HI CAROL,

HERE ARE MY BAXLEY BEGINNINGS AS I HAVE RESEARCHED:

THOMAS BAXLEY ABT. 1720 BLADEN COUNTY, NC
CHILDREN:
JOB 1755 BLADEN
JOHN JULY 15, 1743
WILLIAM 1745
EDMUND 1750
THOMAS 1760
JAMES

THERE IS ALSO A JOHN BAILEY BORN 1743 IN YORKSHIRE ENGLAND THAT HAD THE FOLLOWING CHILDREN WITH MARY SPROUL FROM DELAWARE:

JOHN BAXLEY 1769
SARAH 1773
LEVI 1783
THOMAS 1775
WILLIAM 1777
MARY 1779
JOSEPH 1781

I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS CORRECT BECAUSE BOTH JOHN BAXLEY BORN 1769 AND THE ONE BORN 1743 HAVE THE SAME DATES AND NAMES FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

HERE IS MY SUPPOSED LINE:

THOMAS BAXLEY 1720 BLADEN COUNTY
JOB 1755
ALLEN JOHN 1794
JACOB CAL 1834-1863 (MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER). HE DIED AS A POW IN CAMP CHASE, OHIO IN CIVIL WAR.
WESTON FLETCHER 1860-1942 (MY GREAT GRANDFATHER)
LAURA BELLE 1900-1995 (MY GRANDMOTHER)
RABON PARKER (MY FATHER) 1939 TO PRESENT
ROBIN PARKER MEEKINS (ME) 1969

HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT THE CHURCH OF LATTER DAY SAINTS GENEALOGY WEBSITE? THEY HAVE THE BEST INFO. I THINK.

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT SAM WEST FROM LUMBERTON, NC. HE HAS A WEALTH OF INFO. HE HAPPENS TO BE RELATED TO ME BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING. HE AND THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF ROBESON COUNTY, NC HAS WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED :OUR HERITAGE 1745-2003". I GOT IT AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT. THERE IS INFORMATION ON JUST ABOUT EVERY FAMILY FROM ROBESON COUNTY. IT'S A GREAT BOOK. IT'S LIKE $69.00 OR SO BUT GOOD.

EMAIL ME AND WE CAN EXCHANGE PHONE NUMBERS IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

I NOTICED YOUR LAST NAME IS MCSWAIN. IS THAT YOUR MARRIED NAME? I HAVE SOME MCSWAIN FRIENDS. THEIR GRANDMOTHER IS FROM SPARTENBURG, SC. WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
