   ALBERT S. PAXSON farmer, P.O. Langhorne, is a 
great-grandson of Phineas Paxson, a farmer, formerly 
landlord of the "Buck" hotel, at Feasterville, who died on 
his farm, which is now owned by William S. Hogeland.  His 
wife was Sarah Michener.  But one of their children, 
Charles, lived to maturity.  After his father's retirement 
he kept the hotel for several years, then went to the 
"Trappe" tavern for a few years, then to Langhorne, and 
thence to a farm in Northampton township.  This he sold and 
removed to Wrightstown, and six or seven years later removed 
to Salem, N. J., where he died in 1854, aged 76 years.  His 
wife, Susan Michener, died a few days before him, aged 68.  
Their children were:  Mary, Annie, Susan, Alice and Charles, 
deceased; and Sarah and Phineas, father of Albert S., who 
was born May 6, 1827.  He has always been a farmer, and is 
now living in this township near his sons.  His wife was 
Rebecca Tomlinson, who was born in 1829, and died in 
January, 1885.  Their children are:  Amos, Charles and 
Alice, all deceased; and Emily, John, Carrie, Augustus, Ella 
and Albert S., living.  The latter was born March 5, 1854.  
He was reared to farming and lived with his father until his 
marriage, when he rented for a year, then farmed his 
father's place for seven years, then bought the farm owned 
by his mother's father, Amos Tomlinson.  On December 23, 
1875, he married Josephine, daughter of John R. Bitting, of 
Doylestown.  She was born August 22, 1853.  They have had 
five children: Willie, Mamie, George and Wesley, living; and 
John, who died in infancy.  Mr. Paxson is an active, 
enterprising man, who believes in doing thoroughly whatever 
he undertakes.
