Here is his msg to me. Chas ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard A. Baxter To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 11:55 AM Subject: Baxters in Madison County Charles: Have a question and want to tap your knowledge of Madison County. My great great great great grandfather was Daniel Reed Baxter who resided in Madison County from about 1802 to his passing in 1842 (he and his wife Bethiah are buried in Nelson Rural Cemetery). They had 11 children, 6 who relocated to Illinois in the 1835 to 1838 time frame. I have documented these six (one of them June, my ggg grandfather), however I have never been able to find anything on the other five that either did not survive to adulthood or remained in Madison County. I am attaching my knowledge/comments on Daniel and think you will find them interesting (first person tried in the courts in Madison County!). The other five children that I have never found are: Eliza, Fanny, John, Mary, and Thaddeus. My question is: Have you ran into, or have any knowledge of, these early Baxter's from Madison County? I realize that this is a long shot, but just want to give it a try, as you are very knowledgeable of Madison County.! Daniel was born in Westchester County and we are descended to Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins though his wife Bethiah Crosby. Thanks for taking the time to read this and any help or suggestions are most appreciated.
