Dear Kim: Like you, I am a grandchild of Benjamin Franklin & Emma Charity Minerva Dubel Maxwell. I am in the process of tracing our Maxwell ancestry and have gone as far back as 1775 to Benjamin Dubel, born June 20, 1775, in Wolfsville, Frederick County, Maryland. He married Elizabeth Ridenour in 1800 in the Grossnickle Church of the Brethren in Wolfsville. Since you and I are related, we should endeavor to maintain contact with one another regarding our ancestry. My Mother, Pearl Maxwell Doyen, was the Sister of your Mother, Viola Maxwell Brooks. Let's keep in touch.
