Mary: Would you mind looking for any Maxwell's in your book CENSUS OF THE CUMBERLAND SETTLEMENTS? I find our WILLIAM MAXWELL in the Sumner Co. tax lists starting after Sumner Co. was formed but am still trying to find when he went to TN. I think it was shortly after the Revolutionary War, according to some accounts.
