The Payne Baronetcy, of St Christopher's in the West Indies, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 31 October 1737 for Charles Payne. According to some sources that title became extinct on the death of the second Baronet, Sir Gillis Payne, in 1801. Sir Gillis was in a relationship with a farmer's daughter, Maria Keeling. They apparently married in 1761 although several children had been born before this date. Peter Payne was the eldest son born after the marriage and would normally have succeeded in the title. However, he allowed his eldest brother John Payne to assume the title, although John was illegitimate. John died in 1803 when his son Charles assumed the title. However, in 1828 Peter Payne raised the question in the courts over who was the rightful baronet. The Court of Chancery declared that he was the rightful heir to his father, but this was overturned by the Lord Chancellor in 1829. Nonetheless, during his lifetime Sir Peter was universally acknowledged as a baronet. Most reference books on the British nobility and baronetage include the title, although they describe it as being in dispute between rival branches of the family. Charles Robert Salusbury Payne, the supposed sixth Baronet, appears to have discontinued the claim around 1900.
