Hi,
   I am fairly new at this type of thing so if I
sound stupid, just ignore me.
   My grandfather, John "J" Maxwell immigrated
to the US in 1871, leaving behind his childhood
love, until he was able to send Grandmother
"Ellen Brown" a ticket.  At the same time my
grandmother's sister "Anna (Brown) Robinson" also
sent her a ticket.  She sent her ticket back and
came across on Grandfather John's. That was in
1872.  They were married in Xenia, OH June 18,
1872 according to the marriage certificate I
have, in my possession.  As far as we have been
able to find out, they settled in an area called
Yellow Spring, OH which is not too far from
Dayton, started a family of two (Anna J and
Susan)in Ohio,sometime before July 16, 1875.
In July Grandpa John bought 80 acres for $1800
in a place called Coldwater, IA.  Coldwater
later changed it's name to Dougherty and John
ald Ellen continued to grow more family. They
had a James, Jennie, a stillborn, Samuel (My
father) and another John Arthur.  James died
from what they think was ruptured appendix when
he was 17 years old.  I can remember when I was
in grade school, of getting an invitation to the
Robinson family reunion in Steubenville, but Mom
and Dad did not do any traveling except to
relation in Iowa so we never did meet the
Maxwell's or Robinson's in OH.  After Dad died in
1954 I can remember Mom getting an inheritance
check from the Robinson's in OH.  I think it was
for around $1500 and in those days that was a
goodly amount of money.  3 or 4 years ago there
were four cousins in different parts of the
country, trying to find out more of the Maxwell
history.  One of them would have been Marian
Sanders in Iowa whose e-mail address is:

I know she would be interested in hearing from
you also, and would connect you with some of the
other 3.
I hope to hear from you soon and have a bunch of
information to share.  My Great Grandfather in
Ireland was supposed to have written a letter to
Grandfather John's brother in Xenia, OH but I
have yet to see the letter.
   More at a later date.
