I have a listing from the internet from early 1999.....I am not sure exactly where this info is located, if anyone knows, let me know. FIRST LAND SURVEYED ON THE WATERS OF THE HOLSTON & CLINCH RIVER. Surveyor's Record of Fincastle County (VA) Name Location Maxwell, Ge. Holston surveyors records are great when you can find them as they usually are done before any land is registered at the court house. Usually before there is a court house......often, the surveyors notes are made, people move away, a court house is built and the people left register their land. So it is a way of sometimes finding someone who moved on before there was a court record of their land. Mary

The LDS did not mess this family up, the person who submitted the information messed the family up. LDS usually just safe-guards the info given to them. They did send people out to county courts, etc. a long time ago and copied records if allowed. But usually what you find as far as family histories has been submitted by someone. I have found several submitted histories full of errors......that is why you use those as a place to start. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene Phillips" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 12:39 AM Subject: Re: [TNDAVIDS] Col.

Gene: Thank you for putting your line up. I have come across them in my Maxwell search and it is helpful to put them all together in one family. I would love to have a copy of your Maxwell history.

I got it the Maxwell History from the archives. They have it on Microfilm as well as the original stored away. I really need ot see the original because some words here and there are not readable and the ends of some lines an pages are cut off.

George Maxwell is in my family. Here's a short descenancy Chart David Maxwell b 1731 Lancaster Co VA. m. Nellie McCoullough. David's parents immigrated from County Donegal Ireland. Their Children were all born in VA as far as I know, probably Washington or Augsta Co. Jean Maxwell b 1750 m. Thomas Sharp went to KY George Maxwell b. 1751 m. Jane Fairfax lived in Hawkins Co TN. He had a land grant on Mansker's Lick but never occupied it. Rebecca Maxwell b 1753 m. John Anderson lived Scott County VA Jesse Maxwell (my gggg-gf) b 1757. m Anne Armstrong. lived in Hawkins Co. until 1797 when they moved to his land grant south of Nashville is what is now the Crieve Hall area in Brentwood. James Maxwell b. 1757. Can't find anything that ties him in for sure. David Maxwell b. ? killed early on by Indians. I think he may have been the oldest because he was named after his father. Possibly 2 more sisters. One marred Mr. Agnew, another married Mr. Wallace. The LDS messed this family up. They merged Jean with a Lady Jean Maxwell who lived in Scotland. I also think they had the wrong birthdate for Jesse. A history of the family I have written in the 1920s said he was born in Lancaster Co before they moved to VA. Jesse and Anne were buried in the Presbyterian Church Cemetery on Patterson's Knob. The church burnt down and was never rebuilt. All that is left of the cemetery is weathered stones. If you would like to read copy of the Maxwell History I have I can send a copy direct to you. It was written by Mary "Mollie" Maxwell Claiborne. She lived in Maxwell Hall from the age of 10 years old. Most of her information came from a diary written by her mother. Unfortunately, she trused the post office to deliver the diary to the state archives. It never made it. She never made a copy and her manuscript was done from memory of the diary years after she mailed it off.

Remember that King's Mountain and Boyd's Creek, etc. were in fall of 1780.....at that time, summer of 1780, the Cumberland Group were busy fighting Indians around present Nashville so I doubt you would find a man who was in both places. Henry Turney's brother Peter Turney was at Boyd's Creek and perhaps King's Mountain while Henry was busy around Ft Nashborough.

Charles Roach born circa 1799 Davidson Co TN, married 08 May 1823 Mary Baldwin sister to my Catherine/Catheryn Baldwin. These two people married in Hickman Co KY Book 1 Page 2 marriages published by Hickman Co Historical Society. How did these two people meet? Did he and his family go into Hickman Co KY? Davidson Co TN is up near Nashville quite a piece from Hickman Co KY.

I have not kept up with this till I notice your mention of Bean.....so perhaps you already got this.... THE KING'S MOUNTAIN MEN by Katherine Keogh White MAXWELL. George was born in Virginia in 1751, went early to the Holston, and became a lieutenant in 1777. When the Ingles were captured by Indians he went to the rescue. He commanded a company under Shelby at King's Mountain. He was one of the first justices of Sullivan and held other important offices. John was under Campbell. In 1781 two of his daughters were scalped by Northern Indians. Maxwell's Gap in Washington county, Virginia, is where the capture and murder of the Ingle family took place. James was also at King's Mountain. He was killed while pursuing the Indians who had murdered the daughters of John. His white hunting shirt made a conspicuous target. Thomas of the same county was under Shelby. He said the action began at the east end of the mountain, Campbell and Shelby there being opposed by the British regulars led by Ferguson in person. All these Maxwells seem to have been brothers, or otherwise near of kin. Evan Shelby lived at Sapling Grove which is now in Bristol TN/VA....a town in both states. Campbell was located further north in VA. This gives you some locations where these Maxwells probably lived. I think Shelby also had some land near Bean's Station (but there were a few Shelbys). I know the Henry Turney had some land next to Evan Shelby's claim and I don't think it was Bristol TN/VA but rather around Bean's Station. I think you are on to something about Bean's Station area - will keep digging for those land records.

The William Bean you are talking about, could this be the one from Bean's Station? Cherokee Lake area, Bean's Station is still above water, but German Creek is underwater and Henry and Peter Turney along with a Beeler nephew were there....Henry moved 1780 to Cumberland......I have some land records I think for that area and will dig them out. I seem to remember a Funkhouser living nearby - notice all the German names, perhaps why it was called German Creek. I think this is Grainger Co now, but way back it was Hawkins....and before that it might have fallen in Spencer County of State of Franklin. It was a well known early station.....kind of the last stop before Cumberland Gap, so a lot of people moving to Cumberland area went thru Bean's Station area.
