An Army major in the War of 1812.  It was he for whom the Hungerford Library, the forerunner of the Westmoreland County Museum & Library, Inc., was named.

Sophia Muse (d. 1814), a daughter of Maj. Walker Muse, and granddaughter Nicholas Muse, m. 1810, Col. John Washington Hungerford, a son of Brig. Gen. John Pratt Hungerford (1760-21 Dec. ?), of Twiford, at Leedstown, which is the property adjacent to "Red House," the family seat of the Paynes. The Hungerford family cemetery can still be seen at Resolutions Farm in Leedstown, just down Leedstown Road from Twiford Rd. [which Red House lies off of]. The Paynes and Hungerfords apparently have a long history together, which includes the Payne family of Rodborough, Gloucestershire.  Col. John Washington Hungerford was a brother of Maj. Henry Hungerford (b. 1788) of Montross, Westmoreland County. Maj. Henry m1. in 1818, Amelia Spence; m 2. in 1834, Mary A. Spence. He and his first wife [and probably his 2nd as well] are buried at the family cemetery in Leedstown, which is still maintained by Hungerford descendants. The Spence family, through marriages with the Hungerfords, Sturmans and Popes [as well as others], were related to the Paynes of Westmoreland.

Sophia Muse, however, was the stepmother of Winifred C. Hungerford (d. 1845), described in The Paynes of Virginia as from "the Eastern Shore of Maryland," who married in Dec. 1844, James Harvey Payne (1812-1854), of Point Pleasant & Payne's Point, Westmoreland County - property which he had inherited from his ancestors. James Harvey Payne m2 in 1848, Fairinda Fairfax Washington, a daughter of Perrin Washington and Fairinda Fairfax. His sister, Eliza Anne Payne (1813-1867) was the wife of Dr. Thomas Roger Ditty, of Westmoreland.

The Payne family cemetery might also be called the Payne-Wirt-Ditty family cemetery as it contains graves of all three families. James Harvey Payne and Eliza Anne Payne were the grandchildren of John Payne (1753-1824) of Green Hill, near Baynesville, & of Red House, Westmoreland County, by his wife, Elizabeth Quesenberry. According to The Paynes of Virginia, a Louise Pamelia Quesenberry, daughter of James Slaughter Quesenberry of Westmoreland, by Betty P. Robinson, who had married Woodson Gray, and they moved to Texas. Another man of this name Woodson Gray, is said to have married on 4 Dec. 1830, Elizabeth Fleming, and they lived in Cabarrus, North Carolina. They would both seem to have been members of the same family as Tarlton Woodson who had married Ursula Fleming, parents of Col. John Woodson of Dover, Virginia, who married Dorothea, daughter of Isham Randolph and Jane Rogers. Col. Woodson was an uncle of President Thomas Jefferson.

More importantly, these same families had not only been associated with the family of John Payne, but Tarlton Woodson had also been a nephew of George Payne of Lineage 1. In addition, members of Lineage 2 had associations with the Woodson family in North Carolina and Georgia. The Woodson's appear to have been a Quaker family, as suggested by William Wade Hinshaw's Quaker records for Virginia and there is evidence that members of Lineage 2 had been Quaker as well. Josias Payne (1705-1785), was a brother-in-law of Tarlton Woodson. Josias was a son of George Payne and Mary Woodson and the grandfather of Dolley (Payne) Madison. It was due to these Woodson, Fleming, and other connections, which brought the author of the entry on George Payne in "Virginia Genealogies" to the conclusion that he had been a descendant of the immigrant John Payne of Westmoreland County. As pointed out in that entry, it was unusual for Goochland County families to have these associations with families from the Northern Neck.

Eunice Williams Payne Fite; Lelia Adelle Bartlett Harper [an author and member of several Genealogical Organizations], listed in "Living Descendants of Blood Royal," Vol. 2, page 404, by Count d'Angerville, F.S.A.; and "American Ancestry," vol. vii.
