There is a Paxton Family Book which I found some years ago at the LDS center in Richmond, VA. It gave her parents as John Paxton, 1716, Ireland to 13 Feb 1787, Rockbridge Co., (same dates as Rockbridge Cemetery records), and Mary (Martha) Blair, 1726-1821. No information on Mary/Martha's parents. I have John Paxton's parents as John Paxton (dates, etc., unknown) and Elizabeth Alexander (5 Oct 1694 Ireland - 1756). I didn't write the source for that, but probably the Paxton book. I don't know if that's any help.
