    3. Hi Wanda and other Paxton Cousins, I'm not new to the Paxton list, but have been away for awhile. I am a descendant of Maj. William Paxton and his wife, Eleanor Hays of Rockbridge Co. VA. He was the youngest son of Elizabeth Alexander and John Paxton, immigrants from Ulster. William and Eleanor's daughter, Susannah, married Joseph Gilmore of Rockbridge Co. VA. Other surnames from VA include Rowland, Lackey, Poage, Humes and Beggs. I've been researching family lines for a long time, but once I got my first computer in 1995, I turned into a genealogy addict. Made lots of mistakes before I remembered that research online still requires solid research methods... like remembering to list sources! Oh, woe is me for the times I forgot!

    3. Hi my name is Christopher Hann. I joined the list in hopes of learning more about my grandfather's heritage. His name was Wilbur A. Paxton and he lived in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania when he passed. He was married to Betty Vaughn and had 2 children, Linda and Gary. His sister's name is Margaret Paxton who married Herman Willard. My great grandmother's name was Sarah and they grew up in Middle Spring which is on Paxton Run Road, Newburg, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately that is all I have researched so far. I am hoping to look through some documents this weekend to start getting a basic tree started. If anyone has a GED file or any known information on this line of Paxton's, it would be much appreciated.

    3. PAXTONS-- The Paxtons, a very numerous connection in this county, fall into two groups, the progeny of two brothers. One of these settled on South River, the other south of Lexington. The Paxtons have been a prosperous fold and have stood high in the community. Several of the earlier generations were wealthy, aristocratic planters, and unusually heavy growers of hemp. Not a few of the descendants have attained prominence in literary, professional, and business circles. Major James Paxton, a son of William and his wife Elenor Hays, was from 1818 until 1828 commandant of the arsenal at Lexington. He then retired to an estate at the mouth of the Cowpasture owned by his father-in-law, John Jordan. Here he died in 1866 at the age of eighty-five. Major Paxton was a great leader and scholar. A shadow come over his life through his killing of a Captain Dade in a duel. Colonel James H., a son of Colonel William Paxton, was a graduate of Washington College in the class of 1833. He delighted in the classics and was the foremost Latin scholar in Rockbridge. At his home, "Mountain View," he maintained for twelve years a classical school, and was a friend of public schools. Colonel Paxton served a term in the Senate in Virginia. He died in 1902 at the great age of ninety years. His wife was Kate Glasgow, and his children were Nellie, Kate G., Archibald H., Robert (a captain in the United States army), William T., Professor James H., and J. Jordan. John D. Paxton, who died in 1868 at the age of eighty-four, was also a graduate of Washington College. For some years he was a missionary in Europe. His sermons number 5769. He was a most vehement opponent to slavery, and in 1833 he published a volume against it. He also published a volume on his travels in the Eastern continent. A memoir of Mr. Paxton was written by his widow. His nephew, John W., a son of James H. Paxton, was an eminent physician. Elisha F. Paxton the one brigadier directly contributed by Rockbridge to the Confederate army, was a nephew to Governor McNutt, of Mississippi, and was born in 1828. He graduated from Washington College in 1845, from Yale College in 1847, and completed a law course at the University of Virginia in 1849. General Paxton was an original secessionist, and at the outset of the war was a lieutenant in the Rockbridge Rifles. After serving as aide-de-camp to Stonewall Jackson, he took command of the Stonewall Brigade, November 2, 1862. He was killed at the head of his troops in the battle of Chancellorsville, May 2, 1862, just one day before his commander was disabled. Indifferent eyesight had caused him to abandon the law and turn to farming. The wife of General Paxton was E--- H. White. His children are Matthew W., the present editor of the Rockbridge County News, and the present dean of Rockbridge journalism, John G., an attorney of Kansas City, and Frank of San Saba county, Texas. James G., an elder brother of General Paxton, was killed August 6, 1870, in the train wreck at Jerry's Run on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. Alexander S., a son of Thomas P. Paxton, was the author of Memory Days, a delightful sketch of antebellum times in Rockbridge. The story centers about an old field school near the entrance to Arnold's Valley.

I know she had a brother named David, and that is not my ancestor. However one of the other brothers there might be a possibility. On the tombstone of David Hay who died in Perry County Ala it states he was born in Barnwell South Carolina. I am trying to determine if any of the family of Eleanor could have been in South Carolina. My David was born 1777, therefore his father would be born perhaps in 1750 or so. A child of David Hay and Winnifred Pope by the name of Mary, married John Sutton. Any information you might have is appreciated.

Given the Paxton propensity for following naming conventions, I have often speculated that perhaps Thomas' father was a William, but that has brought me to no conclusion, since William is a prevalent Paxton name. There are billions of them!! I'll use this opportunity once again to ask all of you if you have an ancestor who may have had a sonThomas, born early 1800's. He married Mary Wilson, daughter of Garland Wilson, in Carter County, TN (later Johnson County). Both he and his wife are found in the 1830 Census, but not thereafter.

    3. Okay, here are the names I desperately need help with. Any info is great! David P Paxton of Indiana, born in 1837. My guess is he lived in vermillion county, but that is a guess. I know from the 1880 census that his parents were both born in Virginia. He was married to a Sarah E, born around 1837 in Ohio. I need a marriage date if possible? James S. Paxton born 1 january 1860 in Indiana, died 10 July 1935 in Chicago. He had been married once and had at least two children, Chauncey and Guy. I am not sure what happened to his wife, but he remarried a Louise C (no maiden sorry) This shows in the 1930 Census, but I have no idea when this happened because I cannot locate him on the 1920 census. If anyone knows anything it would be great! I have a feeling I am not related to most of the people on this list, as we are concentrated in Illinois and Indiana, but it is worth a try!

I only have the names of and estimated year of birth of Thomas Paxton (born before 1840 and Mary Wilson was born after 1800 but have no further info about them other than their descendants. Son, William Garland (known as W. G.) Paxton was born sometime between 1827 and 1832 (date unable to be confirmed so far) in Tennessee, served in the Civil War from his home in Shelby County, Texas and died in August 1900 in Shelbyville, Shelby County, Texas (he is buried in Fairview Cemetery in Center, Shelby County, Texas); he married Nancy Julina (known as N. J.) Weaver also born about 1827 in Tennessee. They moved to (first) somewhere in Kentucky and (second) to Shelbyville in Shelby County, Texas and had five children: (1) Garland William (G. W.) Paxton born about 1851 in Kentucky; (2) Mary E. Paxt! on born about 1852 in Kentucky; (3) Thomas A. (T. A.) Paxton born about 1855 in Kentucky; (4) John Jackson (John J.) Paxton born June 13, 1856 in Shelby County, Texas and died June 2, 1928 in Houston, Harris County, Texas; and (5) Joseph Paxton born about 1858 in Shelby County, Texas. So far, I have no further information on any of the siblings of John Jackson Paxton except that Thomas married someone named Dorothy A. (?) and had two children, but do have loads of info on John's 2 wives and their descendants. I do believe that your Thomas Paxton/Mary Wilson are the same as mine and hope to obtain further info from you and I will send you what I have on the Paxton family. Let me know whether to email you my Paxton info or whether to mail it. If the info you have is lengthy, you may wish to mail rather than email it to me. Let me know and I will send you my address. You can probably tell that I am somewhat new at this and hope to do better in the future. There is a Paxton descendant who has been researching the Paxton Family since sometime in 1977 and she knows far more than I do. I am getting some info from her.
