ALEXANDER EDWIN "ALEX" BLOXTON,
whose mother, Lucy Clift Bloxton died on May 27, 1846, at age 42, in Stafford County of a hemorrhage two months after he was born on Mar 27, 1846, appears to have been raised, from at least the age of four but more likely from infancy, by his maternal aunt and uncle, ARBA RANDOLPH #15124309 & FRANCES REBECCA "BECKIE" (ELKINS) PACKARD #15133334 at GLENMORE FARM (featured in a book by the same name), Falmouth, Stafford County, VA.
" Mr. A.R. Packard, one of the oldest, and a prominent and highly respected citizen of Stafford County, died Tuesday evening at his home near New Hope Church after a long illness of rheumatism, being confined to his bed for six years, at age 83 years. Funeral services were held from New Hope Church on Thursday morning at 11 o'clock, Rev. C.L. Potter officiated." --Baltimore Sun & The Free Lance (Fredericksburg VA - Aug 28, 1902)
"Mr. Packard was a native of Massachusetts, but came here in 1839. He is survived by two sisters, one living in Nebraska and the other in Massachusetts. Mr. Packard was a consistent Christian and a lifelong Democrat. " (The Daily Star - Fredericksburg VA - Aug 27, 1902)

Arba Packard's wife, Rebecca Frances "Beckie" (Elkins) Packard (daughter of Lucy Clift Bloxton's uncle Benjamin & Fanny B. Elkins), was aunt to Louisa Jane "Lou" Bloxton Sanford #115679525. She is also listed as the aunt of Alexander Edwin Bloxton (in the book, "Glenmore Farm"), but "Beckie" would have been his cousin, not his aunt. Alex, 12, had been living with Beckie & Arba for 12 years when Lou Bloxton is claimed to have come to live with them at age 9, when her mother, still living for many more years, is claimed to have died, so they would have lived at the same Glenmore Farm together for at least a year or two, but Lou was not on the 1860 Census with them, as was Alex at age 14.
On April 15, 1885, Lou Bloxton's husband, Don A. Sanford, wrote that he visited Glenmore Farm where he saw the Packards and Alex Bloxton with his oldest daughter, Estelle Bloxton, who would have been age 16 on that date, turning 17 in five months. Sallie Newton, who lived and worked for the Packards until her death, was also there that day (Sallie is referred to by Arba Packard as his adopted daughter in his will where he left her a home near Glenmore Farm, $12/year for life, etc.; but listed as "Domestic Slave", age 20, on 1870 Census).
Glenmore Farm was left to Louisa Bloxton Sanford by Arba & Beckie Packard.
August 4, 1917, Washington, D.C., Lou wrote that "Alex Bloxton came at lunchtime."
[They were cousins.] On August 21, 1917, she wrote that "Albert Bloxton came..." [Alex' brother]

Arba Packard's wife, Rebecca Frances "Beckie" (Elkins) Packard (daughter of Lucy Clift Bloxton's uncle Benjamin & Fanny B. Elkins), was aunt to Louisa Jane "Lou" Bloxton Sanford #115679525. She is also listed as the aunt of Alexander Edwin Bloxton (in the book, "Glenmore Farm"), but "Beckie" would have been his cousin, not his aunt. Alex, 12, had been living with Beckie & Arba for 12 years when Lou Bloxton is claimed to have come to live with them at age 9, when her mother, still living for many more years, is claimed to have died, so they would have lived at the same Glenmore Farm together for at least a year or two, but Lou was not on the 1860 Census with them, as was Alex at age 14.
On April 15, 1885, Lou Bloxton's husband, Don A. Sanford, wrote that he visited Glenmore Farm where he saw the Packards and Alex Bloxton with his oldest daughter, Estelle Bloxton, who would have been age 16 on that date, turning 17 in five months. Sallie Newton, who lived and worked for the Packards until her death, was also there that day (Sallie is referred to by Arba Packard as his adopted daughter in his will where he left her a home near Glenmore Farm, $12/year for life, etc.; but listed as "Domestic Slave", age 20, on 1870 Census).
Glenmore Farm was left to Louisa Bloxton Sanford by Arba & Beckie Packard.
August 4, 1917, Washington, D.C., Lou wrote that "Alex Bloxton came at lunchtime."
[They were cousins.] On August 21, 1917, she wrote that "Albert Bloxton came..." [Alex' brother]
