Hi Janer, So good to hear for you also.Your Everett Obadiah Paxton very well could of had family in Ohio sending the papers.Have you looked in the Ohio records for his name ? look in the township records, his mother and father could of been from there. belive all Paxton are of the same tree just outher branches. That makes a very very lot of Paxtons, Thats why I stick to just my branch. There's also is Paxton name given to slaves from the plantasion when they were free'ed and outhers that had been taken in by Paxton's such as children. But all in all most are one tree.I have found my family in England, Ireland,Scotland, Weals. and all over the USA I do belive were every were. At least it seams that way.My Father is with out saying the Paxton and my Mother is a Rose and Smith. The Rose's are from northern Ireland they are call black Ireish dark hair some times dark eves and olive skin. The southern Ireish are red heads fair skin and blue eyes. I wont get my Paxton book till Dec. some time but I will look to se if I can find Everett. Best regards Jean Paxton Hughes
