The Paxton Surname, Part 2

In the previous discussion, we took a look at where the Paxtons came from, as far back as the 1200's, and where the name came from.

In a separate line, as previously discussed, we have a Hew Paxton, b 1675 in Abbotshall, Fife, Scotland.  His father was also Hew Paxton, but his father was Williame Paistoun, from Inveresk, Midlothian, Scotland.  Williame's father was Samuell Paistone.

So we see a evolution of the surname from Paistone to Paxton.  Certainly this is not the only case of an evolution of the Paxton surname.  It would be interesting to know if other Paxton lines had similar transformations, if they had similar origins, and even if these lines ever cross, or if there are multiple families that come upon the surname Paxton.  Hopefully we'll be able to shed some light on this with some lines.
