I saved an email someone sent to a list with a LARGE list of names of those making the trip with Col. Donelson, and a separate list of those coming with Capt. Robertson. The Donelson list has "Jesse Maxwell family" To answer another question as to anyone killed, it shows Eli Payne (killed). This list came from a large chart the original poster ordered from a Virginia historical society. I'm reluctant to post the entire list here, but anyone who asks me I will send it to them.

Thank you Ken for removing the question mark on which Maxwell traveled with the Donelson group. The history I have is that our Maxwell was with a large wagon train leaving from Charleston shortly after the Revolutionary War. Buchanan and Drake went out first to check out the area that became Logan Co., KY. Our Maxwell family and some others settled in the Sumner Co area until 1795 before going on to Logan Co., KY. Some of the names that were supposedly in that wagon train were: Buchanan, Carnahan, Pyeatt, Shannon, Billingsley, White, Blair, Newton, Porter, Preston, MAXWELL, Rankin, Marrs and most likely Morrow, Tennant, Pylant and Garvin. Wherever I have looked for our Maxwell's I have found many of these names from the ongoing generations from VA, TN, KY, AR and into TX. I would love to have the list from the Robertson group, thank you.

The Maxwells may have went up to Logan Co KY because Jean Maxwell, sister to Jessie Maxwell married Thomas Sharp. He moved his family to the vicinity of Christian Co, KY prior to the Revolutionary War and later to Logan County KY. I haven't researched the evolution of KY counties, so it is possible Logan may have been formed from Christian County and they never moved. Some of the children were born in Hopkinsville in Christian County. Thomas died in Logan County. My information came from his great granddaughter who was a member of the DAR.

These are mostly NC people and the ones credited with settlement of Fort Nashborough - the signers of the Cumberland Compact..... but there was also a group which I have never really seen listed anywhere - these were some of the German speaking people moving from around Bean's Station and Holston and Clinch river area......they still got there in time to get 640 acres of land free for defense of the fort when the Indians attacked. I figure they must have gone overland - from present eastern TN thru Cumberland Gap, across part of KY and then down to Mansker's Station area. I also think when the Indians attacked, some of this group moved back up into KY and perhaps back to where they had come from......But Henry Turney stayed and he got 640 acres later on. It is difficult to put this group together since they seem to have been German speaking families originally out of the Shenandoah / Augusta County Va area. I am surprized to see Peter Looney name on this list for the Signers of Cumberland Compact as the Looney family was also out of VA....and Peter Looney had a lot of land dealing with Henry Turney, Henry's oldest daughter born 1769 married a John Looney. Two of his older sons married into the Gilliam family, one son married a Barger, etc. I think a Sommer/Summer might have come with Henry Turney, but moved back to KY during the attacks. Henry Turney is included in some of the lists of the first settlers of Ft Nashborough, etc. but not the Donelson group since he did not come with them.
