Listers, I know you're anxious to join our new group -- yay! -- but I should have been more clear: You will get an invitation, so please hold off on subscribing. I need to make the group public first. You will get an invitation. Then I can deal with all the new subscriptions. Thanks for your patience...and not overloading my inbox in the meantime!

Dear MAXWELL listers, This is a reminder that our list - maxwell.rootsweb.com - will no longer be active effective 2 March 2020. The archives will still be available at <https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/maxwell.rootsweb.com>https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/maxwell.rootsweb.com, but you will no longer be able to post questions or receive answers via this list. I have created a replacement list – now called a group – at groups.io (GIO). Since GIO isn’t limited to surname or genealogy groups, the name for our new group includes those two words to distinguish it from other groups about Maxwell. Our new home page is <https://groups.io/g/Sct-Wigtownshire-genealogy>https://groups.io/g/Maxwell-surname-genealogy. As you are currently a member of the MAXWELL list at Rootsweb, you will soon receive an invitation to join Maxwell-surname-genealogy at GIO. After you accept it, you will receive a confirmation email to which you must reply to confirm your subscription. Don't add any text. Just "reply" to the confirmation email. Please note that I will no longer be able to add you manually to our group. You must either reply to the invitation or join yourself by emailing <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] If you have questions or comments, please write to me at <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] because <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] will no longer work after today. Maxwell-surname-genealogy will go public tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you in our new…and improved…home! Mary Richardson Maxwell-surname-genealogy owner

Unfortunately, I have found evidence that I am not a Maxwell descendant. I believed my gg-gf Benjamin Carroll Phillips was the same Benajmine listed in the 1850 census in Davidson Co TN. He was the son of Elizabeth Maxwell and William Phillips. However I found that Benjamin in the 1880 census for Davidson County in the same district as 1850 as Ben S Phillips, head of household. Living with him was 2 younger siblings from the 1850 census, Andrew and Emma. In 1880 my gg-gf was in Oregon Co. MO with his 2nd wife. In 1850 he was in Henderson Co. TN. If you look on some maps at the intersection of Hogan Rd and Franklin Pike (US 31), you see that the southwest corner of is the location of Phillips. If you go there in person and look at the property at that corner, there is a huge antebellum mansion. Unfortunately, Andrew, the youngest son in that family was the only one that I found burial information for. He never married. One of his pallbearers was William Phillips. I have collected lots of info on the TN Maxwells so sign me up for the group. Elizabeth Maxwell's father was Jesse Maxwell. He was among the first whites to come to the Nashville area. Him and his brother David were with Col Donelson on his trip to the area. They made more trips to the area escorting settlers in the to Clinch River and Nashville settlements. David never married. He was killed by Indians on one of those trips. Jesse and his brother George were in the Revolutionary War. George claimed his war bounty land in Hawkins County. Jesse claimed 640 acres on the other side of Franklin Pike from the Phillips'. He also claimed 640 acres for the heirs of David. But since he never married he had no direct heirs. I have found out that 2 sons of George were his heirs. They sold the land to Judge John Overton. He named his plantation Traveler's Rest.It still exists as a museum. He son, John Jr married Harriet Maxwell, granddaughter of Jesse. John Overton Jr built the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville. He named it after his wife's family. Joel Cheek named his coffee company after the hotel. Joel named his home Crieve Hall. That is the current day name of the community that includes the Jesse Maxwells property and Traveler's Rest. I suspect, but haven't proved it that Joel Cheek brought the Maxwell property and renamed Maxwell Hall to Crieve Hall. The last occupants of Maxwell Hall were Mary Maxwell Claiborne and her mother Annie, granddaughter of Jesse. Mary wrote a history of the Maxwells. I have a copy. The original is in the State Archives in Nashville. There were some close connections in that family. Mary's father was Thomas Claiborne. His sister Martha Claiborne was the wife of Jesse Maxwell Jr, Mary's grandfather. As far as I've been able to determine Jesse Maxwell's line daughtered out. But I did find out who my biological father is. Actually narrowed it down to 7 brothers. So now I have a whole new branch of my family tree to search. My father was a member of the Chickasaw Tribe of OK. But since I can't prove which one to the satisfaction of the Tribe, I can't join.

Thanks, Virginia. I've already decided to go with groups.io. I haven't used Yahoo lists, but they seem to be bare-bones. Even before the plug was pulled on the Rootsweb lists, Yahoo eliminated its more robust Yahoo Groups, which doesn't give me any confidence in Yahoo's support for such communications platforms: https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/16/yahoo-groups-to-shut-down/ https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/10/21004883/yahoo-groups-extend-deadline-download-data-date-time Many Yahoo Group admins have moved their lists to groups.io, not Yahoo lists (that I know of). Indeed, that's how many of us found out about groups.io! Mary At 12:43 AM 1/22/2020, [email protected] wrote: >A lot of the lists are going to Yahoo lists.

Great post...Mary!!!

