Moses was the son of Nicholas Payne and Agnes Croften
He came to New England in 1638 with three children. His first wife was Mary Benison, and his second was Elizabeth (Sheafe) Collier, widow of Timothy Collier.
He was first recorded here in Cambridge in 1638, came to Braintree soon after and was made freeman June 2, 1641. He was called a gentleman, owned considerable land in Braintree though it is not recorded as a grant to him. His homestead seems to have been near Payne Street in Quincy, north of Penn’s Hill, which has sometimes also been called Payne’s Hill, and he also had land south of the hill near Elm Street in Braintree.
He made a will proved 30 Oct 1643 bequeathing to wife Judith, to sons Moses and Stephen, and daughter Elizabeth, and mentions goods and land at Braintree, Cambridge, Concord, and Piscataqua and in Old England. Rev. Henry Flint, in his will dated 1652/3, bequeaths his dwelling house standing on those two lots I bought of Richard Wright and Moses Payne, deceased. These lots were on the present Chestnut Street, Quincy.

Moses Payne was baptized on 23 Apr 1581 at St. Mary's, Frittenden, Kent, England. He was the son of Nicholas Payne and Agnes Crofton. As a young man, Moses removed to Tenterden, a prosperous center of the weaving industry. His first marriage, to Mary Benison (daughter of John Benison), at St. Mildred's, Tenterden, Kent, on 2 Nov 1615 left no children. Mary's burial there was 6 Mar 1617/18 He married Elizabeth Sheafe, daughter of Richard Sheafe and Margery Roberts, ~ 1619. His second marriage, to Elizabeth Sheafe, probably took place in Tenterden and she died there in 1632. He came to Cambridge in 1638 in the ship "The Castle" with his children Elizabeth, Moses, and Stephen, and soon after went to Braintree. He was made freeman Jun. 2, 1641. He was called a gentleman, owned considerable land in Braintree though it is not recorded as a grant to him. His homestead seems to have been near Payne St. in Quincy, north of Penn's Hill, which has some times also been called Payne's Hill, and he also had land south of the hill near Elm St. in Braintree. His third marriage took place in New England between 1639 and 1643. He and Judith (Pares) Quincy, widow of Edmund Quincy, had no children. Judith survived him and married Robert Hull of Boston. He owned land in Cambridge, Concord, Piscataquea, and other places. As he lived only five years after his arrival in the colony, he must have brought considerable property with him to have acquired so much land in so short a time.4 He died on 21 Jun 1643 at Boston, MA, at age 62; buried in Braintree.
