From the "History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties, Ohio" published
by Williams Brothers, 1880, pg 493:
    "Samuel Paxton settled in Perry, where he married Amy Wilcox, and
remained several years.  In 1823 they removed to Norwich, where he rented
and leased land several years.  He finally settled on a lot of fifty acres,
given his wife by her father.  He lived on the farm near Hilliard, and
cleared the land, and died there in 1849, of cholera.  His wife and
children sold the land their interest in the property, and the children
went to different parts of the country.  One daughter lives in Union
county.  Mr. Paxton lives three miles southeast of Hilliard."
