When I see so many looking for John Paxton's I must jump in. My John Paxton according to most of the information I have was born in PA, about 1814. Last week one of John Paxton's children's censes report said, John was born in West Virginia. All the others have said PA. Both John & Nancy's parents were born in PA> I am now looking for a connection for a John Paxton in West Virginia. Would appreciate any clues. John Paxton b. 1814 PA or WV Nancy Shoemaker Paxton b. 1817-8 PA Married about 1840 where? PA, WV, Ohio? First child born in Ohio Caroline W. b 1840 Ohio Jospehine Agnes b. 1842-4 Ohio Franklin B. b. 1846 Ohio Ezra Columbus b. 1849 Union, Van Buren Co, Iowa Violet Skinner b. 1 Spetember 1850 Demoines, Iowa, Polk Co Jerome Bonapart b. 9 July 1857, Winchester, Van Burne Co., Iowa (My Line) Boyd Boyd Paxton 8319 Terrace Drive Sandy, Utah 84093 801-943-2866 bpaxton001@aol.com

Hi Boyd, As much as I would like to think we're tracking the same John Paxton I think they are different. My John Paxton was born in West Virginia like yours but I have record of him getting married in Greeneville, TN in 1854 to an Isabella Falls. According to the Censuses I have been able to track him from 1854 to his death in Kansas in 1905 and all records show him to have been born about 1825. There were a considerable amount of Paxtons in West Virginia especially Clay Cty so try looking there. Good Luck.
