I don't know about the AXSON ancestors of William Axson, but since noone has yet responded I thought I'd add a piece from my family's history: John Axson, a planter of St. James Santee Parish, and his first wife Martha Ann, were childless. When Mary Stead Allston Michau (my gggggrandmother) died in 1807, her widower Abraham Michau entrusted the care of raising their infant daughter Laura to John and Martha Ann Axson. (Martha Ann died when Laura was about 11 old. John later married Mary Ann Gibbes of Charleston). To John Axson, Laura was his own child, and so he calls her in his will. When Laura married Fisher Gadsden they named their first child John Axson Gadsden. The Axson family bible, which was given to Laura, is now located in the archives of the Independent Presbyterian Church of Savannah. That church was chosen because President Woodrow Wilson had married an Axson. (The couple had been married there by their two fathers, both Presbyterian ministers, so the bible was deposited in those archives.)
