    1. [PAXTON-L] Isabella Paxton
    2. I am still trying to penetrate the wall behind Isabella R. Paxton to learn her parents, siblings, etc, so I will repeat this message: Seeking to identify the parents and siblings for Isabella Paxton. Isabella was probably born in North Carolins about 28 February 1781. She married Pliny Robbins March 1801. Pliney Robbins was born 9 February 1781, also probably in NC. He died Febuary 1812. They had four children: Sophia Western Robbins who married James Oliver; Caroline Robbins married Thomas J. Powell; Eveline Robbins married David Waits; and Algernon Sydney Robbins who married Elizabeth Turner (my 3rd great grandparents). Isabella married 2nd John Grant in S.C. by whom she had David Milton Grant, born about 1818. David married Nancy Wait, daughter of David and Eveline Wait. John died before the 1820 census in which Isabella (age 25-45) is shown as head of the household in Abbeville Co, SC. Isabella moved back to Georgia and is found in Hall Co. in 1827. The 1830 census for Dekalb Co., GA lists her (age 40-50), after which we lose tract of her. This plea for information has been aired before, and was published many times in various genealogical publications, but always without reward. Hopefully, this time someone will come through to solve this problem for me, or at least give me a clue that might lead to a solution. Dwight Allen
