Thank you Kathleen for your input. I'm sure I have read a partial list of Donelson's party in one of the history books but never saw a Maxwell on a list of his party. I have seen David and James mentioned in early TN history and there was also a John and Jesse, among others. There are mentions of a William who had mail waiting at the post office in Davidson Co. but that was in early 1800's after our William had left the area. Tennessee Genealogical Records show that William Maxwell's daughter, Margaret (Peggy), married Joseph Morgan Sept. 22, 1793 in Sumner Co. In Williams Will he mentions his daughter, Marget Morgan. He is on the 1788, 1790 &1794 tax lists for Sumner Co., and probably the other years but that is all I have. He was the only Maxwell on the lists though there were supposed to be other Maxwells in the area. He left TN. for Logan Co., KY in 1794/5 and was on the tax list for Logan Co. starting in 1795.
