Don: As I've noted in the past, we know the descendents of Henry and Agness (Carson) Maxwell. None ended up in NC. It is true that several of Agness Carson Maxwell's sibblings were in NC and SC, specifically two known sons of Walter and Agness Carson, John and William, plus a presumed son Walter who married Mary Carson, daughter of Samuel Carson m. Jane Patterson living in Chester Ct. PA. Samuel Carson was a blood relative of Walter Carson (we have letter) but it is unknown whether brothers or cousins. Samuel Carson was in Chester Ct. PA 1725 and Walter documented by 1729. All three sons were in NC/SC by 1780, Walter earlier than that. As far as Maxwells, most children of Robert Maxwell (died 1752 if memory serves) m. Catherine (who married second Porterfield) moved to NC by 1770 if memory serves. Henry Maxwell was a witness to the will of Robert Maxwell (who died in Lancaster Ct. PA). It is my THEORY ONLY that Henry and Robert were related. Robert was born 1716 if memory serves and Henry was born between 1724 and 1732 (documented). They could have been brothers or uncle/nephew. They could have come to the US together in the 1740s. All the Lancaster records 1740-1750 of significance are no longer available, so there's nothing that will ever be available to prove their relationship. The interesting thing is that Henry and Robert used virtually the same names for their children, which might support their being brothers moreso than uncle/nephew. Never has been anything to link Henry with Nathaniel. Josette Maxwell Boone NC
