Beth, The Y chromosome DNA is passed father to son generation after generation UNCHANGED...therefore you only need a living male MAXWELL (LMM) to obtain DNA from..... You could dig someone up but can you imagine...uhhhh... Look at the explanations and FAQs at the MAXWELL DNA study page: http://hometown.aol.com/dnamaxwell/myhomepage/index.html Don ############## How would you get the testing done if someone has been dead since the 1700's? Wouldn't you have to find where they are buried and get permission to dig them up and then how would you go about gtting sample to getg tested and what would you need to get and where would youi take it?

Good Afternoon, I am out of the hospital for a while and do not have access to all of my records so will send this. I obtain some of this information from Jim Stout jimstout@earthlink.net John Maxwell and Ann, his wife children are mentioned in "The earlyi settlers of Passaic Valley" by John Littell. Sdome of this Maxwell line is also in the history of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties of New Yersey by Sneel, 1881 p. 00 John Maxwell, brother of Gen. William Maxwell was the son of John Maxwell and wife Anne from North of Ireland, who was a disenter - Scotch Prebyterian. He settled in what is now Warren C., near the Hunterdon line. John settled in Raritan Twp. and married at an ealy day to Elizabeth Kirpatrick (She had been married before and I believe that I do have her maiden name somewhere. abc.) His sons John, George C. and William were prominent citizens there. The former was a merchant and also owned the mills now known as Rockafellow's. He died prior to . George C. and William were both prominent lawyers, the first named died before 1822 the latter died @ 8. Jjohn's epitaph (in part) - John Maxwell, Esq., second son of John and Anne Maxwell, born in County of Tyrone, Ireland, Nov. 25, 739. He was a Lt. in the first company raised in Suissex Co. He joined Washington' s Army of a company of volunteers and fought in several battles. John died at Flemington on Feb. 15, 1828 in his 89th year. I should be able to be back at my sons in @ two weeks and if you will remind me, I will see what else I may find in my records at that time.

Many thanks for your gracious offer. My grandfather, James MAXWELL, born ca 1852, is listed in the 1900 census in McIntosh, Washington Co., Al. with his family: Bertha V. KELLY Maxwell Son, James Albert MAXWELL, b 10 July 1892, d. 5 June 1922 Twins, Ola and Ila, b. 6 Jan 1897 James MAXWELL died, date unknown but probably prior to 1910, in either a hunting or a train accident. (He was a clerk/accountant with a railroad, name unknown.) His widow, Bertha, remarried to Jesse B. WALLACE and moved to Perry Co., Ms. with the twin girls. (I have no record of the son's movements, but he married (Ruth, maiden name unknown), had a son James (Jr.?) but I cannot find them in census records. I have been unable to find a James MAXWELL in Washington Co. census records, and am not familiar with the surrounding counties. There's an intriguing clue with a James MAXWELL listed in the 1880 census at Mount Vernon, Mobile, Al., age 26 (which would place his birthdate about 1854). The census lists: Occ: Musician Co. G. U.S.A. Fa: NJ Mo: NJ. (This could mean he was in the army stationed around Mobile and met my grandmother Bertha living in nearby Washington Co. but this may be too much of a stretch.) Sandy Gifford has given me a two and a half page list of James MAXWELLs born 1847 thru 1857 and I haven't had a chance to narrow down any of them but plan to do so. Again, many thanks for your offer.

Larry, You are right on...DNA certainly disavowes those who you "think they probably know the father of X"...when the DNA is a mismatch they are not related. Alternatively, we are trying to match previously "unknown to be related families", as your example depicts. With a 25/25 match there is a 50% chance the 2 donors have a MCRA (most common recent ancestor) by 7-8 generations (this is about the time frame, about 200 yrs ago for which I am searching for "close family" to my Thomas Maxwell 1738-1785). It doesnt prove exact relationships....not yet but prob will in 2 years or so as more loci are identified and become avaiable to test for? This is why people should sponsor upgrades within their families from current donors by ordering the upgrade from the 12 marker tests to the 25 marker tests...or in your case to supply another sample from your Rev Thomas line to verify your clan's DNA profile (to avoid non-paternity issues [2-5% per generation], adoption, change of surnames etc). We will be posting all the matches as they come in. Right now we have 3 matches on 12/12 ("screening") loci test: My line Thomas 1738-1785 m. Ann Blackmar and William m. Eliz McCutheon of Ky and William b. 1767 (the famous Ohio Printer). We are anxiously awaiting the results of the 25 ("refined or high resolution")loci test. If they match 25/25 there is a 99.9 % chance they share a common Maxwell ancestor and 50% of a MCRA at 7.5 generations from the donors. Hope this helps!

