Notes for Payne-Lomax Wife

We are researching the parents of Ann, who married John Dalton. Ann Dalton was named in the will of John Lomax, as was Josiah Payne, who was a half sibling of John Lomax. An 1804 deed also named Jacob Payne as a half brother of John Lomax. We assume that Ann Dalton, John Lomax, and Josiah and Jacob Payne all had the same mother, who married both the father of John Lomax and Josiah and Jacob Payne. We show Ann as a daughter of Payne, but she might have been a daughter of Lomax. We seek documentation to clarify the relationships among Josiah and Jacob Payne and Ann Dalton and John Lomax. We suspect there is a relationship to the family of John Lomax and Elizabeth Wormeley [1], who are currently shown in this database as unrelated.

1787 John Lomax, a noted tavern keeper in Alexandria, died. [2]

1787 Rachel Lomax was named as Administratrix for the estate of John Lomax. [3]

1787 The will of John Lomax was sworn to before Justices Richard Conway and Wm. Herbert at Alexandria by the witnesses, Wm. Hunter, Jr., Sally Edwards and Joseph Veroni, January 10, 1787. He leaves all property to his wife Rachel her life-time. At her death it was to be equally divided between the children of Josiah Payne and the children of John and Anne Dalton. The wife Rachel died in 1792, and these Paynes and Daltons inherited her property. The relationship between the parties is not given. [4]

1791 Joseph Thomas and the administratrix of the John Lomax estate petitioned the G[eneral]A[ssembly] to sell two of his unimproved lots in Alexandria. [5]

1796 The several persons to whom he [John Lomax] by his nunc[uperative] will devised his lands and tenemants in Alexandria give notice that they intend to present a pet. to the next GA to pass an act to confirm them the estates given them by that will. [6]

1796 In the Journal of the House of Delegates of Virginia for 1796, page 7, will be found the following petition, which relates to the 1787 will of John Lomax:

A petition of Henrietta Payne, Kesiah Payne and John Payne, children of Josiah Payne, deceased; William Dalton, John Dalton, Josiah Emmett and Catherine, his wife [late Catharine Dalton]; Saunders Alexander Reed and Ann, his wife [late Ann Dalton]; Rachel Dalton and Daniel Dalton, children of John and Ann Dalton, devisees of John Lomax, of the town of Alexandria, deceased, praying that an act may pass to confirm a nuncuperative will of the decedent. [7]

1796 Hannah and Jacob Payne sold land from the estate of John Lomax to Richard Weightman. [8]
