Dear Geri,

WOW! Thank you so much. What a lot of information! Are you a Paxon,
Paxson, Paxton? If so, how are you related? In regard to orienting myself
to finding reference materials and for purposes of sourcing documentation in
my files - Is this from a book or website? If so, could you please give me
the title, author and date or the website/URL.

I do so appreciate you reading my inquiry, promptly researching & finding
the information and taking the time to send this to me.

Is there more information somewhere on their descendants or did they leave
the county or state after 1887?

Would you know anything about a Sarah McDonald Paxton b 1 Jan 1823 MD - d 23
Oct 1879 who on 28 Aug 1840 in Washington, DC married George W. Wolford who
died before 1849? Sarah McDonald Wolford nee Paxton then married John
Ellsworth Chappell. She bore at least four Wolford children and ten
Chappell children.

And/or William Paxson 26 Apr 1743 married Mary Suber. They had a daughter,
Annie Paxson, who in 1795 Newton, Bucks Co, PA married Henry Tomlinson b
1759 Bucks Co, PA - d 1829 Montgomery Co, PA? Annie & Henry had eight
children.

Again, thank you so much.
