I just went and check out http://www.janemobley.com/paxton/ There is an email link to ask about ordering the book as someone else already said, in late 1999 or early 2000. The price is not listed. The title is: The Paxtons, An American History by Frank Paxton Information about the book is also at the site. So this clears up this mystery. We have three books: Paxton Family - We are One (PAXTON. The Paxtons: their origin in Scotland & migr. through Eng. & Ireland to the Col. of Pa., whence they moved South & West, by W. Paxton.) by William McClung Paxton published 1903 Available by reprint from http://www.higginsonbooks.com/ as someone else just posted. The new book Jean Paxton is talking about which sounds like it contains some of the same nformation has "Paxtons-We are One" and Frank Paxton's new book. I have an original copy of the 1903 W.M. Paxton book - We are One- it is so old that I treat it very gingerly. It is falling apart. My 2 great grandmother's sister, Eliza Kerr, owned it. Her great-grandson gave it to me as he had no one interested in genealogy to give it to. **************************************************************** Diane Smith [email protected] http://www.halcyon.com/dianes Seattle, WA Foundation for Educational Choice - http://www.halcyon.com/maywood Kidlink KIDPROJ Assistant/Webmaster - http://www.kidlink.org/ Foster Tukwila Presbyterian Church - http://www.ftpc.org/foster ICQ UIN# 23270571 ***************************************************************** Researching Clark,Paxton,McIlvaine,Campbell,Morrow,Morrison *****************************************************************

Is it in a book store ? or do you know where I can get one ?. Thank you my best regards. Jean Paxton ==== PAXTON Mailing List ==== You may search the PAXTON-L archives on the Rootsweb web site at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl In the surname field, type in PAXTON

Hi Marcia, My Paxton book was also falling apart, thats a nother reason we had it replubished. It also is a hard cover, with the coad of arumer on the front. 1903. We have copyed the old book with the binding and hard cover,but put 70 weight paper acid free paper. What date dose you book start at. Thanks Jean Paxton

Frank told me that he had done additional research and added to the 1903 book. He said he had added other lines from other immigrants as well as Samuel. He sent me a Table of Contents and copies of what he had for my family. I can retype what he said in his letter. I spoke to him on the phone and that was the last time. If Wanda ever was notified to ask for orders, I guess I missed it. I sure didn't receive a notification of the publishing of the book. I suppose his death changed plans all around.

Hi, I belive the Paxton Book being talked about is the same as my Paxton they were bouth published in 1903. No one who has the 1903 book has said what the date is of the frist page ? My Paxton family book is 1250's starting to 1903, it also has the paxton code of arumer on the front. Can any one tell me about there book?.

Hi Everyone, To add to the book discussion: My mother-in-law has the original 1903 "We Are One" book by Wm M. Paxton and I have the Higginson Books copy. It is a large (8x11.5) Xerox version of the "We Are One" book. I have compared the two copies, the only different being the title page. Higginson added their own title page dropping "We Are One". Then they added a page with a statement that it is a photocopy of a original book. I opted to get a hard cover copy for about $100. The quality is good and it is on acid-free paper. I love the wonderful original book but feel more comfortable working with my copy. Marcia Paxton

Hi Diane, Thank's so much for the information.I would love to have the table of contents about your family. As you have seen I'm trying to get all my new found family to send me information and picthers. So this would be great. If you and outher's were not encloud'ed, in time you would be. As we all know this takes time. Thanks again. Jean Paxton Hughes.

HI Clark, Thank so much for the information. I can use all the help I can get. I would love Info, on Harriett Paxton, and any more in this branch. From what you said you are a new found cousin. Im asking all new cousin's to take the time and effort to send me information and picture's of there familys. At this point I'm keeping note books and some day would like to add to my family branch of the Paxton tree. Please think about this. My best regards Jean Paxton.

Hi Jeanne, Thanks for all the good information. I dont know about the Paxton's your talking about, that you cant confrem. I wont know teil after I get the book. I would sure like to know. Be talking to you soon. Take care. MY best regards Jean Paxton.

Ive been reading with interest the various Paxton messages lately and thought I would pass on the following: I am descended from John Paxton and Mary Blair through their son Joseph. Joseph married Margaret (Peggy) Barclay. Their daughter, Harriett, was my gggrandmother. Josephs sister, Elizabeth married Samuel Houston and they were the parents of General Sam Houston. Harriett Paxton was born July 10, 1792 in Botecourt, Va. She Married Horatio V. Philpott in Lincoln Co. TN, 1813.. She died in Freestone Co. TX, on Jan. 5, 1856. Being a native of Texas of course I had to foIlow through to discover my kinship with Gen'l Sam. Have considerable info on Harriett Paxton Philpott if any interest. Clark Compton

Hi Janet, Thanks for getting back to me. You do live close Your the first person I'n California that I've talked to about the Paxton's. I dont know of the top of my head if the names you gave me are in the book or not. How ever I'll look in my paper work at home. I don't have the book yet, hope to have it in Dec. If I dont find them now I will look in the book for you and geet back and let you know one way or the outher. Have you looked in the Ohio Township information. So meany of the Paxton's started there and went every were from there. I've only been working on my family tree for the last two months, but I was very lucky and been given names from the book to recurch. You know the hard part is that way back in time they did'ent keep records like we do now. Every thing was keep in the family bible's. They new who they were talking about so meany middle names were not put in and the information is very hard to look up and some times these people will not be found for that reason. One good way I've found is Sir names were pass'ed down the line and given as first and middle names. Good luck on you surch. I'll do what I can. Have a great day. MY best regards Jean Paxton ( Hughes )

