Like other researchers, I am still stumped as to the parents of Thomas, who died in Johnson County, TN sometime after 1830. As you know, WG was the only surviving child of Thomas. Given the Paxton propensity for following naming conventions, I have often speculated that perhaps Thomas' father was a William, but that has brought me to no conclusion, since William is a prevalent Paxton name. There are billions of them!! I'll use this opportunity once again to ask all of you if you have an ancestor who may have had a sonThomas, born early 1800's. He married Mary Wilson, daughter of Garland Wilson, in Carter County, TN (later Johnson County). Both he and his wife are found in the 1830 Census, but not thereafter.
