Alice & Charlotte My Paxton branch is in Ontario Canada and can be traced back to northeast England (Wolsingham, Durham County). My line came to Canada in 1820 and settled in the Whitby Ontario area (north shore of Lake Ontario east of Toronto), and moved north about 20 miles to Port Perry during the 1800s. Parts of the family did move to the US (NY, CO and CA) in the mid-1800s, but I don't have many details on those lines. I have no Samuel Paxtons in my list of names. Charlotte, I believe the family travelled up the St Lawrence river and landed at either Quebec City or Montreal. It is possible there is a line I don't know about who settled in Quebec rather than coming to Ontario. Happy to share or try to put families together again.
