I read a genealogy by Frank A Walker years ago that had this line back to the 1300s in Scotland.I've never been able to verify anything further back than Samuel though.His parents are supposed to be Hugh Maxwell and Sarah Campbell m abt 1667 in Ireland.I have this from an internet correspondant who got it from Col Hugh's book:
"Col. Hugh MAXWELL was a brother of your William MAXWELL, and was bornin Minterburn in April 1733. William, per the book, was actually bornin Ligoniel, County Antrim, on 7 Mar. 1729. His parents were HughMAXWELL and Sarah CORBETT, who were married on 3 June 1728 inScotland. Hugh MAXWELL was born on 8 Apr. 1701 in Scotland, the son ofSamuel MAXWELL and Margaret (KENNEDY) BUNTING, who were married on 8June 1695, probably in Wigton Co., Scotland. Samuel MAXWELL's birthdate is given as 3 Dec. 1674. Sarah CORBETT was the daughter ofWilliam CORBETT and Margaret MEAGER, and was born supposedly in 1691.The Corbetts were from Cairn Ryan, Scotland.
Hugh MAXWELL, father of your William MAXWELL, moved his family fromNorthern Ireland to Massachusetts in July 1733, and settled inBedford, MA, where he died on 19 Mar. 1759, from falling off a horse.His widow, Sarah, moved with her sons to Heath, MA, where she died in1772."
This much matched what I had from Frank Walker.
I'm interested in anything you find on this family.
