Paxton b. 1928 around Emmitsburg or Taneytown. He's buried in the Tom's Creek Presbyterian Cemetery near Emmitsburg. I've thought the John on the 1850 census in Carroll might be Samuel's father and I think his mother is Hester or Ester Cornell. The name Curran sounds familiar. I have a few deeds somewhere for Frederick Co. I will look and see if that name is on any of them. I have had a hard time with this Paxton line since they don't seem to tie in with the other Paxtons. Martha >> Hello! Martha, Could you tell me if Samuel's wife Emily Jane Null is also buried in this cemetery? Have you found out what ever happened to these son's of Samuel & Emily (Null) Paxton; John William, Charles Ellsworth, Robert C., Samuel Grant, and James Edward Paxton. They must have moved west or south someplace. Trying to locate. Thanks. Regards, Craig
