I'm researching Robert and Sarah Maxwell (parents of Jacob Neasley Maxwell). My dad has dug up an interesting fact that I thought I would share. Robert Maxwwell attended a function at Sugar Grove Methodist Church in Columbiana Co. or Jefferson Co. Ohio around 1800 along with a man by the name of Jacob Nessley. It appears that he then named his son after the man.
I am searching for any information on Robert's parents. The best we have is that his father may have also been named Robert and that his mother's maiden name may have been Wilson, but I have no idea what the source is for this information.

From Bartle on they were Buried in the new St. Fechin's Incidentally do you have a Margaret Maxwell in your family line. The william In mine is a Brother of My G.

Re: Maxwells of County Westmeath, Ireland

RoyJosephmaxwell72 — 2013-04-28 22:04:54Z

Shawn, I have a William Maxwell in my Family line. He was born at Fore, Co. Westmeath in November 1840. R.C. Christening at St. Fechin's Church, Fore, Parish of Collinstown, on 17th November 1840 - Register: C - Page 337 - Witnesses: James Dermody & Rose Fitzsimons. His Father as far as I can ascertain was an Edward Maxwell who Married on 27th January 1839 & Died at Ben, Fore West, in 1875.William's Grandfather was also Edward Maxwell who Died on 18th December 1844 at Fore West. I think perhaps his Great Grandfather was Cormack Maxwell who Died at Fore West, on April 16th 1797 and was Buried at St. Fechin's Cemetery on 18th April 1797 with the oldest Record I have of a Rose Maxwell who Died on 10th October 1796 and Buried in St. Fechin's Old Churchyard, Fore on 12th October 1796.
I have actual Records. I sincerely hope that this information may be of interest to you in assisting you to sort your family line. I have downloaded tonight The Census of Ireland Records for the Maxwell Family at Emper / Empor and there is a William Maxwell as head of Family and his Declared Age falls in line with the William Maxwell in My family Line. If I can assist further, do not hesitate to e.mail me. Good Luck with your endeavours and May your God go with you. Roy Joseph Maxwell

Would not be 1st cousins. My grandfather was Ales. I remember Marvin from family reunions back in the 60's. Will have to go back and see what our relationship is. I have somewhat of a family tree hidden someplace.

Have not found anything on Caswell Sr. May do some investigation in Tennessee/Kentucky to see if I can find county records that may tell more.

Hi my name is Jennifer Hegedus (nee Maxwell). I have just started looking into my family tree and i came across your blog of 2004. Not sure if you are still doing this but my father is Allen Maxwell and he was the 8th child of william Donald Maxwell and Lillian kathleen Stapleton. William Maxwell from what I can work out was the son of George Maxwell and Agnes Mcintyre? i am getting a bit confused at the moment but I think I am going to become hooked on this. Reason I started is we are having a Maxwell reunion in Orange on 30th Aug - 1st Sept 2013 and I wanted to find as many relos or descendents I could find. anyway it seems to me you know what you are talking about if you have time would love to hear from you - jenny hegedus I have started my family tree under Hegedus family tree not sure if it is private or public.

Anna Maxwell (1770's - 1866), Westfield - Plainfield NJ

PJ5289 — 2013-03-17 17:31:09Z

I am trying to find any families who may be connected to my 4xGr-grandmother Anna MAXWELL (maiden name unknown) who was born in 1772-1775 and who died in Plainfield, NJ in July 1866, age 94. I do not know her husband's name.
In the 1830 Census Anna MAXWELL is between 50-60 years old, living in Westfield, NJ with one unnamed male between 20-30 years of age.
In the 1850 Census she is living with some of her children in Plainfield.
Her daughter was Elsie MAXWELL (born c. 1801 - died Nov. 26, 1880 in Plainfield NJ).
Elsie Maxwell was married to Alex HAMMEAL. Their children are:
William HAMMEAL (born c. 1830) who married Bridget TULLY
Clarkson HAMMEAL (born c. 1837) who married Jane SCHENCK
Mary Jane HAMMEAL (born c. 1821) who married Jacob HOAGLAND.

William HAMMEAL later lived in Brooklyn, NY and I am descended from that line.

