On the 1840 census he is in Gibson County Tennessee with his wife [Nancy Hammock/Hammack] four sons and one daughter ,all ages under ten.In 1850/60 and 70 they are on the Weakley County Tennessee census. One son ,Swanee Burrus Baxter is listed as born in Henry County in 1841. Does anyone have information on this family. Both Joseph and Nancy died after 1870 but before 1880. I do not know when or where Joseph died ,but Nancy died in 1873 in Henry County. This is from the Whig and Tribune newspaper:Dated 21 Dec 1872; [Mrs.Nancy Baxter,wife of Joseph Baxter of Caledonia,Henry County Tennessee,was stricken with paralysis last week and there is no hope of her recovery.] I would be most greatful for any help on this family. I know Nancy's parents,but not Joseph's.
