| Death of Father | 6 Oct 1912 | His father Samuel Lafayette Payne died on 6 Oct 1912 at Milton, Santa Rosa Co., Florida.9,10 |
| WWI Draft Reg* | 1917 | He registered for the WW-I draft in 1917 at Walton Co., Florida, ((Joe Payne, born 21 Jul 1896 in Bowling, AL.)11) |

Payne remarried in Santa Rosa Co., FL (Certificate # 26405). Was this J.E. Payne Sr. or J. E. Payne Jr.? Bowding Sumpter Helms, White, born 28 Mar 1890 in Eufaula, AL, died 1 Jun 1975 in Panama City, Bay Co., FL. The WW-I draft index (Grady Co., GA) shows this person to be a male who was married with one child, so since Bowding is such a rare name, the Bowding Helms who married Joseph Edward Payne may have been the child. Perhaps the child is the one in the SSDI which shows a Bowding H. Searcy, 12 Feb 1916 - 21 Dec 2002, who died in Lexington Co., SC and whose SSN was issued in TN before 1951.15 |

| 1930 Census | 1 Apr 1930 | Alma was listed as an unknown person 's wife on the 1930 Census at Marianna, Jackson Co., Florida.7 |
| Divorce | 1939 | She and Dr. Joseph Edward Payne were divorced in 1939 at Jackson Co., Florida.8 |
| Note | 1939 | In 1938, Damon H. and Bowding Jones divorced in Jackson Co., FL (certificate 5615). In 1939, Joseph Edward Payne and Bowding H. Jones married in Columbia Co., FL (Certificate 14675) and divorced that same year in Marion Co., FL (Certificate 9527). Then in 1940, Bowding Helms Payne and J. E. Payne remarried in Santa Rosa Co., FL (Certificate # 26405). Was this J.E. Payne Sr. or J. E. Payne Jr.? Bowding Sumpter Helms, White, born 28 Mar 1890 in Eufaula, AL, died 1 Jun 1975 in Panama City, Bay Co., FL. The WW-I draft index (Grady Co., GA) shows this person to be a male who was married with one child, so since Bowding is such a rare name, the Bowding Helms who married Joseph Edward Payne may have been the child. Perhaps the child is the one in the SSDI which shows a Bowding H. Searcy, 12 Feb 1916 - 21 Dec 2002, who died in Lexington Co., SC and whose SSN was issued in TN before 1951.9 |

Samuel Lafayette Payne1 
Male, #9978, (1836 - 6 Oct 1912)
| Father* | John Jackson Payne |
| Mother* | Mary Frances Gafford |
| Birth* | 1836 | Samuel was born at Greenville, Butler Co., Alabama, in 1836. |
| 1840 Census | 1 Jun 1840 | Samuel was probably a free white male, under 5 years old, in John Jackson Payne's household, on the 1840 Census at Butler Co., Alabama.2 |
| 1850 Census | 1 Jun 1850 | Mary, Eugenia, Samuel, Nancy, Dorothy, John, Ira, Thomas and Alabama was listed as a household member (Samuel Payne, 14, M, AL) living with John Jackson Payne on the 1850 Census at Butler Co., Alabama.3 |
| Photographed | between 1860 and 1861 | He was photographed between 1860 and 1861 The following question of Warren Culpepper was posted on a couple of Civil War websites: "I would appreciate your opinion about the attached picture that is supposed to be my great-grandfather Sam Payne. The very dark uniform strikes me as looking more like that of a Union officer, not a Confederate enlisted man. However, the age seems right as he was 26 when he enlisted. Your thoughts?" The following response is from Adam Pitts, on the Civil War Genealogy Forum, 28 Sep 2009: http://genforum.genealogy.com/civilwar/messages/26749.html I can answer part of your question. The Florida pension application makes it clear that the soldier belonged to the 1st Georgia Confederate Regt., 2nd Co. "H". Veterans who witnessed this application, Duncan T. Sellers and John P. Gafford, both belonged to this command. The company was recruited in Butler County, Ala., during the summer of 1862. There are several units named 1st Georgia Regiment, so the title is important to distinguish Payne's command from the others. The soldier may have had this image taken before hostilities began. Authorized on Feb. 25, 1860, the Alabama Volunteer Corps was formed to defend the state from attacks such as the one on Harpers Ferry. Members wore uniforms nearly identical in cut, color and markings to the U.S. military, right down to eagles on their brass buttons. Five companies from Butler County offered their services to the Governor of Alabama and were accepted. It's possible this man was a member of one of them. Here's a member of the Montgomery Mounted Rifles in his antebellum AVC uniform -- http://216.226.178.196/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/photo&CISOPTR=6703&REC=8 Several variants of this uniform existed. The following is from Bill Gillespie, on the Civil War Genealogy Forum, 06 Oct 2009: http://genforum.genealogy.com/civilwar/messages/26762.html .... As Alan states, the uniform is not that of a Confederate enlisted man, nor a Federal officer. He wears a dark coat similar to Federal uniform prior to the conflict, with slight diffences that point to him being in a state militia. His Hardee hat has a regulation ostrich plume and brass sideplate, yet the front insignia of sabers is not regulation. His belt plate is a militia style tongue & wreath, instead of the regulation rectangular model 1851 eagle plate. His shoulder straps are correct for a second lieutenant, as is the Foot Officer's model sword. Militia uniforms were often dark blue, yet some were black. Don't know if it is accurate, but I read someone estimated 60% of militias before the war wore gray. If so, quite a few Northern boys had to get their gray duds changed to blue to avoid our ancestors shootin' at 'em. A handsome pic, I'll see if I can learn more about the unit for you.4  possibly Samuel Lafayette Payne |

