    Elisha Payne (1757-1802) of Canterbury, Conn., a Yale graduate of 1779, appears on p. 264 of H. D. Paine, Paine Family Records, vol. 2 (1883), son of Solomon, Jr. and Mary (Bacon) Paine, grandson of Solomon and Priscilla (Fitch) Paine, great-grandson of Elisha and Rebecca (Doane) Paine, and great-great-grandson of Thomas Paine and Mary Snow, this last a daughter of Nicholas Snow and Constance Hopkins, and granddaughter of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower. Josiah Paine, the historian of Harwich and contributor of the "Eastham branch" genealogy in Paine Family Records, left his manuscript collection to NEHGS. Included therein (in carton 2 of SG PAI 11, #222), on p.184 of "Descendants of Thomas Paine of Eastham, Massachusetts," Anna Dyer (c. 1762-29 Feb. 1848, married 19 May 1780) is called a daughter of John, and was thus one of three first cousins with her name (the other two were born in 1766) in Canterbury. Anna (Dyer) Paine was an unrecorded daughter of John, Jr. and Anna (Payson) Dyer, granddaughter of John and Abigail (Fitch) Dyer, and great-granddaughter of James Fitch, Jr. and Mrs. Alice Bradford Adams. Fitch was a son of James Fitch and Abigail Whitfield, daughter (by Dorothy Sheafe) of Guilford, Conn. founder Rev. Henry Whitfield, whose descent from a sister of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer is fully documented in John Brooks Threlfall, The Ancestry of Reverend Henry Whitfield and His Wife Dorothy Sheafe (1989). Alice was a daughter of William and Alice (Richards) Bradford and a granddaughter of Mayflower passenger Gov. William Bradford of the Plymouth Colony and Mrs. Alice Carpenter Southworth. Some of the ancestry of Elizabeth A. Woodworth, wife of Joseph L. Moyses, requires further research. The 1898 Walter Woodworth genealogy identifies her (p. 95) as a daughter of Giles Woodworth (b. Bozrah, Conn. 28 Aug. 1798) and Philena Hyde, and granddaughter of Elisha Woodworth (of mostly traceable ancestry - see Jeanette Woodworth Behan, The Woodworth Family of America, vol. 1 [1988], p. 367) and Mary Harris (b. 1774), about whom I should like to ask Gale Ion Harris. Philena Hyde is unfortunately not covered in the 1864 William Hyde of Norwich genealogy.
