A professional researcher in Montgomery Co., Ohio and I have been trying
> to connect the famous printer WILLIAM MAXWELL(prob. b. ca 1755) of Ohio to my line of Thomas MAXWELL(1736-1785 East Nottingham Twp., Chester Co., Pa.married ANN BLACKMAR[SEE PASTED BELOW]...
> with son HENRY MAXWELL(1774-1856 Carroll co., Indiana)...the interesting
> thing is not only the simliar naming patterns but that there was a MOSES MAXWELL(of Cincinnati) and SOLOMON MAXWELL(of Christaina Bridge[now New Castle?], Delaware) noted
> in William's will that William's estate owed Solomon money for cloth
> material...that is why I am looking to connect any Solomon or Moses Maxwells
> to either of these lines!!!!
>
> I find mention of a(same?) MOSES MAXWELL will in Balto/Harford Co., Md..ca
> 1805. Who is this??
>
> Does anyone know anything about SOLOMON MAXWELL d. 1770 IN ?VA/TN? wife Abigail and(#1) Jemima
> Roberts?? poss. Va...prob father of Thomas Maxwell...(1755-1832) of Bedford
> Co., Tn .......
> ************Do these connect to other known MAXWELL lines? ie. was Solomon the father...who were other siblings??
>
Because I have exhausted the Maxwells of Chester Co., Pa...I am beginning to
> look in neighboring Cecil Co.[****especially Rising Sun area****]/Kent Co.,Md. and Delaware for a family connection..
>
> FYI...there is a 8 year gap in my Thomas's[see below] 2 eldest children..therefore I belive there are 2-4 unknown children here that could link this line to other known Maxwell lines??? ...maybe these missing children are the "link" I need !!!!!
