Hello Natasha, there was a William Maxwell deported  from Preston to Va/Jam in 1716. Many Jacobite rebels were transported to other countries, convicts were also transported.My Dad used to say that our Maxwell family were SHANTY Irish.The Shanty Irish used to rape each other's woman and burn down each other's houses.I don't know if that is true,but that's what he believed.I've been reading about Scotish and Irish history. I founnd three Granville Maxwells in the 1920 U.S. census and three in the 1880 census.