Dear listers, You may have wondered why the Maxwell mailing list has been quiet for so long. After Rootsweb took down all the lists to upgrade its servers and software, some lists weren't reactivated when the system came back up last year. Our Maxwell list was one of them. When I learned this, I contacted our list administrator Ken Hollingsworth and volunteered to assume the admin's job. With his permission, I contacted Rootsweb to get the Maxwell list reactivated. Little did I know that my repeated requests seemed to have been ignored because Rootsweb was about to inactivate all its mailing lists. You may have heard about this. As an admin for several lists, here is what I received from Rootsweb: "Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state. Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb. As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account. Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this community. Sincerely, The RootsWeb team" "I understand your frustration, sadness and anger at the idea of lists becoming a read only product. There are still some active lists that are useful and some truly dedicated administrators on these lists that have made a huge contribution to the RootsWeb Community. We have looked at the entire product, not just a few lists and a few administrators. The number of active lists and administrators continue to dwindle. The amount of spam continues to increase and the product requires a good deal of maintenance. Mailing Lists as a whole is not the vibrant community it once was. The archives will continue to live in a read only state. We will update the search engine to access all of the content; I know that has been a problem. While you can't download the archives, you can download the email addresses and invite them to a new platform. I've seen good suggestions in various comments on this list. I truly appreciate the time and effort many of you have put into this product and community. Anne" Since reactivating our list on Rootsweb isn't possible, I want to move us to a new platform. So I contacted Rootsweb manager Anne once again. With her kind help, our list was reactivated with me as admin, my primary objective being to get access to all your emails in preparation for the move. I have read all the recommendations about where we should land -- yes, there are options! -- and have concluded that the best place is groups.io (GIO). To that end, I created a GIO group for the Maxwell surname and am currently familiarizing myself with its features. Many thanks to Don Maxwell who has been assisting me with this. So far I'm very impressed. It's far more robust than Rootsweb, so I think you'll be very pleased with our new home. As soon as I'm satisfied that I know enough to help you, I will flip the switch to take it live and send each of you an invitation to join. MAXWELL at Rootsweb will become inactive on March 2nd. If you want to be sure that your research and questions are archived, please post them to MAXWELL ASAP. They must be there before March 2. Just before then, I'll post a farewell message that includes information about where we've moved along with my contact information. Also, our archives page at Rootsweb will include the URL for our new home: https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/maxwell.rootsweb.com/2020/1/. And the founders of Rootsweb -- Karen Isaacson and Brian Leverich -- have also promised to post it on their Linkpendium site: http://www.linkpendium.com/. Onward and upward! We can stay viable!! Many thanks for your patience while I work through our transition. If you have questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards, Mary Richardson MAXWELL administrator G-granddaughter of a Maxwell :-)

Thank you....Gene I will use your summary (below) to update my online files...I dont want to add to the already complicated admixed versions....I plan to use you and Judy Maxwell Berck as sources (if thats ok)? I do think the confusion exists at the different Solomons- one father to Thomas went to Illinois (see DNA group 6.43) and possibly the "other" Solomon in the nonmatching DNA group 17 at www.maxwell-dna.com<http://www.maxwell-dna.com> If you want more details I have 2 new DNA samples that are verifying what you outlined...email me anytime! ....thank you!

TN To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Priscilla Rutledge was the daughter of Sarah Annis Armstrong and George Rutledge. She married David Maxwell son of Jessie Maxwell Sr and Anne Armstrong. They were first cousins, Sarah and Anne being sisters. BTW. I think the first source for my Armstrong-Maxwell information came from research at the LDS Family History Center and early TNGenWeb websites. I first starting researching them before 2000 and I had a computer crash and lost all my sources. All I had was names and dates in a GedCom backup. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm related to the Maxwells as I earlier thought. After recent research using census and newspaper data, I found that the person that I thought was my gg-gf Phillips was still living in Davidson Co. TN in 1870. My gg-gf Phillips and his wife were definitely in Henderson County TN in 1850 and Oregon Co MO in 1860, and in Oregon Co MO with his 2nd wife in 1870 & 1880. I will retain all the Maxwell & Armstrong information I have. I have spent years researching them and won't be tossing it out. I have a new correspondent in Nashville that lives just outside of the property owned by Jessie Maxwell in Nashville. He is related to the Maxwells by marriage. As far as I can tell Jessie's line daughtered out. His only son Jessie Jr only had daughters. Also I don't think the Solomon Maxwell you have linked to George Maxwell is his son Solomon. The text says his father is Thomas in his bio. George and Jessie's brother David was in the militia with Jessie. Their job was escorting settlers into TN. David was killed by Indians. When Jessie made his claim to his land in Nashville, he claimed 640 acres adjacent to his for heirs of David. David never married, and George's sons, Solomon and William became his heirs and inherited the land. They sold the land to John Overton Jr and moved to the "Northwest Territories" which at the time could have been Illinois. John Overton Jr married Harriet Maxwell, daughter of Jessie Jr. When John Overton built his hotel in Nashville, he named it after his wife's family, Maxwell House. The same Maxwell House that is the namesake of the coffee. Construction was started before the Civil War and was mostly and empty shell when the war started. It was used to house prisoners when the Yankees took Nashville. When prisoners were coming down to breakfast one morning, the makeshift stairs collapsed killing many of them. The hotel burnt down in the 1 930s. Gene

