Thanks, Willie. Always nice to hear from you. Elisha was "my" Wm. Paxton's nephew. Wm and his wife were reported by several historians such as Diehl, as being famous for hospitality in their inn. Strangely, I can't find their inn in any inventory of VA property. Joanne Willie R Beaty <wbeaty@twlakes.net> wrote: Not sure about a home owned by Maj Wm Paxton.

Box 58, Winchester, VA 22604 (540) 662-9041, fax (540) 722-4769 archives@hrl.lib.state.va.us (e-mail) www.hrl.lib.state.va.us James Wood Family Papers 173 WFCHS This collection is comprised of the business papers of Col. James Wood, Sr. and some of his family. The papers are accounts, diaries, receipts and various memorabilia of the family for the period from 1736 to1868. Included are papers of the Frederick County, Virginia Clerk's office for the period from 1743 to 1769. Col. James Wood, Sr. (1707?-1759) was born, according to a grandson, in Winchester, Hampshire, England. He attended Oxford University, was a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and came to Virginia with one of the colonial governors. Around 1735, he acquired a tract of land "on the branches of the Opequon" from which, in 1744, a large part of Winchester was formed in accordance with his stipulations to the Justices of Frederick County. He built the first "Glen Burnie" in 1738. He married Mary Rutherford in 1738 with whom he had children (1) Elizabeth (b. 1739), (2) James, Jr. (b. 1741), (3) Mary (b. 1742), (4) John (b. 1743-44), and (5) Robert (b. 1747). He was a Colonel in the Frederick County militia and served with his friend Col. George Washington in the 1754 campaign against the French. He is buried in the family graveyard at Glen Burnie. (5 boxes) Last updated 11/02. Note: This collection is available on microfilm (Boxes 1-3 on reel M-1972.1; Box 4 on Reel M-1972.1A) in the microfilm file cabinet. Microfilm may be photocopied; originals may not. Records on microfilm may be in different order from this inventory of documents. All items in this collection are manuscript unless otherwise noted. Microfilm is not available on interlibrary loan. *Itemized inventory(54 pages) to this collection is available in Archives Room. Box 1 Account Book of Colonel James Wood, 1748-1757 The original, leather-bound account book of Colonel James Wood contains 42 manuscript pages (84 leaves). The external measurements of the book are 10½ x 15¼ cm. The book is too fragile for reproduction (see James Wood Journal, below). James Wood Journal - Typescript The journal of Colonel Wood is a transcription of the account book of Colonel Wood (above). This 33-leaf typescript contains valuable information for historians and genealogists. Wood's book contains a variety of records, including memoranda, minutes, accounts, court business, and miscellaneous information. Many early settlers are named. Also of interest are the monetary values, both English and Spanish. James Wood Account Book Enclosures Four manuscript pages were found in the pouch of Colonel Wood's account book (same as Journal). These rare and valuable pages add to our understanding of the history of Old Frederick County. Item 1: Lewis Neill certified that Samuel Littalor killed a wolf, May 14, 1748. (16 X 8 cm) Item 2: Letter to the Vestry of Frederick Parish from the Reverends John Gordon and William Mildrum, dated January 22, 1757. (23 X 38 cm) Item 3: A list of 33 residents of Old Frederick County who applied for compensatory damage from the Colony of Virginia. The damages were inflicted by Indians during the French and Indian War. Colonel James Wood wrote this handwritten document, dated February 20, 1759, for submission to the General Assembly. Monetary losses are listed for each of the 33 claimants. (19 X 31 cm) Item 4: Colonel James Wood wrote this fragile, one-page account. It appears to have been an account of his travel expenses during a certain (undated) period. On one trip he "paid an Indian Pilot from Delaware Towns." He bought a bowl from an Indian chief, and bought trinkets from other Indians. Mention is made of Fort Pitt, the Sandusky (now in Ohio), Stafford, and Williamsburg. Wood was reimbursed for a bell stolen by Indians. Wood's travel expenses for this undated period amounted