Jack A clue. There was a Hugh Black in Derry Twp Lancaster (now Dauphin) Ct. PA first record of his presence 1724. He died 1759. Among children listed in will, a Mary. Egles Notes and Querries says that this Mary married a ? Maxwell and they had a daughter Nancy Maxwell. I've no clue about what the maxwell's first name might have been. It is, however, the right timeframe.

As you know, there is a will in Adams Ct. PA (it was called York before 1800) for John Blackburn Jun 25, 1786 probated /Oct 17, 1785 written in Tyrone Twp Adams Ct. PA. In it he identifies his wife Agness and children James (Oldest), Alexander, William, John Maxwell (youngest) Mary m. William McGrew, Hannah, and Sarah (youngest). The will of John MGrew probated Dec 6, 1775 Huntington Twp Adams Ct. PA refers to his wife Elizabeth, sons Archibald and WIlliam, Daughter Catherine m. William Boyd and then, amongst the list of Grandchildren: "James plus Robert plus John (Maxwell)" - which could be interpreted to mean the children of his son William McGrew though William's name isn't in parens. Or, he could have had a daughter who died who had married a Maxwell. THe Blackburn people seem to believe there were two different Blackburn families who both came from Armagh Ireland about the same time and both settled Adams Ct. PA, one Quaker and one Presbyterian. It is believed by the Blackburn researchers that John Blackburn who married Nancy/Agness Maxwell was the son of Alexander Blackburn who supposedly died in Lancaster 1749, Derry Twp. and was Presbyterian. What is interesting is the reference to some Blackburns in Chester Ct. New London Twp same time as Walter Carson ((father of Agness (Carson) Maxwell)) circa 1730s. This John Blackburn Quaker settles in Menallan as does Walter Carson. Naming a son "John Maxwell Blackburn" suggests that John Maxwell was the father of Agness Maxwell. There is a John Maxwell in Chester Ct. 1712 d. 1715 who had a son John. Interesting also is that Quaker records identify members of the Blackburn Quakers from Amagh arriving in the US 1728 - probable same time as Walter Carson who first appears on Tax List New London (Londongrove) 1729. Might also mention that it appears to me probable that the Carsons/Henry Maxwell arrived on a ship docking at New Castle Deleware. Josette.
