The birth date of Thomas is very wrong. See 1800 Census, Thomas is over 45, in the 1810 Census he is 10 years older or at least 55, in the 1820 Census Thomas is at least 65. He dies in 1827 at age 77 upward. This means he was born about 1750.
The only NC importation of a Thomas Maxwell is in April 1771. He has been sentenced, reprieved, and transported by bond from London via the Thornton, Capt D. MacDougald. Jack Geddie only missed the year of immigration by one year earlier than he had assumed. Thomas used family names as aliases:
Erskine and Hamilton. Jack Geddie alludes to the Maxwell who horse-whipped his landlord and had to leave Scotland. Thomas was with the shipbuilder, William Miller of Wilmington and his joiner, William Maxwell. Thomas Erskine Maxwell along with several others was sent to Halifax as Loyalists. Thomas probably takes the oath of allegiance to the state of NC and serves with Col. John Geddie who was appointed to form a troop of volunteer horse with Francis Marion.
