Does anyone have information about this John Maxwell? Many times his inetials W. or W.C. will be included. John b. Oct. 1885 in Stone County, Missouri. He is the son of David Harvey Maxwell and the elusive Mary E. Edwards. I have Mary's line now. It is very interesting. Her father John, was killed on his birthday by his slave with an axe. But the most interesting development is that Mary's line goes back to King Henry VIII of England, and Catherine of Arigon. Queen Catherine was the Daughter of Queen Isabella Castile of Spain who financed Chrisopher Columbus's historic voyage. I think we should find where this John Maxwell's line went to.
