This Maxwell web site is a good summary of the movement. www.maxwellsociety.com/History/Ireland.htm It says by 1640 there were over 100,000 thousand Scots in Ireland.

Thanks, Betty. My 6g-grandfather was a MAXWELL who brought his family from Ireland to the American colony of Virginia in 1740 -- he surely contributed to the invention of the Irish brickwall :-( I never talk about him on the Wig list 'cause I can't find him in Ireland, much less in D&G! Any male MAXWELLs out there? We sure could use your DNA: http://members.aol.com/dnamaxwell/myhomepage/index.html. (My line is in clan 004: http://hometown.aol.com/dnamaxwell/myhomepage/ancest30.htm.)
