It appears one John Maxwell, ends in 1787 on the list when his estate was being settled and we have a second John Maxwell appearing on the list and who seems to be the one who went to Washington County, KY between 1791 and 1800. He appears on the Washington County, KY tax lists in 1800. In Sept 1797 while living in Washington County he sells land in Rockbridge County. ( I have original land record) He may also have had a wife named Mary. He probably is the son of John who died in 1786.
Note: Audley Maxwell appears in the tax list in 1787. On September 29, 1796,"William Maxwell of Logan County, Kentucky, power of attorney to his friend, Audley Maxwell, to convey 350 acres of land formerly owned by John Maxwell, Deceased." (We need original as this is one statement that is I believe is misread, maybe even by me.) To me this links Audley Maxwell to John Maxwell who died in 1786.
We also know there were sons; James, Thomas and William christened at Tinkling Springs. I can not verify who William is, but the William of Logan County, KY is said to be a friend not a brother od Audley Maxwell.
You also have an Alexander now appearing. these all need primary documentation not speculations to link to John Maxwell.
Did John Jr. have sons: Audley, Alexander and John besides Thomas, William and James MAXWELL? It is looking to me that way.
Did he also have a daughter who married in the area at about the correct time to be his daughter? Rebecca MAXWELL who was believed born Circa 1755/1758. She married John ANDERSON on 10 Jan 1775 in Botetourt County, VA, by George Skillern. Recorded in book Bontetourt County Marriages 1770-1853 by John Vogt and T. William Kethley, ©1987, page 491
John MAXWELL Jr.
I believe John Jr. is the one who died in Rockbridge County in 1786 and is probably the father of James below and the father of William, James and Thomas above. Will add more about him later.
