Doing some research for another family ,I came across a Thomas Benjamin Laxton that was married to Margaret Baker. It said they had 3 children Arthur, Ancil and Myrtle. Wasn't sure if you were looking for a Thomas Benjamin or Benjamin Franklin. I didn't know if it could be the same one, just thought I'd let you know. Also it didn't say anything about burial.

I have a certified copy of the death certificate of James Matthew Laxton, born 3/21/1879, died Hemet, Ca, 2/28/1954. He's my grandmothers father.
I saw the marriage cert you attached but his age isn't quite right, by 4 years, but close...do you think they just had her name wrong?

Thanks!

Could you help me with any information about Benjamin Franklin Laxton of Tennessee scot county? His parents were James and Mary Bernard. His children were Authur Austin , William ansil, and myrtle who was my grandmother. She was born in 1894 Choctaw nation Oklahoma and benjamin was said to have died the same year. However I cannot find anything documented about his death or where he is buried. He married Margaret baker 1887 and she remarried 1886 to William radford rains, two years after Benjamin death.
Thank you for any help

Benjamen Franklin Laxton

FrancesRothhammer — 2012-01-22 02:29:17Z

My Great Grandfather was Benjamin Franklin Laxton, and he died sometime in 1894 just before my Grandmother Myrtle Laxton was born. Benjamin was born 1864 in Arkansas to James and Mary (Bernard) Laxton. Benjamin married Margaret Baker, she was my Great Grandmother (mother of Myrtle). He died in Choctaw Indian Territory in Oklahoma. However my father said he was never talked about. My Great Grandma Margaret Laxton married Willam Rains when my Grandmother was only two years old.
There is no record of his death or where he is buried. His siblings were Liddie, John, James, Albert Gerome and David. It is all such a mystery and wondered if anyone researching the Laxtons, knew anything. Thank you, Frances

Re: Charles Laxton

Jech6 — 2011-08-29 09:43:24Z

To Rhodene57. I am thinking that we may have communicated some years back. I have never been able to find our Charles Edward Laxton who was born in Houston TX 1873 (my husband's grandfather) other than one entry: 1900 Federal Census in TX. He died in 1910 in Portland OR and we do have records on that. Family history says he was the son of a Charles Edward Laxton and perhaps even others of that name were in his past line. Your Charles who had a son Charles and went from TN to TX possibly is the link. I would be grateful to see your info. I can give you recent family info on this line and our family stories on "the Laxton's." Here is a bit: "The Laxton's went west into TN with Daniel Boone. Some later went to Missouri and some into TX. The father of Dean's grandfather died from being thrown from a horse and the mother died early also - making the 2 or 3 (??) sons orphaned." The brother we know about, was James Laxton who, as a little boy, walked with another family from MO to OR. He remained in OR, but it seems the two brothers did not have any contact with each other as adults (??). Grandfather Charles E. L. was a lineman in Portland OR. He was on a pole and he took a hold of a power line that was supposed to be turned off and safe. He died right there and left 4 children (One was my husband's father) and a pregnant wife. Looking forward to hearing from you. Jech6

Thats not the Laxton crest. My dad has an old paper thats been framed and its a write up on the origin of Laxton. The Laxton crest actually has two lions in it if I remember correctly.

carolero1 — 2011-02-07 16:10:57Z

I am a descendent of Robert Laxton, son of Clement, (through Claude and Carl). Do you have any information about Clement in England when he was married to Lucy Lancaster? Did he have children there? How did he came to the U.S.?

I visited the village of Laxton near Nottingham in the 1990s. No Laxtons buried in the cemetery there, however, the name of Richard de Lexington (1170) came up in the history of Laxton, or Lexington. I don't know if there is a connection or not.

Re: William Robert Laxton's Ancestry

LORRIEJEANA — 2008-12-22 02:52:14Z

Hi Robert. Not sure if this message will reach you as your post is eight years old! Anyway, William Robert Laxton was my great grandfather. You say his mother's name was Callie Henderson, where did you find this information? I was told that his mother's name was Della. I found her on the 1900 census in Eudora, MS. She listed as head of household living with several of she and Isaac's children. Issac was living alone in Tipton County, TN on the same census. I haven't found her anywhere before or after that census though. William Robert (who was called Will, by the way) named one of his daughters Della after her. My grandmother, who was Will's daughter, told me all of this. Will did have a sister named Callie. Perhaps Isaac's wife's name was Della Callie or Callie Della? I've been told that my Laxton line was Cherokee Indian but I've found no proof of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been researching the names on a memorial in Sheffield, England which remembers the men of the Postal Service who fell in the Great War 1914-19

The result of this research is on my website http://www.stannington.webitsmart.co.uk/ in the 'Sheffield' section. There are details relating to Joseph William Laxton. I'd like to know more about him, especially the identity of any brothers, sisters etc. it would also be nice to know what he did for the post office. He was born in Handsworth and he was a member of the Royal Engineers.

Can anybody tell me more

Kind regards
