Payne took part in the border-ruffian war in 1859-60 in Kansas and Missouri. In 1861, upon outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in the 7th Kansas Cavalry. After the war he served 4 more years with the command of Gen. George Custer and fought the fierce Comanche Indians through Kansas and Colorado. Shortley before leaving the military, Gen. Custer offered him a pay increase if he would accompany the 7th Cavalry against the Souix in Montana. David refused and returned to Wichita Kansas where he met Rachel Anna Haines, who became his common-inlaw wife (a common practice of that day) and they had one son George. In 1865 Capt. Payne was elected to Kansas State Legislature. In 1881 conceived the idea to start agitation for opening of Oklahoma Territory to settlement. While orgainzing the 4th invasion of the Oklahoma Territory, he died suddenly of a heart attack 11-28-84. Less than 5 years later the territory was opened. 110 years later, his family was finally able to move his body to Stillwater Oklahoma in Payne County (named for him) and a monument was dedicated.

His remains were buried in the Stones River National Cemetery, Lot N-5460. He had married Miss Sarah Mann and fathered 2 children; John L. and Jennie (for unknown reason, children spelled name as Rhoades, may be due to fact that gr.father Mann, who raised them, was illiterate). In a letter written by his son in 1917, he wrote, "I was a small boy but remember quite well when the stage brought the letter to mother saying my father had been killed at the Battle of Stone River, on Dec. 31, 1862. He belonged at his death to Co G, 57th IN Volunteers. After father's death, mother sold the shop (which was located 1/2 block east of intersection of Washington and Main streets on south side). We have in our home a ...picture of him in his uniform." Andrew's wife Sarah (Mann) Rhodes had 2 brothers; John and Andrew Mann (from Gaston IN )who were in the Civil War.
