Obediah is mentioned in the will of Joseph Payne as a son (will probated 24 September 1803 in Bedford Co VA).
Obediah was born in 1756 in Bedford Co VA and died in Fighting Creek, Knox Co, KY in 1818. He is buried at the Martin Cemetary, Bimble Hinkle Road, in Knox County. There is now a headstone for Obediah and his wife marking what is
apparently a joint grave (his wife died in 1820).
In the year 1773 Obediah and his brother-in-law Richard Oney were among the first settlers in the Deskins Valley area of Tazwell Co VA. In Russel County VA on 02 November 1781 there is an entry in the Land Entry Book One, Page 53, for
150 acres on the Clinch River in Tazwell Co VA for 150 acres for Obediah Payne. Part of Treasury Warrent #7844 is mentioned in Benjamin Oney's will.
Apparently as the result of a complaint made against him for stealing a horse and other property, Obediah left Tazwell CO by 1800 and went to Knox CO KY. In 1800 he received a bounty for a wolf scalp he sold in Knox CO.
