General Notes: Husband - Robert Maxwell

---

The coat of arms of the Max-well family was a wild boar's head, and from legend it is learned that it was given in the early history of Scotland, when the king of that country, being annoyed by a very wild and fierce boar in one part of his kingdom, declared that the honor of knighthood should be conferred upon the one who would kill the boar. A Maxwell having succeeded in killing the dangerous animal, was knighted and received as his coat of arms a wild boar's head.

He was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and moved to Clearfield County in 1792, where he built the first house in what is now Clearfield, Pennsylvania. There was not another white settler within forty miles of his chosen home.
