[Br²derbund WFT Vol. 5, Ed. 1, Tree #0725, Date of Import: Apr 16, 2002]
N.J. Stroud, J.M. Stroud, Joseph Pierce signed Marriage Certificate of
Lydia and Bill Maxwell.
Per Kathryn Maxwell Reatherford the Maxwell Family Cemetery is the
Highland Cemetery west of Melissa.
Another cemetery is near Elm Grove off 75-West near Anna toward
Westminster.
I found and made a copy of the 1880 Collin County Texas Census Sheet #15
Line #28 Precinct #3 which lists W.T. Maxwell at the age of 11.
I found and made a copy of the 1900 Collin County Texas Census Sheet #2,
District #2, ED #12. This showed him at this time at his half brother,
John McFerrin's household with Nancy Jane Maxwell (Grannie) listed as
Nannie Maxwell her age shown as 6. His parents however are listed as
being born in Mississippi according to the census record.(This is
probably due to the fact that John's mother is listed in his household
and she was born in Mississippi, the enumerator assumed they had the same
mother when in reality they had the same father.)
He lived with Nancy Jane Maxwell Hollis Turnbow at the end of his life
and died at Burkburnett.
