Hello Sue. May I ask about your Maxwell's? I was off the internet a while,
and just rejoined the lists a short time ago, so I have missed much. I have
my Maxwell's to the late 1700's in Indiana. That man, Alexander, came from
North Carolina. There are so many Alexander's, at this point I will never
connect further without help from someone else. Thank you. Martha Maxwell
