William Paine
William Payne, son of Anthony, was baptized at St. Mary's , Nowton, Bury St. Edmund's, Suffolk, Eng., 2 Dec. 1565. By the will of his father he was devisee of a part of his estate, but being a younger son, he was not heir. His oldest brother, John, having died previous to his father, his oldest son, Anthony, was heir to his grandfather. As such heir, he inherited from his grand father the Manor of Nowton. This made him "Lord of the Manor," and such, owner of the advowson of that church, having the right of presentation belonging to that office. Anthony having his estate in 1607, sold the manor and advowson to his uncle William Payne for 3000 pounds, he being then resident William then became "Lord of the Manor", and as such held his first court there on 6 October 1609, and his last court in 1621, having thus held the manorship 12 years, when he sold out to Sir Daniel de Ligne.The parents of William Payne were Anthony and Mary (Castell) Payne. She died 28 June 1603. He lived at Bury St. Edmunds, gentleman, and had the Manor of Nowton, settled upon him by his brother Henry. He died and was buried at Nowton, 3 March 1606 and is buried in the chancel of Nowton church, near his late wifeThe father of Anthony Payne was William Payne, son of Edmund and his heir. He removed from Leicestershire to Suffolk and took up his residence at Hengrave. Carrying with him the use of his grandfather's Coat of Arms, this came thence forth, in heraldic history to be known as the "Coat and Crest of Leicestershire, and Suffolk," and is especially known as belonging to "Payne of Hengrave." He was a man of much note and importance in his day, being in the service of Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, as bailiff of his Manor of Hengrave. In 1521, the Duke having been convicted of conspiring against Kink Henry VIII, to establish himself in power as his successor, was, by order of the King, put death. The office thus becoming vacant by the death of the Duke, Payne lost his place as deputy, and was obliged to retire to private life. The Duke's successor, however, appointed Payne's son to the office held by the father. William Payne married Margery daughter of Thomas Ash.Edmunt 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 ancester 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 Family
http://pollisplace.com/history/pageancestors.htm
The Paine Family--Phoebe Paine, born 1594 in England; died Sept. 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.’ "
