Good Morning Elizabeth!

David & Margaret Maxwell are my 4th GGP. David died in Mount Pleasant
1832, Margaret made the trip to Rock Island Co, IL in 1846 & died there 1855.

David & Margaret had 16 children - 8 boys & 8 girls! One daughter was
named Elizabeth, but she would have been born abt 1816. David & Margaret
also had a son named John married to Jane unk that had a daughter named
Elizabeth b 1832. I have no further info on either of these Elizabeths. D
& M also had two sons (Andrew & Joseph), that I don't have info on. I just
have approximate birth dates (per census records) & no spouses or
children. My Maxwells were Protestant.

Of the 8 sons, John was born 1802 & moved to WI. James b 1804 stayed in
Westmoreland Co. Samuel b 1808 moved to Rock Island Co, IL. Andrew &
Jospeh were both b bet 1810-1815 & no other info known. David was born
1812 & stayed in Westmoreland Co. William was born 1815 & moved to Rock
Island Co, IL. Jesse (my 3rd) born 1817 moved to Rock Island Co.

Per your approximate birth date of your Elizabeth (1825-1830), she would be
the age to be daughter of one of the above sons. The 4 sons that moved
from PA, left 1846. The two sons that stayed in Westmoreland Co, I have
the names of their children, & no Elizabeths. Which leaves the only two
possibilities as Andrew & Joseph, (& I don't have any other info on them!).

Hope this helps you & hope there is a clue for you! If you want any more
info on any of these, let me know!
