Commentary

Comment on the above by Joel Hager

It appears these are the daughters of James Maxwell and relate to the will above. I quote from the will "Itm. Unto my four daughter Elizabeth Margaret Jane and Nancy I bequest and Equal share of one tract of land in the rich mountain containing 250 acres and likewise an equal share of 515 acres of land in the back valley be the residue of a tract of 665 acres in which Mary has her share." We clearly know who the girls married but do not know the spouses of all of the sons.
