ROBERT MAXWELL IN LESWALT
« on: Sunday 28 April 13 05:25 BST (UK) »
Hi all Robert Maxwell who married Margaret [Mc] Alexander had several children a couple of them appear to be in Leswalt, Wigtown after the Jacobite rebellion when Robert Maxwell, writer at Edinburgh was forced to enlist and sent to India. His so Robert Maxwell married at Leswalt in 1745 to Martha Carnochan, I am looking for any information on the Robert & Martha couple. They appear to immigrate to NYC in 1775 but I can only seem to locate four children to them, there must be more kids born in Scotland to the couple?
