Hi Boyd. Sorry my info relates only to PAXTONs recorded in Scotland. The Paxton name is said to have originated in Britain from those living in the town of Pacs which was a town near the border of Scotland and England. As a result Paxtons were also prevalent in England. Hence it is possible that the ancestors of those you are seeking could have been migrants from either Scotland or England. Regards John J.
