By any chance do you have a stray Joseph Paxton running around in your bunch ? I am having a hard time tracking down this Joseph and who he came from. His wife was Lavica Bowers and they were married in or around Carter Co, Tn. Joseph's mother was said to have been native American. One census for Worth Co, Mo says he was born in 1801 at Va. Another says he was born at 1801 Tn. ......................Linda Paxton http://www.geocities.com/lindapaxton/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Monday, November 08, 1999 11:29 PM Subject: Fwd: [PAXTON-L] Hugh Paxton > >--part1_0.29925891.25590af1_boundary >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > > >--part1_0.29925891.25590af1_boundary >Content-Type: message/rfc822 >Content-Disposition: inline > >Return-Path: <[email protected]> >Received: from rly-yc05.mx.aol.com (rly-yc05.mail.aol.com [172.18.149.37]) > by air-yc03.mail.aol.com (v62.15) with ESMTP; Mon, 08 Nov 1999 > 23:33:09 -0500 >Received: from bl-14.rootsweb.com (bl-14.rootsweb.com [204.212.38.30]) by > rly-yc05.mx.aol.com (v62.10) with ESMTP; Mon, 08 Nov 1999 23:32:43 > -0500 >Received: (from [email protected]) > by bl-14.rootsweb.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA20326; > Mon, 8 Nov 1999 20:31:29 -0800 (PST) >Resent-Date: Mon, 8 Nov 1999 20:31:29 -0800 (PST) >From: [email protected] >Message-ID: <[email protected]> >Date: Mon, 8 Nov 1999 23:30:52 EST >Subject: Re: [PAXTON-L] Hugh Paxton >Old-To: [email protected] >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 10 >Resent-Message-ID: <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Resent-From: [email protected] >Reply-To: [email protected] >X-Mailing-List: <[email protected]> archive/latest/1081 >X-Loop: [email protected] >Precedence: list >Resent-Sender: [email protected] > >Hi,Thank you for all the inforation.
