I descend from an older half-brother of Carrie's ancestor, Charity (MAXWELL) GUY, and have spent the past two decades tracing all known descendants of Thomas MAXWELL, late of Bedford Co, TN, who is believed to have been a GF of Charity. Thomas left at least 7 heirs, each of whom married at least once and had children. Beginning with Thomas, I have a listing covering up to 11 generations of MAXWELL family members. The individuals you named do not appear in my list. Of Thomas' heirs, five moved to Southern IL and two remained in Bedford Co, TN. I am not aware of any links to Blount or Lincoln Counties, but anything is possible.
