General Notes: Husband - Rev. William Paxton, D.D.

He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, being a private in a company of which his father, John Paxton, was captain (Associated Company Pennsylvania Militia, September 11, 1776, and Second Battalion Lancaster County Militia, Col. James Watson, in 1777). He was for fifty years pastor of the Presbyterian church at Lower Marsh Creek, Adams County, Pennsylvania, and was considered a wonderfully good preacher, and a man of excellent ability as a theologian.
