My grandfather was John Franklin Maxwell, b.1889 in Hill County, Tex. to Hezikiah Maxwell and Henrietta Glass.  Hezikiah was born 1848 in Tenn. to William Potts Maxwell and Louisa Smotherman (married 1846, Rutherford County, Tenn). William Potts Maxwell was born in 1802 in North Carolina and died in 1907 in Texas.  (dates confirmed) Hezikiah and John Franklin also died in Texas. Any connections?
