Surnames: Baxter, Westerfield Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CkC.2ACIB/1458 Message Board Post: I am interested in the male of 83 years listed in the household of the 1850 census for German Baxter in Fayette County, Ky. It states that he was born in Virginia. His name is listed as Abernathy Baxter. I believe the German Baxter is the one we're all trying to connect to James Baxter, husband of Deborah Westerfield. I haven't been able to find any such Abernathy Baxter in Virginia, and am perplexed as to who he is.
