- John Howard Payne, author of "Home, Sweet Home" (14 KB)
John Howard Payne, b. June 9, 1791, was the son of William Payne of an old Massachusetts family, and Sarah Isaacs of East Hampton. John Howard was the sixth of nine children. John's father was a successful teacher of elocution. He came to East Hampton to teach at Clinton Academy, the third oldest school in New York State. He trained John Howard well in diction and delivery and then was alarmed when the boy expressed a desire to go on the stage. And so, on May 8, 1823, ``Clari; or the Maid of Milan'' premiered at London's Covent Garden theater. It was a hit, and publisher John Miller issued sheet music for "Home, Sweet Home" separately. It sold as many as 100,000 copies in the first year; Payne was paid about 100 British pounds for "Clari," and got nothing for the song. http://parlorsongs.com/content/h/hmswthm.htm
