I am descended from Margaret (Maxwell) Phibbs, daughter of Samuel Maxwell, Sr. of Guilford Co. Samuel was not son of John as given in "Hist of Buffalo church" by Rankin. He was son of Robert & Catherine Maxwell of Drummore Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa. Robert died 1752 leaving will naming only wife Catherine & oldest son, James Maxwell, but Orphans Court Miscl. Record for 1742-1760, p.34 [FHL film #21,370] names children as James, Samuel, Robert, Margaret, John, Thomas, & Francis Maxwell. Further records in book for 1760-1763 state that widow, Catherine, married James Porterfield. Samuel, Thomas, Francis Maxwell and James Porterfield came to Guilford Co., N.C., possibly also John & Robert. John, Robert, Thomas and Porterfields moved on to Wilkes Co., Ga. before 1800. Samuel probably the only one of this family who remained in Guilford Co. I have more info and records. Write me if you want copy, also my article on Samuel Maxwell family is in Guilford Genealogist, vol.25,no.3, also "Pa. Records of Some Early Guilford Settlers" in vol.26,no.1. My addr.:Donald R. Simpson, P.O. Box 1468, Salt Lake City, UT 84110-1468