S. R. Otis, 16, M, W, Laborer, AL. - Simeon Otis' tombstone shows a date of birth of 21 Jan 1868 and his sister Linnie Otis Howe's tombstone shows a birth of 18 Feb 1868. As these dates are within a month of each other, there is an error in one or both. The Alma Elaine Payne Culpepper bible supports the 18 Feb 1868 date for Linnie, and while stating that Simeon was her brother, it does not provide his birthdate. The 1870 census shows Simeon as age 7 (born 1863) and Linnie as age 1 (born 1869). The 1880 census shows Linnie as 10 (born 1870), and Simeon as 13 (born 1867). The 1900 census shows Simeon born Jan 1868. Given the relative consistency of Linnie's reported birthyears, the birthdate shown on her tombstone has been assumed herein, whereas, Simeon's birth year is assumed to be 1866, the average of the birth years in the 1870, 1880, and 1900 censuses.

| Burial* | circa 19 Jul 1885 | His body was interred circa 19 Jul 1885 at Bagdad Cemetery, Bagdad, Santa Rosa Co., Florida.10 |
| Biography* | Joseph E. Hough was a baker and confectioner who lived in various parts of the country after he served in the War with Mexico. He enlisted at Mobile, AL, 25 May 1846 in Comp D, 1st AL Inf, and served until 27 May 1847 at New Orleans, LA. On 31 Oct 1846, the unit was at Camargo, on 31 Dec at Tampico, and 30 Apr 1847 at Jalapa. Capt Moore was Company Commander and Col Coffee was Regimental Commander. Joseph E. Hough frequently mentioned he was in the battle at Vera Cruz. He received bounty land for his service, and his widow applied for pension. She stated he stood 5 feet, 8 inches, had a light complexion, with blue eyes and dark hair. The Mexican War officially ended on 2 Feb 1848 with the signing of the Guadalupe Treaty, and only a few months earlier, gold had been first discovered in El Dorado Co. CA. By June 1848, the gold rush had started. During that winter mining ceased, for the most part, but in the Spring of 1849 the rush resumed and tens of thousands headed to California from all over the world. Presumably, Joseph went to California at this time, for the 1850 census shows him as age 31 and single, living on the South fork of the American River in El Dorado Co., CA: the heart of the gold rush area. He owned $600 of land. In San Francisco on 14 Dec 1853, he married Mary Elizabeth Bardóenes (11 July 1837 Sonora State, Mexico - 28 Feb 1903 prob. in FL, based on note from Knoxville, TN, Pension Agency.) She applied for pension 22 July 1889, still living at Bagdad in Santa Rosa Co, FL, where her husband had died. She made her mark to all papers. Capt. John B. Youngblood testified in her behalf that he and Joseph E. Hough had both been born in Edgefield Co, SC, and that they had both served together in the War with Mexico. Capt Youngblood had been Company Commander of Comp. H in the same regiment. Joseph E. Hough had apparently been a cook during the War, as Capt. Youngblood testified Joseph sometimes cooked for him. During the subsequent processing of the claim for pension, there was evidence that Mary E. had been previously md to one James Randall in Mexico, but that she had left him when she learned he already had a family in San Francisco. An investigator in San Francisco was unable to find any record of such a James Randall, and Mary E. Hough got her pension #12,374 for a few years. (Source: 1889 Santa Rosa Co, FL, Mary E. Hough pension application). Joseph Edward Hough's ancestry has not been proven. That John B. Hough was his father is merely speculation based on times and places. Further research is needed.11 | |
| Research note* | Please contact me if you can provide any proof of the ancestry of Joseph or if you have alternative theories.12 |
Family | Mary Elizabeth Bardóenes | |
| Marriage* | 14 Dec 1853 | He married Mary Elizabeth Bardóenes at San Francisco, San Francisco Co., California, on 14 Dec 1853 at age 31. |

