BALTIMORE, MD., U. S. A. FOREWORD Daniel Noble Johnson was born in New York City on August 31, 1822, the son of Henry Johnson and Rebecca Wharton. He was reared in the city and received a good education through the academy level. His family was in comfortable circumstances financially, and he had the advantages to be gained from a secure and cultured home. This background is constantly reflected in the social attitudes he expressed in his journal. Before his nineteenth birthday he joined the United States Navy as a clerk to the purser of the U.S.S. Delaware, 74 guns, one of the largest United States warships then in commission. He was entered on the records of this ship on April 19, 1841. Five days later he sailed from New York aboard a packet schooner, the /. W. Kemp- ton, for Norfolk where the Delaware was refitting for her coming cruise.

VOLU~lE l. ~ E\\' Y OH.K. 1880. PAINE GENEALOGY. PREFACE. The main purpose of this publication, as may be inferred from its title, is to promote the collection and ensure the preservation of the genealo~cal and per­ sonal records of the American family whose name it bears, and in whose interest it is undertaken. This object it proposes to accomplish by the publication in a series of numbers, of such authentic information relating to the origin of the Payne family (including aJ1 its branches and forms of orthography) as has been already obtained, or may be contributed towards the completion of the family chronicles. In the revival of genealogical and biographical research that constitutes so evi­ dent a feature of the literary activity of our time, the interests of this family in jts ancestry have not been entirely overlooked. Indeed much has been done to elucidate its origin and early history on this continent by a number of earnest and painstaking collectors and investigators, during the last few years. Many rare ~d curious records, illustrative of the lives and characters of its honored founders, and of many of their worthy descendants, have been brought to light, and by filial care rescued from funher danger of destruction or loss. Some progress has been made in arranging the facts relating to particular lines of descent in their proper order, according to a regular genealogical scbeine.
