I, too, an a descendant of Thomas Maxwell, b May 13, 1711 in Middlesex County, VA, married to Mary Pemberton and migrated as a Baptist Minister to Elbert County, GA around 1791. I have read the 1950's version of "Thomas Maxwell and his Descendants", and I have yet to see the proof that Joel was the father (and immigrant) of Thomas and Sir Eustace Maxwell was the father of Joel, the supposed immigrant. I have searched ship's records, etc. and never found anything that corresponded. I believe this Thomas' father was also Thomas, married to Keziah Blake, and I believe that their father was the Thomas (Maxum)b. ca 1680, shown in the Christ Church Register , probably our Maxwell, who was married to Elizabeth Cook. Any one having proof that I am wrong, please, by all means, let me know, as I do not have proof that I am correct. I just am not going to take the word of that Thomas Maxwell book without having proof of some sort. Just my humble opinion. |