William Isaac Payne
Male, #9986, (1755 - 1818)
| Father* | Samuel Payne |
| Birth* | 1755 | William was born in 1755. (Within this family tree, William Isaac Payne is shown as being born in 1755, the son of Samuel Payne. However, according to Paul Grant, "William was born near Richmond, VA 1740, the second son of John Reuben Richmond Payne (born 1700) and Nancy Mason Wilson Payne. John Reuben Richmond Payne left Birmingham, England and came to America in about 1717 and married 15 year old Nancy in 1737. They had 7 sons and 6 daughters, but Nancy died young. John Reuben then remarried to Fredicia Lewellyen in 1760, and they had 7 daughters and 2 sons." William reportedly grew up near Richmond, VA, and supposedly received a land grant in Georgia for Revolutionary War service. Thus he moved to Georgia. (Ball's History of Clarke Co., AL, pp. 330-331) This William Payne should not be confused with the Revolutionary War soldier, born 1763 in Kershaw District, SC, who married Sarah Swilley, and died in Marengo Co., AL. |
| Marriage* | circa 1785 | He married Mary Abigail Swint at Columbia Co., Georgia, circa 1785.1 |
| Birth of Son | circa 1793 | His son Samuel Payne was born circa 1793 at Columbia Co., Georgia. |
| Birth of Son | circa 1795 | His son Daniel Payne was born circa 1795 at Columbia Co., Georgia. |
| Birth of Son | 4 Aug 1798 | His son John Jackson Payne was born on 4 Aug 1798 at Columbia Co., Georgia.2 |
| Birth of Son | 11 Sep 1800 | His son William Isaac Payne Jr. was born on 11 Sep 1800 at Columbia Co., Georgia.3 |
| Tax roll* | 1808 | William I. Payne paid taxes in Columbia Co., GA on two hundred thirty acres of land on Sweetwater and for his seven slaves. His son-in-law, Andrew Smith, lived nearby and paid taxes for one slave and a riding chair in 1808. |
| Relocation* | between 1808 and 1815 | He relocated between 1808 and 1815 at Twiggs Co., Georgia, |
| Death* | 1818 | He died at Twiggs Co., Georgia, in 1818 The date and place of death are assumed from the fact that in the 1818 tax digest for Capt. Hodge's district in Twiggs Co., GA, Dan'l Payne is shown as the Adm. for Wm. Payne. Also, the 1820 Lottery, shows from the Hodges district in Twiggs Co, Daniel Payne and Mary Payne (wid).4 |

Mary Abigail Swint
Female, #9987, (1768 - 29 Aug 1852)
| Father* | Johannes Schwindt |
| Mother* | Elizabeth Anna Hauert1 |
| Research note* | Mary Abigail was a sister of John Swint, a Revolutionary War soldier who died about 1801 in Hancock Co., GA. They were living together in the Keg Creek area of Richmond Co., GA (later Columbia Co., GA) when she married in 1785. If you can identify the parents, of Mary and John, please contact Warren Culpepper.2,3 | |

| Death of Father | 23 May 1785 | Her father Johannes Schwindt died on 23 May 1785 at Charleston, Charleston District, South Carolina.6 |
| Marriage* | circa 1785 | She married William Isaac Payne at Columbia Co., Georgia, circa 1785.5 |
| Married Name | circa 1785 | As of circa 1785, her married name was Payne. |
| Birth of Son | circa 1793 | Her son Samuel Payne was born circa 1793 at Columbia Co., Georgia. |
| Birth of Son | circa 1795 | Her son Daniel Payne was born circa 1795 at Columbia Co., Georgia. |

