    Flayl Payne is the first proven Payne and the progenitor of the Payne descendants of our line. He first appears in Prince George's County, Maryland court records in August of 1727. Flayl was among the first settlers of the new Colony to move inland from the coastal region as he received the 34th land survey in western Maryland.
    Flayl Payne proved attendance in Maryland court in August of 1727. The case involved a John Whetenhall, a "chyrurgeon" who was asking that he be paid 3.36 pounds by James Bramwell for treatment of the wife of Andrew Bourne, servant to Bramwell. Testimony of the withnesses was not recorded but Bramwell was ordered to pay the doctor.
    Flayl may have been the son of Robert and Ann Paine. The first appearance of Flayl in records occured the same year that Robert Paine died. This relationship, however, is not proven.
