Our Northern Ireland adventure is over, the answers found and it is time to move on; to Stirling in Scotland with the prospect of new "finds"and more adventures. For almost six years I have researched the Presbyterian Ulsterman and in doing so found four obscure out of print publications that should be included in every library. Before my focus changes to Scottish research I am offering to interested researchers ONE last time the opportunity to purchase (cost of copies and postage) the following items. All items have either expired copyrite provisions or in the case of the Hagy thesis I have the authors permission to reproduce the document. They are: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905, 1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A. member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 King St. 211 pages. On our trip we met JB Shannon age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting and he was a window to the past. He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and says they are still the BEST source for Ulster presbyterian research. From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places...." If I send this post to your list it means your surname is listed in the appendix. Cost: $25.00 Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William R. Young, 1932, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London 350 pages. Contains the following biographical sketches: (1500) 1. The leaders of the County Associations, who with their levies took part in the Preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2. The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3. The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4. Those engaged in the relief of the city. One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible. Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy. Cost: $25.00 A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical Notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Dicese of Derry. Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord Macaulay, Toronto, 1869 The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from. Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others that I have seen. 311 pages Cost: $25.00 Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, A thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee St. University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages. The most popular of the documents offered it covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier. If your ancestors came through southwest Virginia this document is the history of your family. Contains information of specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there. Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier. Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore and 50 or so other "Scotch-irish" families make this an invaluable resourch for your family history. Cost: $25.00 I only post these offerings to a tiny fraction of the lists and only to those lists where your surnames are mentioned. After I make the offering I insubscribe because my e-mail box will fill up in about ten minutes. I am always on the Cowan and Wigton-Walker lists and you can e-mail me at cscunc@aol.com and ask any question you like. I will always attempt to answer your questions although it is unlikey I hold the key to who your great grandma was. If you are interested in the results of our trip to Donegal and Belfast please check the COWAN-L archives and you will see the posts we made during the last week or so. Thanks for your interest and I hope making this information available has helped some of you. I always enjoy getting e-mails from fellow researches. Also a big thanks to those of you who sent family information to us before our trip. It was appreciated and a special thanks to Alex Latta from Canada who turned us on to James Fleming. The trip would not have been the same without that piece of the puzzle. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105 (704)847-4081

Josette- I have this line: John Maxwell married Izabel McGrew -- James (their son) married Mary Campbell ----- Isabella (James' daughter) married Archibald Boyd These last two are buried in Marsh Creek Presby Cemetery near Gettysburg. Archibald d: 1825, Isabella d: 1837 I do not know how this ties in with the Campbell and Boyd that you mentioned. My computer will be down for about 4 days as we are going to Buffalo, NY, to visit my son's family...................Wilmer

I am trying to find the North Carolina families of the following Maxwell's In the 1850 Knox County, Indiana Census are the following; William: Age 41 B: N.C. M: Julia? age 38 Alexander Maxwell: Age 37. B:N.C. M: Hester? 36 In the same census is another Alexander Maxwell. M: Susan Decker in Kentucky. Perhaps he is the same Alexander as above but with a different wife???? They migrated to Knox co. where a son Daniel was born in 1822/23. Alexander and Daniel are the forebears of my husbands family, and I have absolutely hit that brick wall. Thank you. Martha Maxwell

Instead of a slide bar, in the upper left hand corner you should have a number of icons. The default icon is a magnifier. To zoom out select the icon with a minus sign. The icon with a hand allows you to move the image around to see different parts. Zoom in until the text is readable, then select the hand to move the image around to view different columns. -- Larry Thompson My genealogy page http://www.epix.net/~lt0168/index.html My Allegheny Co. maps page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~lt0168/maps/

Anne, Have you moved yet? Do you really find things in there and are able to print them out? When I had subscribed to the census I could never get to all print out. Sometimes there would not even be slide bar to move the page either up or down and you couldn't view all of the page. I don't know what I can be doing wrong and I did write to them for support but it didn't help either. Kat

I have been following the ideas and messages which are being posted. I would have only one thing to say. It is very simple, if no one has bothered or taken the time to put their family, no matter by what name, on the internet, we as researchers cannot find the resources to work with our genealogy.. Our time is wasted. I have names also which I cannot find. Others I have been overwhelmed with success, simply because someone took their time and especially their knowledge to post that information.

First info was 1790 census in Surry County, NC., Sidney Maxwell. In 1793 he and his wife Catherine Elsberry and her father John Elsberry moved west to what is now Ashe County, NC. and were given land grants. We have never been able to find Sidney's parents or siblings although there have been some theories. Also, there were several Maxwell families in the early 1800s census, one of which I believe was a brother to Sidney but cannot prove it. Sidney's father in law, John Elsberry along with Sidney are written about in The Washington Ancestry and records of The McClain, Johnson, and forty other colonial American families, by Charles Arthur Hoppin. (privately printed in Greenfield, Ohio). There is another article about Sidney Maxwell in the Heritage of Ashe County, NC. Vol 1., and he is also mentioned in "Ashe Co., A History" by Arthur L. Fletcher, from the article "who came first," however, there is no clue or evidence to parents or siblings. Marylou Maxwell

I've been told that he was born in Caldwell Co., Ky. and died in Jackson Co., Al. His wife, Rebecca Jones, was b. in Tn. or Ga. I know this isn't much, but it's all I have. Nothing on sibs. I do not know where Caldwell Co. is located in the state. I do know that there is a very close connection between people in southern Il., especially Hardin, Pope, and Johnson Cos. with Ky., as it is right across the river - Paducah in particular.

Also how can I get the program that you just mentioned where you can save the entire census that you want to view? I mean not the whole census but the page that you want to print out. Kat