to 74 English pounds. (19½ x 15 cm) Colonel James Wood's Journal - Photocopies All of the primary data in Box 1 of the James Wood Papers have been photocopied and placed in this folder. Those who want to photocopy pages from Colonel Wood's Journal or the associated pages in Box 1 should make copies from this file. Box 2 Accounts, Undated-James Wood, Sr. Accounts, 1730s-James Wood, Sr. *Account mentions Joust Hite, Isaac Purkins and Matthias Alford. Surveys, 1735 - ca. 1750-James Wood, Sr. This small collection of miscellaneous surveys includes an index to the survey book of James Wood, Sr. The Clerk of the County Court in Winchester maintained the original survey book. It has been called various titles, including James Wood's Survey Book, Orange County Survey Book, 1735-1740, or just the plain title Survey Book. Occasionally the book is called the Bayliss Survey Book, because two surveys of the town of Winchester by John Bayliss are appended to Wood's surveys. The index is arranged alphabetically, whereas the survey book is chronological. Unfortunately, the first 16 pages of the survey book were torn out to be presented as evidence during the Hite-Fairfax court suit. Therefore, the index is a very important document. Among the early surveys by Wood were the Bryan-Ross surveys in 1735. The Wood surveys included a plat and a narrative description of the land. Payments Made by James Wood, Sr., 1740-1744 Payments Made by James Wood, Sr., 1745-1749 Payments Made by James Wood, Sr., 1750-1756 Accounts, 1740-1744-James Wood, Sr. The following two folders consist of 31 miscellaneous accounts between Colonel James Wood and various "business people" in old Frederick County. The manuscripts present a rare scenario of commerce during the decade of 1740. Unless otherwise noted, Colonel Wood is the consumer of the goods and services. Accounts, 1745-1750-James Wood, Sr. *Oversized item in MAPCASE 5, Drawer 7 Accounts and Receipts, 1750-1756-James Wood, Sr. There are 21 accounts and receipts belonging to James Wood, Sr. in this folder. A broad range of items was purchased, from farming implements to shoes, clothing, and alcohol. Services included bookbinding, tailoring, and blacksmithing. **Account mentions James Wood's brother Construction Documents, Pre-1759-James Wood, Sr. The two items in this collection suggest the construction of a courthouse and possibly a jail. Written by the hand of James Wood, Sr., the documents mention an office, chamber, passage and double chimney. The cost of different kinds of labor, such as masons, carpenters, smiths and a "labourer," were itemized. A stone wall that was three feet thick may have been a wall for the jail. No date is given, but the time period was within the era of 1744-1759. Proven by the handwriting of James Wood, Sr. Accounts, 1759-1761-James Wood, Sr. Estate The 38 manuscript items in this folder pertain to the settlement of the estate of Colonel James Wood, Sr., who died on November 6, 1759.

Hello All, and Happy New year! I was wondering if anyone who may be new to this list might have mention of any Paxton’s in Danville Illinois, or Danville Indiana. Also, I have a David P Paxton and his wife Sarah (or Serena?) from Champaign St. Joseph Township, Illinois. This is my brick wall, so if anyone knows anything, it would be awesome. Here is what I have James S. Paxton b 1/1/1860 and Lousia b April 1873(Who is a second wife, I don’t know the first) Chauncey Paxton (from first marriage) 7/2/1885 Chauncey married Blanche Fields Sometime before 1907. They had 5 children: Lowell J (my grandfather), Paul, Mildred (who died as an infant), Irene (also died as an infant) and Lloyd Donald. Chauncey died in 1923, and Blanche re-married Lee Keller. Guy G. Paxton (from first marriage) 5/27/1887 Ralf Paxton (from first marriage) 6/24/1889 James and Louisa’s marriage was 1895 children are: Henry b july 1896 Loreen b August 1898 James’s parents are David P (b 1837) and Sara or Serena. (b 1837) both were born in Indiana, however I believe they may have parents born in VA. Children are: James S. 1/1/1860 John W. B 1863 Sara E b 1867 Charles G b 1871 Effie B b 1872 Samuel O 1874 If anyone knows any connection here, it would be awesome. Thanks! Tamara Hancock
