Payne Family 42nd Family Reunion My grandparents William and Christine Payne started the Payne Family Reunion in 1977 so that their 16 adults children along with their families could come home to bond, fellowship, and love each other. My grandparents left us a legacy to ways be a close and loving family. We have continued this legacy every year in June in the family’s hometown of Columbia Kentucky. Guoya has been wonderful to work with to help us to commemorate another glorious year. ” – Christy Payne (Feb 13, 2022)
