Hi Linda, You are correct: Margery Paxson (dau. of Henry and Ann [Plumly] Paxson and sister of Mary Paxson who married Henry Roberts) married Matthew Beans. I suppose what caught your attention was the fact that I said that Jane Roberts (dau. of Henry and Mary [Paxson] Roberts married Matthew Beans). This is also true, but it is a different Matthew Beans, in fact the son of Timothy and Rebecca (Paxson) Beans. The latter Rebecca Paxson was another sister of Margery Paxson Beans and Mary Paxson Roberts. The source of my information claiming that Jane Roberts married Matthew Beans comes from the Orphans Court records of Bucks Co., concerning the settlement of the estate of Mary Paxson Roberts, Jane's mother. On 10 June 1782 we find the account of Anthony Hartley, executor of Mary Roberts' estate. The line items that establish Jane's marriage are copied below: paid Jane Beanes sundry cloath given by will £ 3-4-2½ paid Mathew Beanes, legacy left his wife by her father -10-0 paid do. his wife's dividend of residue of her mother's estate 3-0-0 When I saw the name Matthew Beans, I also was confused, but I found that there was another Matthew Beans of Jane's generation, namely the son of Timothy and Rebecca. So I hypothesized that this might have been Jane's husband, and since those Beanses moved to Virginia, it would explain why I found no more trace of Jane in Bucks Co. Just tonight I think I have the proof that this identification is correct. I made a quick check on WorldConnect databases, and I found one by Dave Wells which includes Matthew Beans, son of Timothy and Rebecca (Paxson). He is reported to have married Jane --- and moved to Loudoun Co. VA. I quote also the notes that Dave Wells includes: "Matthew was disowned by Falls Monthly Meeting (Quaker) on 3 April 1769 because of his marriage to his Cousin. He was disowned from Falls Monthly Meeting again on 3 June 1782 at which time or soon thereafter he went to Virginia for there is an indenture of his with an Isaiah Meyers for property dated 1 March 1796 in VA Deed Book "W"." I hadn't thought to check the minutes of the Falls meeting for relevant information, since the Beans, Paxsons, and Roberts all lived in Solebury within the range of the Buckingham Meeting. But if you have followed my explanation, you will see that in fact Matthew Beans Jr. was the first cousin of Jane Roberts (their mothers Rebecca and Mary were Paxson sisters). So I think we have now established with certainty the spouse of Matthew Beans Jr. and also of Jane Roberts!

sorry thought you were talking about Plumby got names mixed up sorry. Billie

Jim I think Mary and Henry had another daugher named elizabeth I come from her.

I have seen the same name spelled different ways in a document which was completely written by one person. Spelling was NOT important, so long as the party or parties involved understood what was meant. The same holds true with punctuation-it did not matter.

Vicki, Good heavens it is a small world I was born and raised in Ohio my sons were born in MI and my oldest lives in Omaha, NE. It has been a long time since I have done anything with the Pownell/Pownall's but with what I have that Abigail and my line connection was her brother George Jr. the first Pownall born in America. The name Amanda seems like a light bulb should go off in my head.............who were his grandparents? My great grandparents were Robert D. and Susan Catherine Click Pownell. Robert s/o John Isaac and Elizabeth Sarah Martin Pownell was born in Romney, Hampshire Co. VA and my grandma Sarah Elizabeth b. 1876 was also born there. Elizabeth Sarah was John's second marriage I have a family picture taken I believe in OK that I believe are Pownell's but there is no names on the back of the picture. I have a lot of info from various sources and one was especially helpful as she untangled the Pownall/Pownell's for me. Tootsie Michigan PS Please let me know if you have different names, dates and whatever. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2007 11:40 PM Subject: Re: [PABUCKS] Buckingham & Solebury Twp./Paxson > Tooties, > > My husbands line has Abigail Pownall m William Paxton.

Tooties, My husbands line has Abigail Pownall m William Paxton. James Weldon Pownell and Amanda Belle Pownall were his greatgrandparents. Could we have a connection? Vicki Roggy Showell Omaha,NE.

I have seen all the discussion about the surname Paxson and I kept thinking a line of mine I had seen it mentioned. I have a book down about my ancesters and she used a plat map of land owners. Warren S. Eley's name appears, Doylestown, PA. The story as I have heard it...... My ancester George Pownall purchase surveyed 1681 George Pownall Sr. was killed before his son Geroge Jr. was born. Elinor Pownall m. Joshua Hoopes again under the care of Philadelphia Monthly Meeting 1683. In 1719 George Jr. settled in Solebury Twp., Bucks Co., where he purchased from his brother Reuben, a tract of 484 acres, on the north extending to the Delaware River, to his nephew, Reuben Paxson. George m. Hannah Hutchinson 1707 in Falls Meeting House, Bucks Co. PA and according to this book Hannah died 1788 Bucks Co. PA. Abigail Pownall m. William Paxton 1695 Middletown Monthly Meeting House, Bucks Co. PA. She is a sister to George Jr. Pownall. I haven't been to PA since I began researching and I have only documented this info from Grace & Richard Durig's book or other researchers.. I have gotten really interested in Buck's County of late. I would be interested in anyone's opinion or suggestions. Tootsie Shoemaker Pownall/Pownell was my grandmother's maiden name Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth.
