If payseur does translates to paymaster then that could be the name of an office not a surname. And depending on the accent, dialect (talking pidgin or babbling Phoenician) then payseur ((could sound like)) purser.

The facility had to clean up Biden’s mess and tell workers his claim is not true.

Biden made them worry for no reason!

Joe Biden caused a panic among some Pennsylvania plant workers after he falsely claimed their facility was “thinking of shutting down.”

It’s possible that the Payseur family begins with the French monarchy. I’ve been unable to confirm anything (the same as others who’ve dug much more deeply than I have), but the story is that Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette had a son named Louis-Charles, born in 1785. When Louis XVI was executed in 1793, Louis-Charles was elevated to the throne as Louis XVII in name only. The monarchy had fallen by then and both Louis were in prison.

Young Louis was smuggled out of prison, but the official record shows he didn’t live long, dying in 1795 of TB. He was buried in an unmarked grave, with his heart removed, according to the tradition of the French monarchy. That would seem to be where poor Louis-Charles’ story ends, except in an alternate version of his life, he was smuggled to North Carolina and began a new life under the name “Daniel Payseur.”

None of this seems to be verifiable and the living descendants of the children of Lewis Cass Payseur have gone underground, possibly literally.
