can you believe it? The United States Government has designated an archaelogical research site with the Axsom name in it!
The name "Axsom Branch" refers to a creek in southwestern Brown County, Indiana. The Axsom Branch currently flows northward and empties into Lake Monroe. Before Lake Monroe existed, Axsom Branch emptied into Salt Creek. William David Axsom's family farm was near Axsom Branch. Several other Axsom families in Samuel David Axsom's clan had homes in the valley that cradled Axsom Branch.
