Hi Fran, Sorry, I know nothing--have been working other lines and was hoping I had stumbled onto a new line of research. Would love to follow up on this, seems like Kerfoot might be a Native american line also (just guessing). Betty

Any data on them and names of their children or lineage would be appreciated. Thanks, Martha Allan

Betty, what do you know about the Native ancestry of your New Madrid Co., MO family members? Thanks. Fran -----Original Message----- From: Betty A Kinney [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 10:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PAXTON-L] Welcome new subscribers Dear Fred, This is the first time I have ever responded to a posting, so bear with me , please. My grandmother was Maysie Nevada Paxton, born Feb. 1, 1883 in New Madrid, MO, she married there to Andrew Crawford Adams on May 12, 1912. Her brother was Amos Andrew Jackson Paxton, there were sisters (Viola and Cora). My grandmother's father was Amos Paxton (b. Dec 1851) and her mother was Ada Kerfoot. I have worked mostly on my other "lines", maybe this is the time to start with this one. Any thing you could tell me would be greatly appreciated, it is just too much of a "coincidence" about the Paxtons of our families being from New Madrid, MO.
