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.

I show the following: Alice Simcock b-1707/08, d-aft 1761 m- Reuben Paxson 26 Jul 1730 They had 5 children, one of which was named John. John married Mary (unknown) abt 1772 Mary was born abt 1750 and died abt 1870 in Waynesville, Ohio. If this sounds interesting, the info can be found at my site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~lukedillon/index.htm The site was made by the LDS PAF and unfortunately loads slow. Be patient.
