Ralph Payne, 1st Baron Lavington
Ralph Payne, 1st Baron Lavington KB PC (19 March 1739 – 3 August 1807) was a British politician and Governor of the Leeward Islands.
==Early life and education==
Payne was born in St George, Basseterre on the island of St Kitts in 1739 to Ralph Payne (died 1763)—the Chief Justice of St Kitts—and his wife, Alice.〔http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/21652〕 His family was wealthy and originally came from Lavington in Wiltshire, hence Payne's future peerage was as Baron Lavington. He was educated in England at Christ's Hospital school in West Sussex. Following the completion of his time at Christ's, Payne returned to St Kitts where he was "elected a member of the house of assembly and unanimously voted speaker."〔〔 NOTE: The biographical sketch for Sir Ralph Payne (later Lord Lavington) in "The History of Parliament," states that "On 1 Oct. 1795 Payne duly became Baron Lavington (after the Wiltshire home of his ancestors), though he had at first chosen the title of Bampton." This has posed a double-problem for family researchers as traditions within the family maintain that they descend from the PAYN's of Jersey, Channel Islands, from which island they had fled at the end of the Civil War. It is said that Sir Ralph's ancestors fled the island and settled for a time in Devonshire (although no evidence for this has been located). Circa 1653, the family is believed to have left England for the St. Kitts and the Leeward Islands. It is therefore a bit of a mystery as to how "Bampton" fits into the picture, particularly when there appears to be very strong record evidence in support of the family tradition in regard to Jersey. The present head of this family (in Scotland), who is in possession of many family heirlooms, paintings, etc., as well as several secondary sources (J.B. Payn's "An Armorial of Jersey; Burkes "General Armory"), trace Lord Lavington's ancestry to Edouard PAYN (1554-19 Aug. 1624) of St. Martin, Jersey, by his wife, Andrie (died 21 Jan. 1620/1). Other researchers claim that records extant on the island further trace this ancestry back to the 13th-century. Perhaps other researchers can provide information on Lavington's "Wiltshire" and/or "Bampton" connection.〕
