Hi Jeanne- According to my records Elizabeth Stuart b. 6-13-1755 d. 11-16-1826 was married to William Paxton b. 1751 d. 4-16-1817. The John Paxton (b. 8-11-1797 was born in Rockbridge County VA and died 12-4-1845) who married Elizabeth Childress (b. 2-17-1799 in Rockbridge County VA and died in 11-1858) was my gggg grandfather. -----Original Message----- From: Jeanne Fisher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 22, 2000 2:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PAXTON-L] Samuel & Susan Paxton Hi Andrea, I too am a descendant of the Rockbridge Paxton family. Please take the book you referred to as a point of reference only. There is a lot of mixed up information in it and no documentation for the family before their arrival in this country. The John Paxton who came from Ireland was my ancestor and he was married to Elizabeth Stuart.. The John who married a Childress must have been the next generation. If I can be of help, let me know. Good luck. J. Paxton Fisher Chrisanna Paxton wrote: > Hi Andrea- > I would love to see this also! > > My address is: [email protected] > > 1147 S.
