You do live close Your the first person I'n California that I've talked to about the Paxton's. I dont know of the top of my head if the names you gave me are in the book or not. How ever I'll look in my paper work at home. I don't have the book yet, hope to have it in Dec. If I dont find them now I will look in the book for you and geet back and let you know one way or the outher. Have you looked in the Ohio Township information. So meany of the Paxton's started there and went every were from there. >> Hi Jean, Nice to hear from you. Although I know Everett Obadiah Paxton was born in NJ in 1851, it was family knowledge that he, for years, received a mailed copy of a newspaper from a city in Ohio. That's all the info I have - I've no idea which city, or the time period. I'm wondering if there are a number of different families with the Paxton surname. Regards, Janet
