I just learned that my Maxwell relatives came from Ireland and before that Scotland. My Gr.Gr.Gr.Gr. grandfather was David Maxwell b1770-1825 married Margaret Miksfield B.1771-1850. They had 6 children - Thomas, Archibald, David, Margaret, Eliza & Christopher. Christopher was my Gr.Gr.Gr. grandfather b. 1816 in Armagh, Ireland married Mary Smith b.1845 d.1892. They had 9 children -Thomas, James,David C., Nancy, Margaret A., Henrietta (Hannah)Fuller, William, Mary Jane b.1861and Fenton. Henrietta (Hannah) was my Gr.Gr. grandmother. b.1854. We can not find where David came to the USA. Christopher and his brothers migrated in 1822 from Ireland to Albany,NY and finally setteled in Manilus, Onondaga Co., NY. I have been told that David migrated from Scotland to Armagh Ireland. But that is all the info I can find out. Have you had any further luck?
