This is all I have regarding another generation. The Compendium of American Genealogy, Volume IV, Page 384 5. Thomas Maxwell, from Dumfrieshire, Scotland, 1760, settled in Trenton, N.J. married ----- Hamilton. 4. Thomas Maxwell (1767-1820) m. Rachel Chambers. 3. Nathaniel V. Maxwell (1809-1896) m. Eleanor Denise (1811-1898). Volume II, Page 96 v. = Van, b. Centerville, Ohio. My great-grandfather, George McCann Maxwell, was a younger brother of Nathaniel Van Maxwell. I have complete probate records on the second Thomas (1767-1820) and orphan records on his three youngest children -- Phebe, Nathaniel and George. Thomas died October 5, 1820 in Montgomery County, Ohio, probably in Washington Township, and is buried in the New Jersey Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Carlisle, Warren County, Ohio. Using the standard thirty years per generation, the first Thomas would have been born in Scotland circa 1737. How does this fit with your William? Did Susannah migrate to Ohio? Thomas and Rachel had twelve children. I have identified three, suspect five more and don't have a clue on the remaining four. The birth years I know range from 1792 to 1814 with lots of gaps. I wish I could find more on Rachel Chambers, the wife of the second Thomas. Did she remarry after Thomas died? When and where did she die? Where is she buried? It appears from the records that she was still living when the final settlement was filed on March 13, 1827. What happened to her after that is still a mystery.

Ray No sorry, all I know for sure is Susannah's birthday 4 Feb 1787 and marriage and death and some children. Indications are that her marriage to John Elliott may have been her second marriage and she had may have had other children by her first husband. Thomas may have been her father but I think her grandfather was captain William.
