The only Paxtons that I can locate are from Anderson, SC. They are my grandparents, William Jennings Brian Paxton m. Lida Autry. Their children are Thurman, Betty, Evelyn, Kenneth, Brian and Geraldine. I have birth and death dates of my grandparents, but have to locate them. Any help is appreciated.
