Families covered: Payne of St. Christopher's, Payn of St. Martin, Payne of Tempsford

In its preamble on this family, BE1883 reported that: "In Jersey ... amongst the primeval Norman settlers are found seigneurs and other high officials, whose names are written indifferently, Payen, Paien, and Payn."

Abraham Payn, Constable of St. Martin (Jersey)

m. Susan Sarre (dau of Michael Sarre)

Abraham Payn, Constable of St. Martin (b 1616, to Devon)

Possibly because some words were typed in the wrong place (!), BE1883 is not clear exactly what was Abraham's relationship with the undermentioned Ralph. Ralph is known to have been at the battle of Worcester which was in 1651. It is a presumption that Abraham was his father. BP1934 starts with Ralph as does TCB.

TCB names the father of the following as 'Abraham or Ralph' and identifies him as 'of St. Christopher's' in the West Indies.