The name HAMMEAL later became, in some instances, HAMMELL, HAMMEL, etc.
The first name CLARKSON was carried through several generations and I am wondering if it could be a family name, so there could be a connection to a CLARKSON family.
I have come across several possibilities but nothing that connects definitely with any other MAXWELL family.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks. -PJ

Not sure about any of those. As for Major Robert Anderson, there is plenty published on him. Look at Fold3, they might have the civil war info.

Have you tried contacting the person who posted that those documents were associated with Patrick and James Anderson? It looks like the phone number on their home page is still good.

Documentation of James Maxwell and Ann Cunningham and their children in the United States

14 Aug 1766-Kent County Delaware. Deed. William Killen of the town of Dover Kent Co atty at law for 37 pds 10 shillings sold to James Maxwell of Murtherkill Hund same co weaver … a lot of land in Murtherkill Hund pt/o a larger tr called Brothers Portion (same as above)… beginning e side of Kings Road and lot late purch by James Morton to lot purch by John Pryor…5 a. Wit: Saml McCall, James Morton.

James Maxwell sold the lot back to William Killen on 23 Oct 1766. William Killen on the same day sold it to John Pryor (one of the people listed on the estate accounts of Michael McGear).

History of Delaware : 1609-1888: Local history By John Thomas Scharf – pg 1049
the following are listed as purchasing these lots
James Maxwell, weaver 37 pds 10 shillings, Samuel McCall 150 pds; John Pryor 75 pds, James Morton, taylor, 37 pds 10 shillings, George Goforth cordwainer, 37 pds 10 shillings, Matthew Boggs carpenter of Little Crk Hd 37 pds 10 shillings, Casar Rodney, 75 pds, James Wells, innkeeper, 37 pds 10 shillings, Richard & Andrew Butler, 45 pds 18 shillings, 9 pence – see google books

James Morton was on the bond for the administration of Michael McGear, purchased one of the 5 acre lots in Dover and witnessed the purchase of the above lot of James Maxwell.
James Morton was a tailor born in Ireland
George Goforth (another purchaser of these lots) was also listed in Michael McGear’s administration records
James Wells (purchased a lot), Henry Wells , and Richard Wells are all listed on the administration records of Michael McGear. James Wells appraised the estate of Michael McGear and is listed in the estate accounts of Hugh McGear

The purpose of the above information is to establish the link between James Maxwell and Michael McGear, who are the husbands of Ann Cunningham Maxwell and Martha Cunningham McGear and maybe the names jointly listed in the estate papers of Michael together and the land purchase papers of James Maxwell may provide hints and possibly they are all from Ireland. I could not trace the McGear’s before their first land purchase in Delaware

1. 8 Nov 1766 (approximately 2 weeks after selling Delaware land) – James Maxwell is found in Uwchlan, Chester County Pennsylvania where he purchases various types of cloth from Cadwalader Jones (accounts of Cadwalader Jones – CCHS). Cadwalader Jones lived in Uwchlan, Chester County, Pennsylvania and was a storekeeper (The towns of Uwchlan, Pikeland and West Whiteland all join together in one corner and the areas listed in these records for these towns are all fairly close)

2. 1766 – James Maxwell is listed as an inmate (married, no land owned) in Uwchlan on tax records (PA archives, Series 3, Vol XI, pg 358 - Transcript of the Tenth Eighteenth Pence Rate for the County of Chester)

3. 1768, James Maxwell in Uwchlan, Chester County – Pennsylvania tax and exoneration records

4. 20 Apr 1772 letter at Post Office for James Maxwell of Yellow Springs (Pennsylvania Packet- (Yellow Springs is area of Pikeland/Uwchlan in Chester County Pennsylvania)

5. 1783 Chester County Pennsylvania tax rolls, Ann Maxwell of Pikeland is listed (this is Ann Cunningham Maxwell – and since she is listed and not her husband, it is presumed that he is deceased but that may be an incorrect assumption).
6. 19 Jun 1786 Ann Maxwell makes a purchase from Cadwalader Jones (accounts of Cadwalader Jones – Chester County Historical Society); 8 Dec 1786 she purchases 102 pds pork and lether for cover Henrys shoes

7. 23 May 1788 Ann Maxwell “widow” makes a purchase from Cadwalader Jones. Ann, Eleanor (Nellie), Hannah, Henry, and James are all mentioned at least once in the accounts of Cadwalader Jones. Ann, Eleanor and Hannah have multiple listings. A Jonathan Phipps, picks up salt in town for Cadwalader; Mary and Molly Phipps (nickname for Mary) are listed several times. These accounts cover several years.

