Hi Shirley, That's my problem. I don't know. My John Paxton is my brick wall so to speak. I have traced my family line back to him. What I do know from a biographical sketch I have is that John Paxton's father was first in Virginia and then moved to West Virginia where he stayed til he died. John then went to Green County, TN and married in 1854. I can trace his life from there to his death in Kansas in 1905. I'm trying to find out his parentage. The sketch suggests he may be of german descent. I know it's not much to go on but it's all I have at this time. Appreciate any help you may be able to be. --- shirley hall <shirleyhall@ntelos.net> wrote: > who was your john paxtons father and mother. send > some info > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Janis Bultema" <kbultema@sbcglobal.net> > To: <PAXTON-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 6:03 AM > Subject: [PAXTON-L] John Paxton - Virginia > > > > Shirley, > > > > Appreciated your post.
