; it is not independent proof. Conditional means the soldier’s identity still needs corroboration. James W. Payne remains unconnected.
The descendant overview follows the recorded father, or the mother when no father is entered, to avoid duplicating people. Select Ancestors to see both parents. Shared ancestors may appear more than once there; their book IDs identify the same person. The detail panel lists every recorded parent, child, and explicit marriage.
The Ball genealogy has an additional qualification: on printed p.384 the author says he made no independent research into that family. Blank dates and absent parent links mean not entered in this selected tree.
Page references are printed book pages, not PDF image numbers. The original matrix is a separate snapshot; updating the family-record workbook does not automatically recalculate it or refresh the website.
