Augustus H.F. Payne was born in Mason Co. KY April 4 1807. He married May 20 1825 Mary Morris, born December 25, 1805, daughter of Joseph and Nancy Morris. He was ordained an elder at Mayslick, and after preaching in Kentucky, came in 1836 to Clay Co, and then to Clinton Co, where he was killed. His Southern blood was the excuse for his murder.

M. Luella Payne b. March 26 1839, d. Nov 27 1892 Kansas City MO.

With pen, as well as tongue, she led in every Christian enterprise. When her father was murdered, she published an exposure of the crime.

Miss Lucilla Payne's account of the Murder of Her Father
In the winter of 1862 when Major-General Halleck's order No. 29 appeared, my father became convinced he could not stay at home without molestation; consequently he went to St. Joseph to effect an arrangement with military authorities by which he could remain at home in peace. General Loan, who was in command at St. Joseph, required him to file a bond in the penalty of $4,000 conditioned for his good behavior, but through the influence of W.P. Hall then Lt Governor of the State, it was reduced to $2000. He at first, by the terms of the bond was confined to six counties, but finding his sacred duties required a more extended field, he applied for and obtained a pass from Major J. Bassett, Provost-Marshall to go anywhere in the Federal lines, and with this he went to and fro unquestioned. During the summer of 1863 a band of bushwhackers under Hart, kept all of north-west Missouri in a state of fermentation. Whenever a Radical became alarmed at their daring raids or wished to wreak his personal malice upon an enemy and rid himself of a dangerous rival, all he had to do was to go before some petty officer, state his life or property was in danger, and thereupon the enemy or rival was selected as a victim and murdered. My father was such a victim. A league more dark and terrible than that of the Inquisition sped the bolts of death. ..(soldiers came to the house and arrested him)...Some neighbors found him about 3 miles from home, shot twice through the heart, the breast of his coat and hands being powder-burnt. He had upon his person his protection papers and the letter from Gen Hall to Major-General Schofield.
For more information google book search the book Martyrdom in Missouri: A History of Religious Proscription by William M. Leftwich. It is online to read and has a full account pg 143, 144 on Augustus Payne and his murder. It is very lengthy and I have only excerpted it.
** The above is an excerpt from the source, in which the entire Payne family is covered.
