Cassandra was the eldest daughter of Joseph Paxton and Margaret Barclay of the Valley of Virginia. Joseph Paxton was born About 1759 and died About 1794. Through these two lines our family has a wide connection among whom are the Houstons, Grandma Moore being a double first cousin of Gen. Sam Houston, the Steeles, Moffitts, Edmonsons, Ruffs, and others of Va.
Often cousin Sam Houston stayed at her home on his way from Texas to Washington City.
It is understood in our family and supported by church records too, that Dr. Moore and wife on reaching Dandridge, Tennessee in 1802, from their Virginia home brought or afterward, obtained church letter from their home church, The Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church, a noted old landmark of Rockbridge County, Virginia, where many of our connection have before and since that date, been honored members. On these letters they were received into membership of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church here in Dandridge, as were their two daughters, Mary Jane Wilkes and Hannah. Their son-in-law, Robert Henry Hynds, became a member of this same church, also, and they all remained earnest and faithful members there for several years.
