From: <PhilipC938@@aol.com> Subject: Some Indiana Saxon info

I've only traced my Saxon/Sexton line back to Indiana, so far. I'm having a little trouble gett thru 1850 to the earlier generations. Here is some info on another Saxon family I found in the 1850 census for Fayette Co., In.

I've got more on other families. If you are interested in this info I'll send

it as time permits.
