Earl, Sorry, That is all I have on Joseph Maxwell, Hamilton Maxwell, William Albert Maxwell 12-15-1874, and Ollie Maxwell b. about 1877. I wish I did have more. Maybe you can send me what you have. (I have no birth-dates for Joseph, and Hamilton Maxwell. nor do I have a spouse for Hamilton, William Albert, or Ollie Maxwell. Sorry Earl, but what you see here is all that I have. I have just found out within the last few months that My G Grandmother had been married to Joseph Maxwell before she married my G Grandfather. That is why I have been searching for the Maxwell's Any help would be very much appreciated. Take care and stay cool out there.

My research for nearly 40 years has been on the PA Maxwell clans 1750-1850. I think your Susan comes from the Major William Maxwell clan of the Mercersburg area. Welsh Creek runs near Mercersburg and Greencastle, in the townships of Montgomery and Antrim. Major William went into Peters Twp (Montgomery came out of Peters) about 1737. He was a Major in the colonial army and one of the first Justices of Cumberland County in 1750. Here's part fo the family: 1. William Maxwell, (c1716-Oct 1777) b: Ireland, died in Franklin Co. * Susannah ___________ (c1716-Dec 1781) Ireland & Franklin 2. Patrick Maxwell (c1735-Sep 1786) * Hannah Whitehall, m: 19 Oct 1769, died 1805 3. Susannah Maxwell and six siblings So if your dates are correct (birth 4 Feb 1787) then Susan was born about five months after her father's death. I have no reason to doubt your dates! You have a marriage date of 1823, which would mean Susan was 36 years old........very old for that era! However, I have Susannah getting married to James McCLELLAND on 24 Dec 1802 at Upper West Conococheague Presby. Church by Rev. John King. She would have been several months short of her 16th birthday (maybe a little young, but certainly possible). My guess is that James died and John Elliott was her second marriage. Most of my data on this clan comes from the Kittochtinny Historical Society records in Chambersburg. Please let me know if you find anything to confirm my theory. Wilmer Maxwell, Carlisle, PA

Genie, Dale; You two should get to know each other. You both gave me almost the same data. I am descended from Susannah Maxwell and John Elliott and their son Maxwell Elliott who married Nancy Angle in Greencastle Franklin co PA. I want to know what you know about the Maxwell/Elliott/Angle families in Franklin co PA I have the descendants and will exchange data. Genie this is the Dale I asked you about. I thought you were both the same people. I have been talking to both of you separately. Let's get together.
