I am a descendant of the Paxtons of Adams County and Cumberland CVounty Pennsylvania - I know about some of them - the oldest being Aaron Paxton - a Civil War Veteran who died about 1886 at 68 years of age (I think) There was a bunch of Paxtons at a place called Marsh Creek - somewhere around Gettysburg. I dont think this has been of any help - but if you know anyth ing about any other Paxtons in this area, I would appreciatye any leads - Sincerely Gary Thomas

I apologize if any of you receive this information in duplicate from other source, but I felt it was important to pass this along just in case you have not heard about it. Some major changes are underway with regards to a merger between Rootsweb and Ancestry.com. The following note from Karen at Rootsweb explains the purpose of the merger and also what we can expect. Rootsweb has served the genealogical world so well and the folks there have always been forthright in their communications, so I feel this will be a positive for Rootsweb and the future of free genealogical resources on the internet.

Perhaps it has something to do with the land titles in the disputed areas between VA and PA (York County, PA). They weren't "forced" out but could not obtain land title so they moved to where they could get more secure land.

Hi, I am seeking information on William Paxton born 1818, christened 21.2.1819 Claydon, Oxford. William died 1.9.1893 at his residence 31 Palmeira Square, Hove. Paxton married Mary Ann Cowper in 1843 and they had 11 children - at least 4 of whom died quite young. William Paxton travelled to Adelaide, South Australia in 1840 and soon became very involved in the development of the city. He was a chemist and also had real estate and mining interests. He made a trip to England in 1843 to marry but then returned permanently to England in 1855. Any help would be appreciated. Kind regards, Sue
