Early life
Payne was born in Hamilton, Madison County, New York, the son of Elisha and Esther (Douglass) Payne. He attended the common schools and graduated from Hamilton College in 1832[1] and moved to Cleveland, Ohio by 1834. He studied law under Sherlock J. Andrews[2] and commenced the practice of law, forming a partnership with future United States federal judge Hiram V. Willson.[2]
Political career
Payne was a Presidential elector in 1848 for Cass/Butler.[3] A member of the Ohio Senate from 1849 to 1851, Payne ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate in 1851 and for Governor of Ohio in 1857. He served a single term in the United States House of Representatives from 1875-1877, representing the 20th District, based in Cleveland. Payne served on the 1876 Electoral Commission on the disputed presidential election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden. Payne ran unsuccessfully for the presidency in 1880 and 1884, but won election in 1884 to the Senate. He served a single term and did not seek a second term.[citation needed] During his time in office, Payne remained active in Cleveland's business community: in 1888, he arranged for the construction of the Perry-Payne Building in the present-day Warehouse District.[4]
Payne died in Cleveland on September 9, 1896. He is interred in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland.[5]
Family life
In 1836 Payne married Mary Perry.[6] They had six children,[2] including Cleveland Mayor Nathan P. Payne[2] and American Tobacco Trust organizer Oliver Payne.[7] Their son-in-law was Secretary of the Navy William Collins Whitney.[8]
Payne was the maternal grandfather of Frances P. Bolton[9] and great-grandfather of Oliver Payne Bolton,[10] both of whom later served in the United States House of Representatives. He was also the great-grandfather of Michael Whitney Straight, a confessed spy for the KGB.