Sarah Jane Annis Armstrong was married to George Rutledge. Sarah was the daughter of William Armstrong and Mary Caldwell Jane Fairfax was married to George Maxwell. I was in Hawkins county at the end of September. I got photos of the school that George Maxwell founded. There was supposed to be a historical marker but I couldn't find it. The Presbyterian Church across from the school was where the Maxwells and Armstrongs attended church. I got tombstone photos of all the Armstrong & Maxwells and any one that might be related to them.

TN, I have found no proof that she is his mother. Of course the 1850 census doesn't list relationships, but generally they are listed in order as Head, spouse, and then the children by age. Other people in the household are listed after the children. I have a Maxwell Family history that lists 2 of her children that weren't shown in the 1850 census. The rest of the children listed in 1850 are mentioned in the history except for my gg-gf. Mary Maxwell Claiborne, the author of the history was born in 1855 and died in 1940. Maxwell is her mother's maiden name. She never married. The history wasn't dated. There is a copy in the State Archives in Nashville. It was copied by someone and sent to me. I have transcribed it if anyone is interested. Elizabeth's mother was an Armstrong. I also have a bunch of Armstrong surnames in my common matches. Gene *************

Maxwell is her mother's maiden name. She never married. The history wasn't dated. There is a copy in the State Archives in Nashville. It was copied by someone and sent to me. I have transcribed it if anyone is interested. Elizabeth's mother was an Armstrong. I also have a bunch of Armstrong surnames in my common matches.

When I began the search for my elusive ancestor James Maxwell 1738-1785 m Ann Cunningham etc....I was frustrated since one single DAR record from the 1930s incorrectly linked him to the incorrect father (Thomas Maxwell died Nottignham Twp Chester ) and Rev War soldier...what a mess. Then I said to myself I bet those other Maxwells in Chester Co Penn and neighboring Cecil Co Maryland are related....I wish I could say for sure I was able to prove (using primary documents) my James bc1738 father- but I cant. I was very interested in the records recorded about the Nottingham Presbyterian Church, Cecil Co which moved to North Carolina...this expanded my search to Maxwell in NC....then I was overwhelmed by Maxwells. I also looked at the cemetery records for Rising Sun area, Cecil Co, Md. and I was able to connect several of the Maxwell names with the help of WIlmer "Max" Maxwell (now deceased), Josette Maxwell, Barclay Richards, Jack North, Gene Phillips and several others. from my old notes: There are a few tombstone inscriptions from Cecil County , in the West Nottingham Presbyterian Church graveyard. They are later Maxwells, but I will give a partial list here: J. Leiper Maxwell, b. 20 May 1800, d. 26 Apr. 1878 George Andrew Maxwell, s.o. J.L. and J.M. Maxwell, d. 4 Jul. 1845, age 8 months 11 days **I found a living descendant in Durango Colo but have not been able to DNA test him. Am looking for any other known living male Maxwells from this line DM 2018 https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2379423/memorial-search?firstName=&lastName=maxwell&page=1#sr-89554866 William T. Maxwell, b. 12 Nov. 1840, d. 31 Mar. 1897 https://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=dmaxwelljr&id=I31251 David T. Maxwell, d. 20 Nov. 1856 age 10 years 19 days Elizabeth, wife of David Maxwell, d. 21 Sep. 1861 "in the 50th year of her age" ???? not sure????? David D. Maxwell, s.o. James H. and Olivia A. Maxwell, d. 23 Jul 1845, age 1y 7d. not sure about this one either but https://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=dmaxwelljr&id=I31255 ***************** This note from "Rising Sun" Cemetery: "The stones formerly in the New Side ground (of the cemetery) were removed some years ago. For a long time they lay beside the road. They are now, I am told, in the spring house of Barclay Reynolds, nearby." I cant find the old link to the "Dream of Jennie" link to Rising Sum Cemetery listing- but the new link below seems to name the same people. ************************** Please let me know if anybody know more about these people listed above and on the Find a Grave link by Gene Phillips and Carol Glasser https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.findagrave.com%2Fcemetery%2F2379423%2Fmemorial-search%3FfirstName%3D%26lastName%3Dmaxwell&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cf5ec6e577bb94a06b27508d5efab534d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636678441467429328&sdata=zfFwBHeB6uiv4kXYbYVzLltWi33Z4EZAiaZKaG3C3Lc%3D&reserved=0 and https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2379423/memorial-search?firstName=&lastName=maxwell&page=1#sr-89554866 **************************** Don Maxwell