| Death of Spouse | 1818 | Her husband William Isaac Payne died in 1818 at Twiggs Co., Georgia.9 |
| Relocation | 14 Jan 1819 | "On the evening of the 14 Jan 1819, the peace of the happy forest of oaks was disburbed by a train of emigrants" and the Paynes were listed among the first settlers to arrive (in what was soon to become Butler Co., AL). In Ball's History of Clarke County, AL (pp. 330-331), there is the assertion that "William Isaac Payne and Mary Abigail Shouse [sic] (from Twiggs Co., GA) joined the Coleman Caravan in Dalton, GA in 1817 and moved west to Lowndes Co., AL." Actually, William Sr. died in Twiggs Co. in 1818, and the William cited must have been his son William Jr. who moved with his brothers and their Mother. Also, the 1817 date seems premature based on the date of death of William Sr in Twiggs Co.10 |
| Death* | 29 Aug 1852 | She died at Sandy Ridge, Lowndes Co., Alabama, on 29 Aug 1852.4,5 |
| Burial* | circa 30 Aug 1852 | Her body was interred circa 30 Aug 1852 at Payne Cemetery, Sandy Ridge, Lowndes Co., Alabama. She is believed to have been the first person buried here..4 |

Sylvester R. Otis 
Male, #9990, (27 Jan 1810 - 14 Jun 1893)
| Father* | Jacob Otis Jr.1 |
| Birth* | 27 Jan 1810 | Sylvester was born at Rhode Island on 27 Jan 1810. Susan N. Cline wrote "There was no record of his birth in Rhode Island, or any surrounding states. I am confident that he was born in Rhode Island, however, because the 1860 and 1870 Federal Census state his place of birth to be Rhode Island. Interestingly, the 1880 Federal Census states his place of birth to be Connecticut. I am sure this an error made by the informant who was probably his wife, Martha Ann Hillard, at the time. "On the 1885 Florida State Census , Sylvester R. Otis reports that his father was born in Rhode Island. This is the first correctly reported place of birth for his parents. "Going on the assumption that the birthplace of his father was Rhode Island, we examine the 1820 Federal Census of Otis families in Rhode Island, we find only one candidate for Sylvester's father - and that would be Jacob Otis, Jr. who lists himself, wife, and male child between the age of 10-15. This would be correct for Sylvester, who was 10 at the time of the census. "There is no reference to Sylvester's mother in any records I examined. Sylvester was born in 1810 and I find it odd that his birth record is not recorded in the Rhode Island Births and Christening records."1,2,3,4 |
| 1820 Census | 7 Aug 1820 | Sylvester was probably a free white male, age 10 and under 16, in an unknown person 's household, on the 1820 Census at Providence, Providence Co., Rhode Island.5 |
| Relocation* | between 1826 and 1836 | He relocated sometime between 1826 and 1836 to Alabama or Florida. It is not known why this young man from Rhode Island would relocate to the south, but there was probably no family connection holding him in Rhode Island. Sylvester's father, Jacob, was only 15 when Sylvester was born. In 1820, Jacob declared bankruptcy, and in 1828, when Sylvester would have been 18, Jacob was deemed a "drunkard" and placed in an asylum. Jacob is also shown living in an asylum for paupers in 1850. Nothing is known about Sylvester's mother. Jacob's father, Dr. Jacob Otis, relocated from Rhode Island to Orange Co., NY in 1835 at age 77 to live with a married daughter who had relocated there. The combination of the move of Sylvester's aunt and grandfather, coupled with the shame over a drunkard father, may well have been the motivation for Sylvester to seek his fortune elsewhere.6 |
| Marriage* | say 1836 | He married Malinda (?) say 1836. Their date of marriage is estimated based on the fact that their first known child was born in 1837. |
| Indian Wars* | 1836 | He served as an officer in one of the Creek and Seminole Indian Wars in 1836 (Sylvester R. Otis was a Third Lieutenant in Captain Irvin's Company, 8th Regiment, Florida Militia, Florida War (against the Seminole Indians). Congress had promised to give sailors and soldiers land in leu of or in addition to pay. Sylvester R. Otis subsequently applied for and got in 1859 his 80 acres along the Old Spanish Trail, about 5 miles north of Allentown.)2 |

