The loss of records through acts of war and negligence has rendered it impossible to fully document

the nine generations after the earliest known member of the family, old Israel Baxter(c1690-1769)

appeared in Craven County, N.C., by 1743. Old Israel Baxter(c1690-1769) evidently lived in the western

part of the county which was cut into Johnston County when Johnston County was formed in 1746,

because his son Theophilus appears as a private on the muster roll of Capt. Simon Herring's company

of Col. Lewis Henry DeRosset's regiment of foot soldiers of Johnston County, dated October 5, 1755.

This was at the time of King George's War and the regiment was raised to curtail activities along the

North Carolina coast. In March of 1743, Old Israel Baxter(c1690-1769) appeared before the court at New

Bern to answer a charge brought against him by one Robert Fitz-Randolph.  He lost his case when the

jury awarded the Plaintiff L44 and costs.  At the next term of court held in June, he faced a more

serious charge brought in behalf of King George ll against him and again he lost.  He moved to the

adjoining county of Pitt and there made a deed of gift to his children Stephen, Sarah, David,

Theophilus, and Rebecca in 1763, and the next year he gave most of the remainder of his personal

property to them. Old Israel Baxter(c1690-1769) eldest son Israel was not named in either of the deeds,

he having already "quit the nest"some six or more years earlier and settled on the Peedee river in

present Marlboro County, S.C. Rebecca,( daughter of Old Israel Baxter 1690-1769)the youngest, was not

named in the second deed.  After Dobbs County was formed from Johnston, Theophilus(son of Old

Israel Baxter c1690-1769)  acquired over 600 acres of land on Falling Creek, about ten miles west of

present Kingston, Lenoir County.
