Connie Mateer says" "I have a Rachel PAXTON (b. 1787 in MD.) who married David Barr. They lived in Jefferson Co. Does anyone know of any other Paxton's in the county. Most are in Bedford, Washington, and Adams." Connie, There are a large number of Paxtons in Frederick Co., MD, along with the Reitz and Thomas families, all of German extraction. As you probably know, all three lines migrated into Jefferson and Adams Co., my direct line coming from Adams Co., and moving to Clay Co., WV, just outside of the Charleston, WV area. I seem to recall the Barr name in MD as well. Have to check my files. Still looking for that elusive Thomas/Six connection before Peter Thomas and Anna Maria Six in Berks Co., PA.
