Children of Jasper⁵ and Martha (Keyser) Saxton:

   6. FREDERICK⁴ SEXTON [or SAXTON] (James^3-2 George¹) was born at Sheffield, Massachusetts, May 22, 1748. He married Rhoda Messenger, born Feb. 27, 1750, daughter of Nehemiah Messenger. Before the American Revolution he settled in what is now Chittenden County, Vermont, but after Montgomery's defeat at Quebec in 1775-6, the settlement was abandoned. ^(d) Frederick Saxton had already returned to Sheffield, from which town he served in various enlistments as a sergeant. ^(b) By 1783 he had returned to Vermont and had settled at Burlington, where he was known as Colonel Saxton. ^(e) In 1787, 1788, and 1789 he was elected selectman and in 1790 he was on the committee to divide the town into school districts. The first jury trial in Chittenden County, John Collins vs. Frederick Saxton, was decided against him. ^(f) In 1790 he removed to Shelburne, Vermont. On April 28, 1796, Colonel Saxton with three others, started across Lake Champlain in a log canoe. It is said that he was taking a load of grain to mill. When about a mile from shore the canoe sank and the bodies were never recovered.^(g) His widow Rhoda died March 5, 1813.

For a time they lived at Rensselaerville, Albany County, New York, and during the Revolution he served in the Albany County Militia. In 1793 Alanson Saxton with two others organized a Presbyterian church in a log house at what is known as Mount Pisgah.⁽ⁱ⁾ This was the first church organization in the town of Rensselaerville.

(j) The data marked (j), published Dec. 11, 1929, in the Saint Johnsville, New York, Enterprise and News, and contributed by Mrs. John H. Waggoner, Buffalo, N. Y., were brought to the attention of the compiler after this number of the Record had gone to press, and as they furnish the death dates of Alanson and Susannah (Doty) Saxton, and more complete information as to the names of their children and dates of their birth, we gladly give them subject to future verification.

  9. WILLIAM⁵ SAXTON (James^{4-3 2} George¹) was born at Sheffield, Massachusetts, December 25, 1755. In May, 1778 he married Mary Betts, born at Norwalk, Connecticut, October 16, 1756, daughter of David and Mary (Raymond) Betts. Before his marriage he had served in the Revolution in various enlistments. ^(m) When he enlisted in 1871 his wife and baby went home and lived with her father until the War was over. According to his enlistment papers he was then 25 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches in height, with black hair and dark complexion. ^(m) He died, March 12, 1832, at Westville, Middlefield Township, Otsego County, New York.

  JAMES⁵ SAXTON (James^4-3-2 George¹) was born, November 26, 1758, at Sheffield, Massachusetts. He married Huldah -----, June 12, 1780. She seems to have been a member of a New York family that lived along the Hudson River. This was undoubtedly the James Saxton family living at Hillsdale, New York in 1790. By 1806 they were living at Butternuts [now Gilbertsville], Otsego County, New York,

  Dodson. Mary, daughter of John Dodson, born Aug. 1, 1779, married ----- Cassidy. Elizabeth, another daughter of John Dodson, born Oct. 8, 1786, married Henry Bridenthal. A history of Freedom Township, [now in Blair Co.,] Pa. says that the Dodson family settled there in 1800. The above Henry Bridenthal lived in Blair Co., but nothing is known of the Cassidy family. Mary Dodson may have married Cassidy before the Dodson family moved to Freedom Township. Has anyone records of this Dodson family? Can anyone furnish information regarding the Cassidy family into which Mary Dodson married?

Banks makes the notation that they probably died young. The father removed to Norridgewock, Maine. No doubt the whole family went to that locality.
