Hello, My name is David Guthrie and I am researching my Paxton ancestors. The same names in different branches of the Paxtons is very confusing. I would welcome any information on how to purchase one of the books on the Paxtons. This is what I have on my line: The John Paxton in #4 is probably General Sam Houston's GF by his daughter Elizabeth. 1. James Paxton, fled to Ireland from Scotland (Berwickshire), died in Ireland, after which his three sons (Wm., Thomas, Samuel) came to America... 2. son Samuel Paxton (b.1670, d.1746) father of... 3. John Paxton (b.1692, d.1746), married Elizabeth Alexander, parents of... 4. John Paxton (b.1716, d.2/13/1787), married Martha (Mary?) Blair (b.1726, d.8/12/1821), parents of ... 5. Capt. William Paxton (b.1751, d.4/16/1817), married Elizabeth Stuart (b.6/13/1755, d.11/16/1826), parents of... 6. James Paxton (b.5/4/1790, d.3/5/1858), married twice (1st-Eliz. Blair - 6 children; 2nd- Elizabeth (Poage) Gibson-8 children), "born at the old homestead on James River near Balcony Falls in Rockbridge Co., VA and lived their all his life", with Poage parents of.. 7. Adeline Barclay Paxton (b.1/8/1830, d.1/8/1901), married John Gilkeson Guthrie 12/16/1846 (my GG grandparents), parents of 8 children. Any information to confirm or modify this would be appreciated.
