Hello all, In view of the approaching bi-centenary of the birth of Sir Joseph PAXTON, the designer of the Crystal Palace, I have put a tree of his family, as it has been currently researched, on my web page at: http://www.ge35.dial.pipex.com/josephpaxtontree.htm Would any one who has any possible connection with these PAXTONs like to contact me with a view to arranging activities to celebrate the Crystal Palace in 2001 and Sir Joseph's bi-centenary in 2003. I am in touch with a number of living descendants who wish to meet other family members. I am happy to help anyone who is looking for PAXTON connections in England to find their roots. best regards, Eddie Richardson

Hi Wayne, Now that you mention it, we have talked before. I'm curious though about the age of Mary_____, John's wife as being born in 1750 and died abt 1870. Is it possible that she lived to 120? I have a book that has a lot of the Paxson/Paxton line in it but it stops one generation too soon and mentions our John, but doesn't have his wife.

It's been a while since posting my line. I'm mostly looking for the wife of John PAXSON/PAXTON, and the marriage date. My grandfather told of her living to be 105 years old. I've seen Mary's last name mostly as SIMCOCK, but have also seen it as CHESHIRE. I know the SIMCOCK family also came with William PENN, and would lean towards that.

Paxton, daughter of James A. and Nelly McCury Basham born in Navarro Co TX Nov 1895 and living at 3222 Northampton St NW Washington DC in April 1947.

The Paxton-Robbins query you're speaking of is from someone else I believe. My Paxton-Robbins connection is in Alabama and concerns a Sylvester B. Robbins and Alice Paxton. My Paxton came to America from England about 1888-89 into New York then to Pennsylvania and on to Alabama. If I can help further, let me know. Rebecca

Dwight, I don't have any information on your Isabella Paxton, but I have had email contact with a Bill Grant from NY who is descended from a NC Paxton, I think. I can't find his email address right now, but do you know him? I noticed the Grant connection in your email. If you think there might be a connection, I'll try to find his address and send it to you. Let me know. Willie Beaty, researching: Beaty, Koger, Matthews, Smith, Riley, York, Pyle, Paxton, Stiles, Hembree, and Pharr.

All- To introduce myself to this mailing list, I am and have been stuck for quite some time on my gg-grandfather, William Charles Paxton. We have a family bible that was started with his marriage to my gg-grandmother, Mary Eliza Gager on December 5, 1848 in New Jersey. This bible has a number of inaccuracies, and his name is written as both William Charles and Charles William. His birthday is recorded as March 16, 1792 and date of death is July 4, 1878, but we have been unable to find any other record of either event. On one census, he is reported to be a native of Pennsylvania and another census reports he is a native of Louisiana. Family members believed that he spent his declining years at Sailor's Snug Harbor situated on Staten Island, New York, but they responded in the late 1950's that they had no record of him. The information that we received from the State of New Jersey Returns of Marriages indicates that his parents were Peter and Catherine Paxton, but we have not found a record of a Peter Paxton living at that time. He also indicates that he is a widow at the time of this marriage, so there may be other children of his first marriage. Family stories report that he may have run away from home and taken to the sea when he was about 14. We have found a number of records beginning in April of 1836 relating to his varied involvement in a number of ship registrations in New Orleans. When asked about his family by his children, he is reported to have responded that he was from a "good family in Western Pennsylvania" and would say nothing further. Pictures of Captain Paxton appear to indicate or reveal strong American Indian facial features. If anyone has found any information that might help us track down any further information on Captain William Charles Paxton, we would greatly appreciate it! Other names I am researching include Enright, Gager, Horan, Ludwick, Mattingly and Spaulding. I am really enjoying all the information that is now on the Internet, I haven't done any research in almost 12 years and am amazed how much information can be found without entering the door of a library or other public building!
