Diane, I am curious myself as to where the name "Baxter" came from because his grandmother, Rebecca Rutledge, is the main focus of my research. A family in Hawkins Couny, TN, that would be the closest match as being hers has the name Baxter associated with them and that's the closest I've come to explaining the use of the name. So I believe the name came from the Rutledge side of the family. Thanks, Jeff Eaton