Don: I've a question to ask, Lets say John Maxwell born 1700 moved to Ohio and started his Maxwell Line, Now he had a brother say James Maxwell born 1705 moved to Georgia, The DNA only tells us their related in some way or the other, This will give additional names and data to build upon, correct, I know it will not tell that they were brothers, just related someway correct. My only interest is that I'm from Rev. Thomas Maxwell and Mary Pemberton. Rev. Thomas has a brother named John, which there is no record of after birth, If my DNA matches another line of Maxwells that does not show a paper connection to Rev. Thomas I guess I can assume that it's either back to John, or maybe another sibling or maybe another relative all together say uncle, 2 nd cousin and so on., right. You may email me direct if you wish at Maxhouse@netzero.net. Will it be posted as to what lines will tie together? Larry Maxwell, Pensacola, Fl To all those who have emailed me their file or ask for a connection, give a week or so, I'm changing to a new Computer and will be changing my files over all this week. I still would like additional files to compare with and cross reference. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Crystal" <mywebtree@yahoo.com> To: <MAXWELL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 8:06 PM Subject: Re: [MAXWELL-L] Re: other Maxwells, not from Virginia > > --- Jasskirv@aol.com wrote: > > Hello, all, > <snip>> Further, do I understand correctly that this > > test is only for the male > > descendant? > > I am a female Maxwell descendant.

re: privacy issues: We thought of the privacy issue, even though the very tiny sample of DNA assayed would not allow anyone to ID a specific person even if they wanted to. Therefore we devised have a way to completely protect your privacy. 1. You are assigned a donor number different than the one used by the company. 2. We posted only the 4 oldest Maxwell generations, not the submitters name. 3. When a person finds a match with his sample, he contacts one of the study administrators. We then send an email to the original donor, informing him of the email address of the person who desires to contact him. If the original donor decides not to contact the person it is up to him. But remember the whole idea is to share information, theories and ideas so we can help each other advance our lines. Again I hope people realize, this study is just another tool for those of us who are stuck, and have exhausted all the standard avenues of genealogical proofs (ie paper trails). Because so many of our ancestors did not stay in the same place long, many families seperated when they migrated to other colonies/states after immigration and many times lost contact with their original family.

To test for Maxwell either your father or brother should be test (or some other qualified male). hth. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi Listmembers, I expected to see Don post by now to answer some of the questions about the DNA program. He explained to me yesterday that he had been having problems connecting to the net to retrieve his mail, so perhaps that problem continues today. He did subscribe yesterday in 'L' mode, and I have him CC'd here directly to his hotmail acct., just incase that helps. Since I get all the bounces, I received one today with several of our members who have hotmail addresses, which is a red-flag that hotmail is having server problems. The problem hotmail usually reports is the "exceeded space alotment" bounce, which I will always let go in hopes the member will take care of it before the computer bounces them off automatically. I have to manually remove the ones who close the acct, and cause the "No user by that name", but that's not specific to hotmail. It happens with any server. I asked Don about the privace issue, and he assured me they had that taken care of. Without trying to get into his technical explaination, I suggest we wait for him to get back with us on that.

To Ken and all: Ken, I am very pleased that you and Don have worked out a solution to this 'problem'. For those of us with a brick wall in our family tree, DNA family research could save us an enormous amount of time and money. When you can't find the parents of an ancestor, you have to look at all possibilities in a given time period and in many places. Not all of us have the resources to travel all over the country (and world) or to hire genealogists to help us scale our brick walls, so we search and search -- kind of like trying to kill a tick with a shotgun -- your research is so spread out that it is inefficient. Yes, I have all of the same concerns about sharing my DNA as the rest of you do, but at we need to at least be open minded about the possible benefits vs. the risks and in the process learn more about what is being offered.

Hello, all, I have followed, intermittantly, the DNA discussion, feeling quite aloof from it as my Maxwell ancestor did not arrive in this country until 1840 or 1850 and all that I have been able to find says he is from Ireland. Further, do I understand correctly that this test is only for the male descendant? I am a female Maxwell descendant. Would a test from my son confirm descendency? Just a few of the random questions that I speculate upon. Joan in Scottsdale, AZ

Hi Larry, I would appreciate anything you have on David Maxwell m. Jean Philips (around 1760-1770) in Scotland.
