Murphy" <donn1em@bellsouth.net> wrote: I wasnt asked to do this, but Tim Jones contributed one of the copies of the Hobbs Chapel Burial Ground listings, and in return, Id like to see if we could assist with one of his brick walls. This may have already been discussed on the list, but its worth another check or two of our individual records. I have been hunting for years for info on JAMES MAXWELL, Jr. & Sr. James Jr. died in 1847 and was married (1840) to Mary Ann Beckwith Maxwell. I have no idea where he was buried though, or who his mother was, or where his father hailed from. They ran a bookstore in Louisville. Any kind soul want to take a stab at this one?
