For some time now I have been researching my husband's Maxwell line and have traced his great grandfather to Lieutenant Stewart Maxwell who married Agnes Ewing at Dumbarton in 1789. We think Stewart's parents may have been William Maxwell and Margaret McLeod who married in Dumbarton in 1762/3. There is a son William born to this couple but no record of any other children. Are any subscribers to this list researching Maxwells in this area and do they know anything of the other Maxwell families listed in the parish registers? Perhaps the James Maxwell who married Jean Guthrie in 1838 may be related to Stewart or the Alexander Maxwell who married Catherine Brown. Dows anyone know the interrlationahipe between the Maxwell in Dumbarton in the 1600s-1700s? Also have been wondering why there is an elephant on the old Dumbarton coat of arms....does anyone know?
