Carol:   You are correct. The only thing I can add is that in the Claxton Book reads that Julia is the daughter of Shadrack Dukes and Nancy Frances Gordon Dukes.   Added info: John Henry Claxton was raised on a farm in Johnson Co. His wife Julia Elizabeth Dukes, was from Washington Co. John and Julia had 12 children, the first 7 being born in Johnson Co.   When Ellie Lee, their oldest son, was 11 years old the family moved to Treutlen County near Oak Park. After staying there a short while John acquired 300 acres near Zaidee near Soperton. It was here that John and Julia lived the remainder of their lives.   John and Julia were early members of Harmony Baptist Church near Soperton.   Mary Ann

Thanks for the history info on the Claxton family. It gives me better picture on the connections of my family from Johnson, Washington and Treutlen counties.   Mary Ann Braddy Banys --- On Sun, 4/11/10, Mary Ann Smith <diggingupkin@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Mary Ann Smith <diggingupkin@yahoo.com> Subject: [GAEMANUE] Claxton To: gaemanue@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, April 11, 2010, 6:09 PM Carol:   You are correct.
