• Note: 11 November 1803; Kingston, Frontenac Co., Upper Canada; "Point Frederick, Kingston, 11th Nov. 1803: Sir.: Lieut. Paxton eldest son wishing to be a ship carpenter and live as an apprentice under W. Dennis the Master Builder who is inclined to take him promised that His Excellency General Hunter will ?grant? his some thrifty pay. Lieut. Paxton prays the Generals consideration therein, on the principle of his ?Paxton? being an old servant with a numerous family of children. I have the Honor to be Sir, Your Very Obedient Humble Servant, J. W. Steel; Major Green. Military Secretary" (Letter from J. W. Steel, Commander at Kingston, to Lieut. Gov. Peter Hunter, asking if Captain Paxton's son might be considered for an apprenticeship with William Dennis, the premier ship builder at York, copied from the British Military Records, Library and Archives of Canada, Series C, Vol. 726, pg. 102.)
  Note: All my info shows John Paxton to be the eldest son of Lieut. Thomas Paxton and at this time was 12 years old. This might seem young for an apprenticeship but the British Navy took boys this young as a matter of tradition and need. In this case, it does not seem to have been approved.

Just weeks before the River Raisin massacre he came home and helped bury the dead. Then he headed south to hook up with General Lewis's troops who were marching toward the River Raisin. He was captured again and later escaped; helping ferryboats loaded with U.S. troops around Lake Erie near Sandusky, Ohio." http://www.co.monroe.mi.us/sheriff/Past_Sheriffs_1_.pdf
