Facts and Events
Moses Paine married three times: (1) Mary Benison; (2) Elizabeth Sheafe, who was the mother of his children; (3) Judith (Pares) Quincy. Moses came to Cambridge with three children in 1638. Soon after he was at Braintree, where he owned a considerable amount of land, although it is not recorded as a grant to him. Sprague says that he homestead seems to have been near Payne Street in Quincy, north of Penn's Hill (sometimes called Payne's Hill); he also had land south of the hill near Elm Street in Braintree. He was made freeman 2 June 1641. The Braintree record says he was buried 2 June 1643, but the Boston returns say he died 21 June 1643, and Sprague says the latter is correct. The will of Moses Payne of Braintree, gent. was proved 30 October 1643. Son Moses executor: To Steven Paine, my second son, one quarter part of my goods & lands in Braintree, Cambridge, Concord & Piscataway in New England also a quarter of goods & debts in "ould" England if they may be recovered.
