Dear Clan Cousin Jody: Perhaps I can be an assistant to your search as I am a loyal Maxwell who does help others in our Society. My Grandfather, William Earl Dowson married Minnie Minerva Maxwell, in Oshkosh, Nebraska, 1920, was son-in-law to Hiram Maxwell of Berlin Ohio born 1867, his Father Dr. David Maxwell, born 1837, was born near Mercer County, Sharon, Pennsylvania and back to Andrew Maxwell who married Elizabeth Campbell, 1766, in the Old Sod. I am in Santa Fe, New Mexico and doing research here for several reasons and to produce scripts, lectures, and a novel.. I am a good friend of the former Leader of this Society, Mr. Laurence Long, a Scholar and Gentleman of the highest calibre and follow his lead in attempting to aid and comfort those Historians on the move. Please call on me when you need an assistance. I will try to encourage your research and am most certain you will achieve your worthy goal soon. I once lived in the following Ohio towns, Middleport, Meigs County, Saint Paris, Champaign, Ada, Hardin County, Lima, Allen County,Cincinnati, Hamilton, County, and finally Bellbrook, Warren County. Perhaps my contacts will help in some small way to your roadblocks and thse can be minor frustrations in your searching for Truth and Beauty of your own branch. Every good wish to you in your effort, Your Clan Cousin, Fr. Dwight Lynn Dowson dwightldowson@yahoo.com 505.490.9404
