Michael,

This is going to be short. I just came across your query on RootsWeb website for Story County, Iowa. I am a great-grandson of George McCann Maxwell. My grandmother was Fannie Sweet (Maxwell) Carman, a younger sister of your great-grandmother, Mary (Maxwell) Baldwin. I have been researching the family for many years and have much information. George and his three wives had a total of twenty-two children. I have Bible records for the births of nineteen of them. I would love to exchange information with you. Yes, there are many Maxwell descendants around alive and well! Below is a three-generation descendant outline to whet your appetite.
