England,Lavenham,Water Street, richly timbered house,with brickEdmunt Payne, youngest son of Sir Thomas Payne, Knight, was alive in 1540. He married Elizabeth the daughter of Robert Walton, Of Leicestershire and had several sons. His place of residence was undoubtedly that of his birth, at Market Bosworth, Leicesteshire.Sir Thomas Payne, Knight, father of Edmund Payne, is the earliest of our Paine ancestor to be known for certain. He married Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Pultney, Knight. The dates of Sir Thomas' birth, or death, are neither of them given, but the dates at which his descendants came upon the stage of active life, show that he must have been born in the early part of the fifteenth century. He had three sons: Robert, William, Edmund. The record shows the younger of the three alive in 1540, at which time he had a grandson, then a rich and active man. This fact would seem to establish the birth of Sir Thomas, the great-grandfather of a wealthy business man, according to the usual average of life and birth, at, or nearly as early as, the year 1400.

About the Paine Familyhttp://pollisplace.com/history/pageancestors.htm
The Paine Family--Phoebe Paine, born 1594 in England; died September 25, 1677; 83 years old. Married (1621, in England) John Page. Puritans, together they left England and settled in Massachusetts. Phoebe’s father was William Paine, of Hengrave, Laverham, Suffolk, Subsidy. From 1690 to 1621 he was "Lord of the Manor" of Nowton.
According to Wisconsin Page Pioneers:
"It has been conclusively proven that the Paine family of which Phoebe was a member used the same coat of arms after coming to America as the family of William Paine "Lord of the Manor" of Nowton which he bought from his nephew Anthony Paine in 1607 for £3000. By this evidence they are shown to be not only the descendants of Sir Thomas Paine of Leicester but that they were of the Suffolk County branch and of that particular descendant who came here. It was here at Nowton that William Paine held his first court October 6, 1609 and his last in 1621 when he sold to Sir Daniel le Ligne.
"Of the 150 persons who emigrated at the time William Paine, brother of Phoebe, and son and daughter of the William of Nowton, scarce half a dozen claimed the title of Gentleman, or had the prefix ‘Mr.’ a title which he was readily accorded as the son and heir of one who had been ‘Lord of the Manor.’ "

Hello. Is your identification of William Payne as the son of Anthony and Mary (Castell) Payne based primarily on Anthony's will and William's baptism? I've previously used a 1939 secondary work called the "Snow-Estes Ancestry" which William as the son of another William (1532-1587), and grandson of William (b. 1502) and Joanna (b. 1506). However, it seems to me that a secondary source would have to bow to contemporary documents.
