Surnames: Paxson, Wright, Farnsworth Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DaB.2ACE/4125 Message Board Post: My great-grandfather's name was Henry Paxson WRIGHT. We know that Henry's grandfather, Benjamin WRIGHT, was born in Bucks Co on 12 Apr 1794 probably somewhere in the vicinity of Falls Township. Henry's father, Aden WRIGHT, was born 14 Oct 1819 in Bucks Co, PA. About 1825, the family relocated to Fairfield Twp, Lycoming Co, PA. Benjamin WRIGHT had several children with a first wife that we have never identified. It appears that she died before the move to Lycoming Co and a subsequent second marriage to Eunice FARNSWORTH. My ancestor, Aden, was one of those children with the unidentified first wife. It recently occurred to me that Aden may have given my great-grandfather, Henry, a middle name of Paxson because that was his mother's maiden name. The children we know were born to Benjamin WRIGHT and his first wife are: Aden 14 Oct 1819, Benjamin 25 Dec 1820, William about 1822, Amos F. about 1825, and Elizabeth 25 Aug 1830. Have any of you PAXSON researchers come across a potential or probable PAXSON-WRIGHT connection with my WRIGHT family?
