Talk:John Howard Payne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Spelling of his name
I have seen his last name spelled as "Payne" (as it is here) and as "Paine". I know that the spellings were somewhat interchangable in the 1700s, but by 1800 people with this name tended to pick one or the other. Which is correct? And do we have a source for this determination? Blueboar 21:52, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
