He came from Pennsylvania about 1747, and settled on North River (VA) at the mouth of Buffalo Creek. Hence he was distinguished from his cousins, of the same name as "Buffalo Thomas Paxton". He kept a boatyard, and had Flour and Saw Mills. He was also a thrifty farmer, and acquired wealth and influence. Presbyterian in faith, he was an Elder in the old Falling Spring Church, and there, his dust reposes. His epitaph is but his names and dates. "Here lies the interred body of Thomas Paxton, who departed this life Sept 27, 1788, aged 69 years". His first wife lies at his side. Her epitaph reads "Here lieth the body of Elizabeth Paxton, who departed this life March 3, 1773, her age being 49 years."