8. Widow Maxfield listed in 1790 census in Pikeland Chester County Pennsylvania with 2 boys under age 16 and 2 females

9. Ann Maxfield on 30th 1st month 1790 is one of the signers of the Pikeland Company agreement to purchase 2 ackers and seven barges barence 7 and 6 pence. She signed as “widow macfild”. The company agreement was that the undersigned would put one-fifth down and pay in 5 yearly installments

10. 31 Oct 1791 Mary Phipps is named as wife of Jonathan Phipps in a land deed involving the estate of his father Joseph Phipps. Also listed are Jonathan Phipps siblings and their spouses. (Of note, there is another Jonathan Phipps with wife Mary (Keely) who lived in Uwchlan at the same time period. That Jonathan died in 1799 and was the son of John Phipps and Sarah Clayton).

11. 24 Sep 1792 Ann Maxwell finalizes purchase agreed to in Pikeland Company Agreement for seven pounds for land in Pikeland

12. 1793 Eleanor Maxwell is named in will of Thomas Lightfoot of Pikeland, Chester County, as the caretaker of his children. She is paid 10 pds to help determine which pieces of furniture should be kept and which to be sold (FHL PA Probates Wills 1774-1797 vol 8-9, H-I)

13. 11 October 1798 Eleanor Maxwell married Daniel Kenny at Uwchlan Monthly Meeting:

Whereas Daniel Kenny of Charleston township, Chester County and State of Pennsylvania, Son of Daniel Kenny and Phebe, his Wife of the same place and Eleanor Maxwell of Pikeland Township, County and State aforesaid, daughter of James Maxwell and Ann Maxwell, the former deceased of the same place, having declared their intentions of marriage with each other before several Monthly Meetings of the people called Quakers at Uwchlan in the County aforesaid…

Betty Kenny Daniel Kenny
Mary Kenny Ann Maxwell

Elizabeth Roberts Ann Baldwin Richard Kenny
Elizabeth Kersey Jesse Jones Lydia Lewis
Mary Lighfoot Mary Jones Elizabeth Jacobs
Sarah Lightfoot William Milhous William Trimble

Henry Lanbaugh Isaac Bonsall Mary Lightfoot
David Lightfoot Samuel Lightfoot

14. 10 Aug 1799 Ann Maxwell sells her 2 acres and 9 perches in Pikeland to Mathias Fox for 50 pounds. Her son-in-law Daniel Kenny witnessed the transaction.
This is the last record for Ann Maxwell

15. Her children Mary who married Jonathan Phipps, Eleanor who married Daniel Kenny, Hannah who married Hiram Rigg, Henry who married Magdalena Whistler, James who married Tamson Quaintance are all fairly well documented. Son John has not been identified, but he was named in one other record as a sibling of the above. George has not been found. Mary and Jonathan Phipps are found in the 1810 census in London Grove, Chester County and Jonathan operated the Chatham Inn Tavern (Chester County Archive Tavern petitions).

I am looking for more info on my line.

Robert Maxwell (born 1807 in Pa)
married Catherine Lower ( born 1814).

In 1850 they lived in Tyrone,PA

their children are:

Mary Maxwell married to Ezra Brisbin,

Martin Maxwell,

George Maxwell - died during the Civil War,

Ann Maxwell married to George Lamb,

Jane Maxwell,

Katherine Maxwell married to James Epright.

Robert and Catherine were suppose to have left Tyrone,PA and gone out west. This info is listed in Ezra Brisbin's obit: Mary Maxwell, daughter of Robert Maxwell, one of Tyrone's early citizens, who with his family in later years removed to the west.

I am trying to find where Robert and Catherine Maxwell moved to out west and any other info on them.

Old Photo of Ora Maxwell - Iowa

RandallMcDaniel44 — 2013-02-18 03:04:56Z

I recently purchased a bunch of old photos. One of the photos shows a young girl. On the back is written "Miss Ora Maxwell". The photo was taken at a photo studio in Fairfield, Iowa, likely around 1880. Attached is a copy of the photo.

If this is one of your ancestors, please contact me.
