Jeff,      I appreciate your reply to my posting.  The roadblock I have encountered and been perplexed by for several years involves my great x3 grandfather William Maxwell who settled in Twiggs Coiunty, Ga. after migrating from North Carolina. Family legend says the family migrated from Jones Co., NC.  Also that William's father was Hugh. The bottom line is I have little or no verified information on this line beyond William who I have well documented after his migration to Ga. I did see where a William(not sure whether or not he's mine)married a Nancy Simpson-I believe in Mecklenburg Co., NC in 1805. After his migration to Ga. my William was married to Charity(last name unknown).  What I'm trying to establish is whether or not he(William) was previously married and how this marriage dissolved.  Any information you may lend will be greatly appreciated.
