Hello Family (as we are all related somehow somewhere.....) Anyway, I have had many emails asking for the Paxton newspaper articles. There are several. The majority of them are written by George West Diehl (a famous historian) and there is also a article about Capt. John Paxton and Phoebe Alexander Paxton (not my direct branch, but VERY interesting article). These are posted at: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/pax/PaxtonBios This is a great place to post info such as this (thanks for the idea Wanda!!!). Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions or have problems pulling this up!!! Who am I??? Where to begin.... My family has been working on different aspects of the family tree for years, but I was never interested until they showed me I could do it on computer and incorporate photos and so on. It is addictive!!! I am researching my grandmothers side (Mitchell's, Laird's Zickefoose) and my grandfathers side. I have been able to find a lot on the Paxton side, but could always use more information!!! My grandfather is: Edward Franklin Paxton, b. 12-1-1920 (Glencoe, OK) Charlie Ira Paxton, b. 9-6-1888 (Kingman, KS) Frank Philander Paxton, b. 10-10-1858 (Richman, VA) Samuel A.
