Now I have family in Bedford, as a matter of fact that's where my mother's family is from, however we are not directly related to the Paynes. I did however have an uncle who was a Payne, he passed about five years ago"

Hello Kelli,

I am helping the daughter of dear friend with her mother's genealogy and your mention of Bedford Co., VA caught my attention.

Would you by chance be connected to, or know of, Bedford City families surnamed TAYLOR, KEEN and/or OTEY?

Also, a family and military connection I have to Bedford Co., VA are records of my 3rd great-grandfather, Peter Allen, who was born in Bedford County, VA.

Civil War enlistment, discharge, burial papers & CW monument plaque.
