THACKSTON, THAXTON, THICKSTON, THIXTON posted by Scott Hudson on Thursday, February 11, 1999

John THAXTON was an early settler in Warren County, TN circa 1808. John THIXTON is recorded as having served with George Rogers Clark in Oct., 1782 with the Jefferson County, KY (VA) militia. Confusion is that a John Thaxton is also listed in Wilkes County, NC census for 1790 and 1800, while John Thixton is named in 1790 census. A Dec 3, 1783 order by an "Act of the Assembly" passed "May last to 400 acres of land each" included John Thixton - but where was this land? This statement came from Jefferson County Kentucky Records Volume I. George Rogers Clark grants were generally in Indiana. Could it have been in NC? And why were 400 acres granted? This is more than usually granted; even for the soldiers involved in the Vincennes campaign, 100 or 200 were about all alloted, the 200 reserved for officers.