| Birth of Son | circa 1843 | His son Sylvester R. Otis Jr. was born circa 1843 at Alabama.3 |
| Relocation | between 1843 and 1848 | He relocated sometime between 1843 and 1848 at Bagdad, Santa Rosa Co., Florida. Bagdad had a large lumber mill for virgin pine heart wood, and ship-building was also an important activity. It is not hard to imagine how someone from Rhode Island, with its ship-building history, might have ended up in Bagdad. But why he first was in southeastern Alabama, far from the coast, is not clear. However, the Conecuh River is navigable from Pike County in Alabama down to Florida where its name changes to the Escambia River and then flows into Escambia Bay which connects with Blackwater Bay and Bagdad. Perhaps while he lived in Pike County, Sylvester was involved in harvesting lumber that was then floated down the waterway to the lumber mill and shipyard in Bagdad.6 |

| Research note | Bagdad Village Timeline Joseph Forsyth named the town, in 1842, Bagdad, after the Middle East renaissance city called Baghdad. The lumber mills of Bagdad, Florida, cut virgin Blackwater Swamp cypress and long leaf heart pine timber, which was shipped to ports in Europe, South America, Cuba and the East coast of the United States. The precious virgin timber logs just kept floating down the river as lumber jacks cut the trees and sent them South down the creeks and rivers of the Blackwater River watershed. This prized commodity made Bagdad the Prince of Wood. During the Civil War, Bagdad lost most of the mill buildings and dry docks but after the war, they were rebuilt and she quickly regained the fame and glory of delivering priceless lumber worldwide. At the end of the 19th Century, Bagdad was comparable to Pensacola in commerce and its main company, the E. E. Simpson and Company lumber mill, was the largest exporter and the largest company in the State of Florida. Santa Rosa County became the center of commerce for the state, but as the amount of lumber slowly decreased so did business. In 1929, the Press Gazette published an article stating, “There is at least 100 years of lumber left.” Ten years later it was all gone. In 1939 the last lumber mill in Bagdad closed. In 1941 World War II began and shortly thereafter most families had either moved north into Alabama or south into Pensacola looking for work. During its prime, the town had around 60 different businesses, many churches and a good school, but 1939 marked the end of Bagdad’s renaissance. Almost all the businesses were related directly or indirectly to lumber, so when the logs stopped coming down the river, narcosis began. A deep sleep fell on the little town. Pensacola & Milton took up the mantle of growth. Both had diversified into many industries other than lumber, such as agriculture, shipping, and military exploits. Bagdad, the once center of opportunity, began a slow arduous decline going from disregard to decay to almost oblivion followed by being simply forgotten by most people. Then came growth not only to South Santa Rosa County via Navarre and Gulf Breeze, but also growth in Pace and Milton. The increase is most apparent in residential construction with the advent of many housing developments creating an atmosphere associated with “bedroom towns.” Many people looked to Santa Rosa County as a place to live and raise their children but preferred to work in Escambia or Okaloosa Counties, hence, the term “bedroom towns.” Much should be said for a few visionary people who have realized Bagdad’s historical value. It processes a very important era of not just Florida or Santa Rosa County history but also American history. After all, much of the lumber produced by the Bagdad lumber mills were shipped to ports in Europe, South America, Cuba and the East coast of the USA creating, next to cotton, the country’s most precious exported commodity. A very valuable slice of our past lies in the soil of Bagdad. The Spirit of the past both, post-bellum and antebellum, is again rising. Through the efforts of dedicated people like the Bagdad Village Preservation Association and other faithful residents, the world again is noticing the beautiful lady. For example, in 2003, 16 reporters came to Bagdad to do articles and 4 were from European nations. Events in 2003 like the Blackwater Heritage Tour, the Beaches to Woodlands Tour, and the much publicized Civil War writings on the wall of the Thompson House are just a few of the many venues directing people back to the past, back to the Prince of Wood, back to Bagdad. One need only walk the main street, called Forsyth after the founder of Bagdad, John Forsyth, and the shore of the Blackwater River to sense the past. From a Greek Revival plantation home built in 1842, to reproductions just finished, from 1880 restored homes, the smell of the smoke stack, the sound of the steam engine, the blowing of the ships fog horn, the rubble of the horse drawn wagons, and the whistle of the train attacks the senses like sweet dreams. Now on the National Historical Directory, the once sleepy village is primed for an even greater future than her majestic past.17 | |
