    Notes 
    • [Payne - Prosper 1045179.FTW]
      Morgan became Captain of a Company of Militia from Vermilion Co., in the Black Hawk War in 1831-32. After the war, he took an active part in trying to get the "NorthernCross Railway" [Wabash Railroad] built from Danville to Springfield. The tracks [1977] run across theformer Payne land just south of the Vermilion Manor Rest Home [earlypoor-farm]. He became involved in a law suit in 1836 over a right-of-way dispute which developed into a fist fight with the landowner. Abraham Lincoln of Springfield, the circuit Judge for this District was the presiding Judge over the trial that was held in Danville. Lincoln never forgot the pluck and tenacity shown by Mr.Payne. As a result of right -of-way difficulties the railroad Co. went broke and the investors went bankrupt. M.L. Payne lost everything he owned and it was several year later before a railroad was ever built. Payne joined many others who thought they might become rich in Texas. He and his younger brother, John, Jr. both went there and were soon involved in the War with Mexico over the liberation of Texas lands. Capt. M.L. Payne commanded a company in Texas until the expiration of his term of enlistment. He returned to his Indiana home where he raised another company, remaining in the conflict until Texas was liberated, He still had not been successful financially so returned to farming. When the Civil War broke out he raised a company which did gallant service for the Union. Once when he was home on furlough, Payne did not get back to his company on timeso consequently he was mustered out of service. He set about tryingto get the "mustering out" order set aside by getting all the names of the officers on his petition which he sent to Washington, D.C. To his old Danville friend, Ward Hill Lamon, Lincoln's former law partner and personal body guard. When Lincoln saw the petition, he asked Lamon ofthis was the same Payne who had been in the law suit in Danville years before. On learning that they were the same, Lincoln stated,"This is the kind of man we need out there fighting" and M.L. Payne was restored to his former rank and commission. After the War, Payne became Constable, Deputy Sheriff at Pontiac
