I am trying to find the parents of Aaron Paxton. Aaron was born 24 Apr 1818 and died 19 Nov 1886 in Tyrone, Adams, PA. He married Hannah Maria Group. They lived in Menallen, Adams county, PA. There is some evidence his parents might be Samuel and Sarah Paxton, but this is unconfirmed.

My GG grandfather Aaron was born in Centre County, PA. Thru my DNA World Family Paxton project testing we have close relatives from Virginia and Maryland. So, trying to figure out if the Paxton family came from New York and moved south or East in Philadelphia and moved west is a puzzle to research. I have been working on many Paxton lines over the last 20 years without making direct ties to Aaron. I have found that a huge amount of these lines are dead ends. If we could possibly trace these line to the present and contact a male in those lines to take the cheap 32 y-chrome DNA test, perhaps we could get some other avenues in our research. If you find or come up with any brain storms, please feel free to let me know.

Aaron Paxton of Menallen Twp, Adams, Pennsylvania is my 3x great-grandfather. Federal census records indicate that he was born in PA, although his parents and birthplace are still elusive. There is federal census data for a family headed by Aaron Paxton in Ohio that is contemporary with Aaron Paxton in Adams County, PA, although somewhat older. The similarities between the families include both wives named Hannah and children in both families with the same given names. A male relative from the Menallen Twp, PA Aaron Paxton line participated in a DNA testing project and learned that this Aaron Paxton is descended from James Paxton, born 1640 in Ireland.

The last sentence is not true. Aaron Paxton ties to a James Paxton about 99.99% which makes them related within a generation or two. This James was born about 1788 in PA or MD. We have not reached the 1640 James and I do not think we will ever tie into this James because that family DNA is totally different. How do I know this information? I am the participant in the Aaron Paxton line in this project. If you need help in this line please feel free to contact me direct, Thank You!

Wrong James! Thanks for the correction. I misinterpreted the original information that I received on this, which was long enough ago for me to have difficulty locating the email containing it. So do we know who James Paxton's (b. 1788) parents were? And we are still missing the link between Aaron Paxton of Adams, PA and this James. Am I correct in this?

No, the parents of this James have not been discovered yet. Yes, we are still missing the links between our gg grandfather and James. My guess at this point in about 2-3 generations back from Aaron. We are all still trying to locate documents on these families. Thanks for your help.
