Hello, I just had to share a great find! I'm not sure how I overlooked it before when searching the usgenweb archives, but last night about midnight, I was again searching the archive for documents on Livius Paxton. What came up was about like finding the Hope Diamond -- a bio on Livius C. Paxton that appeared in a book in 1905! It has information on Livius, his parents and siblings, his wife, her parents, and their children. All told, it answered so many questions...and presented others. The bio is located at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/co+index+184845457000+ F Great day! Tina
