Linda M. F. Welch is just beginning to discover her MAXWELL ancestry through James Maxwell (b. Dumfries, Scotland, ca. 1635). He married Margery Crump and settled in Boston, Massachusetts by 1660., His daughter Phelice, born in Boston, 22 Sept., 1667, married Thomas PELLAT.  If anyone has information as to the ancestry of James Maxwell of early Boston, she would love to correspond and learn as much as she can about the family.  You may contact Linda at her email at: Linda.Welch@Dartmouth.edfu
