Anthony Payne

Anthony PAYNE (1536 – 1606) was  Alex’s 13th Great Grandfather; the Shaw line.

The Arms of Payne of Hengrave, William’s grandfather: ”Argent on a fess engrailed Gules between three martlets Sable, as many mascles or, within a bordure engrailed of the second, charged with fourteen bezants. Crest : a Wolf’s head erased bezantee.”

At first I couldn’t  find a picture that matches this description and made this close approximation

Payne Coat of Arms Sussex, not exact, but pretty close. Instead of these three roses, it should have three golden diamond-shaped charges, with diamond shaped holes. It’s also missing a bordure engrailed of the second, charged with fourteen bezants.

(I finally found from a 1912 book “The Paynes of Hamilton” from Open Library.org )

Anthony Payne was born 1536 in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England.  His parents were William PAYNE Sr.  and  Margery ASH. He married Mary CASTELL in 1564 Newton, Suffolk, England. He lived at Bury St. Edmunds, gentleman, and had the Manor of Nowton, settled upon him by his brother Henry. Anthony died 3 Mar 1606 in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England and is buried in the chancel of Nowton church, near his late wife

Martha Castell was born 1539 in Hengrave, Suffolk, England, Her parents were Robert CASTELL (1503 – 1603) and Constance HAWARD. Mary died 28 Jun 1603 in Levenham, Suffolk, England

Children of Anthony and Martha:

Anthony Paine lived at Bury St. Edmunds, gentleman, and had the Manor of Nowton, settled upon him by his brother Henry.   He left a will dated Feb 16, 1606 , in which he directed his body to be buried in the chancel of Nowton church, near his late wife — gave his house to his son William, also his nest of ” bolls with cover all gilt ” having the arms of the Countess of Oxford upon it,” etc. His wife’s wedding ring he gave to Mary, daughter of Walter Paine,, all the remainder of his estate he gave to his son William, whom he appointed sole executor The Manor of Nowton which Anthony had received by devise from his brother Henry, was by him left to his grandson Anthony , son of John , who had died before his father. This, young Anthony conveyed to his uncle William, who thereby became as he is described in the Visitation ” Lord of the Manor-of Nowton.”

Children 

1. John Payne

John’s wife Francis Spring was baptized Jan 1558.  Her father was Robert Spring.  Francis was buried 28 Oct 1597 at Nowton, John  was son and heir apparent of his father Anthony, but having died before his father, the descent of property to which he was heir passed to his son Anthony (39), who thus inherited the estate which was devised by Henry (6), to his brother Anthony (12). This included Children of John and Francis

2. Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine, was bapt. at St. Mary’s Bury, 16 Jan  1568, but was not named in his father’s will, executed Feb 16, 1606, and hence the conclusion that he had died without issue.