Dear Jeanne - Samuel Paxton was born in Ireland in ca 1670. He arrived in Pennsylvania about 1730 with his family. As he was somewhat advanced in years at that time, he did not survive the rigors of pioneer life-his death occured about 1746, at his home on Marsh Creek, Adams Couty, Pa. His son John, born in Ireland about 1692, had married a Scotch-Irish lassie by the name of Elzabeth Alexander and they were the parents of five sons and a daughter. About 1741, John Paxton died and shortly thereafter his widow and fatherless children migrated up the Shenandoah Valley to avail themselves of the cheap land found in the Borden's Grant. One of the Paxton boys was named John. As he was born in 1716, he was now in his thirties and married-his wife, whom he married about 1742, was the daughter of Rev. Robert Blair. It is recorded that John Paxton, of Lancaster County, PA, was deeded 196 acres , three rods , and thirty-six poles on land on the Wood"s Creek, 10 July 1750. The property had been bought from Benjamin Borden, Sr. 27 July 1742, the same day that Joseph Lapsley bought the adjoining tract (August D. B. 2, 849) Kirkham seems to have veen a land-speculator and probably made a good profit on the deal. Hope this gives you alittle back-ground to research.

Here is a web site with connectins to the Paxton Book http://www.janemobley.com/paxton/index.html

Hi Jean, I have copies of the book published in 1903 by Wm. M. paxton in Missouri and as best I can ascertain most of it is accurate. However, he gives no documentary proof of his thesis and I have been unable to find any for the earliest members who came to Pa.and then to Rockbridge/Augusta counties in Va. Among the officers of Cromwell's army,there is no Paxton and the statement that the headsman of Charles I is definitely erronous as it is well documented he was a Brandon. I would love to know if the first Paxton in this country was actually named Samuel. Do you haveeeeee this? Also,is Frank's book merely a reprint of the earlier book? No one told me he had died or the book had gone to press, so I'm sure they did not include me among the orders. Just hope you can get it for me. I have most of the early Va. history and when in Lexington visit the family graveyard where both John Paxton and Mary Blair are buried. The cemetery is mantained by Matthew W. Paxton III who lives in Lexington. They are a lovely family. What I have not been able to learn is anything about Elizabeth Stuarrt whom William paxton married. I know she was a sister to Col. Alexander Stuart, aunt to JEB Stuart and little else about the family. Also I don't know much about Mary Blair, but am making that my winter project. I would be very grateful for any new information you have and will of course reimburse you for any expenses involved. Incidentally, our daughter lives in Alamo,Calif. so I shall look forward to meeting my new cousin in the not too distant future. Until then, I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Jean, I also subscribe to the Paxton News list, and have been following your notes with a great deal of interest. I notice you live in Huntington Beach. I live in Yorba Linda, not too far from you. I suspect my Paxton line isn't the same as yours, but am not sure. I've only been able to go back to Everett Obadiah PAXTON, b. Apr 1851, in NJ. I can't find Everett's father and mother anywhere. I did find an Obadiah PAXTON on the 1850 census in East Orange, NJ. He was aged about 68 or so, if I remember correctly. I don't know if they are the same line, or not. The earliest census I have for Everett is the 1880 in Kansas, where he is shown with wife and family - he was 30 at the time. Are any of these names mentioned in the book you speak of? Sure would like to connect. Regards, Janet Paxton

Hi Jeanne, Yes it's me again. I'm always so hapy to get your mail.I will look in the information at home and let you know if itl's not there when I get the book in Dec will look in it also.There is about 20,00000000000 William Paxton's and so many of them are not listed with a middle name or any way to link them so will never know. How far are the cousin in the valley from you and also the ones you just spoke of. Did'ent you say the ones in the valley live yet in one of the old Paxton House's,If so and if your close a Picture of the house and information from all of these people would really help me with adding information to the cousin tree. Are you going to send me your family information and pictures?. I've found the best way to get the Info. is on a recorder. the more we get it makes easer to put the tree togather. That would really be great to see you. all of theis new found family is so much fun and to see how much of the family jeans that we have the same. My address is Jean Hughes ( Paxton ) 6271 Balmoral Dr. Huntington Beach, Ca. 92647 My Fax is 714-847-8438 the same as phone if you want to fax me must call first so I can turn it on. I wonder if the 1903 Paxton Book is the same as ours If you would send me some of where it starts and some of the names.Thanks, have a good night. I'll be on line later to night. My best regards Jean Paxton Hughes

Hi Wanda, It's me Jean again I;ve tryed the the web site for Frank Paxton with no luck. Where did you go to get the site? I'm new at the computer. on surch it just did'ent happen. Thanks Jean Paxton Hughes.

Hi Wanda, I dont know if I sent this to you are not. How ever I'm looking for Paxton of the same family tree John Paxton and Mary Blair. Would you happen to be of this tree?. If so I'm trying to get information and pictures of all my new found family, for some day I would like to add it to my family Paxton Book that starts in the 1200's If you are from this branch I would love to add your family. My best regards Jean Paxton ( Hughes ).
