Mary Louisa Ellis was the daughter of Robert T. Ellis and Mary Pratt Bowen. She married Alexander McNutt Paxton on 10 Jul 1837 in Fredericksburg, VA (The Paxtons: Their Origin in Scotland, and Their Migrations Through England ..., by Wm McClung Paxton, 1903, plus posted on Rootsweb 7 Sep 2012 by kin to Mary Virginia Virgie Green her grandmother).

On the 1850 Vicksburg, Warren Co., MS census, I found lawyer A M Paxton, 36, with $10K in real estate; MARY L, 31; William G, 12; Robert E, 6; Charles B, 4; McNutt, 2; Louisa, 13 and Elizabeth, 7. The parents were VA born and the children were MS born.
