AKA W.J. Payne, but there seems to have been another W.J. Payne in Bosque County around that time but a different age.

According to a Confederate Pension Application (#33248) submitted by Nancy, W.J. was enlisted as a private in the confederate army 5/10/1862 & on roll until Feb. 1865 with Company H, Col. Overton Young's Regiment (8th), Texas Infantry, C.S.A., Col Terry Caruthers, Walker Division.

William John Payne was married to Nancy Jane Hamilton on June 16, 1860 in Hill County, Texas. They had ten children together, but only six are known: sons - Alvarado, Peyton Lee, and Jules Trater; daughters - Melissa Alice, Henrietta, and Sarah.

William John Payne was a rancher and also a Ferryman on the Brazos River in Kimball, Texas.

Family history has it that W.J. came to Texas with the US Army. He was stationed at Fort Graham in Hill County and when the fort closed in 1853, he decided to stay. When the Civil War began he served in the Confederate Army for four years with Captain Terry Carruthers Co., Young's Reg., Walker's Division. Co. H, 8th Reg., TX Infantry

His sisters and parents moved from Georgia to Texas to be near William.
