There is a record of an Alexander (Maxie) Maxwell coming in 1650, as a prisoner from the Battle of Dunbar. However, that Alexander Maxwell settled in York. This one lived in Wenham, MA and married Marah Mary Abbe. Parents of David Maxwell b.1662. Does anyone know when Alexander came to Massachusetts?

I am researching the Maxwell line of David B:1662, Gershom B: 1692, John B: 1722, Sanuel B: 1760, Joshua B: 1785, David B: 1816, Frank Rollins B: 1863, Donald Sr. B: 1901, Donald Jr. B: 1939. I don't understand about Alexander Maxwell that was deported after the Battle of Dunbar and the one named Alexander Maxie in Wenham that married Marah Abbe that keep getting put together in ancestry.com. If you have anything that would enlighten me. did both men have a son named David in 1662. I feel certain that the line I listed above it correct to David but am stumped with confusion there. Please anyone that can help contact me.
