I'm looking for three Scottish-born Maxwell brothers, who apparently all ministered in 'Ulster'. [Note: Presbyterian not Church of Ireland clergy.] I know nothing of two of them.
There is quite a footprint for Rev. James Maxwell from various old books on-line. James ministered at Omagh for about 60 years, and died there in 1750, 'in his 89th year', (which I take to mean he was 88!) giving a birth year year of 1662. Some sources say he was the son of a [titled] John Maxwell, whose lands were forfeited. Anyway looking at OPR on Scotland's People, there were 2x James Maxwell with father=John, and mother either Agnes Liddell or Issobell Baxster, both bap. Glasgow parish (however there were 5 others with father not John in 1661-62). James had children including Rev. John, and Jane, both of whom married into churchy families.
Does anyone know the names of the other two brothers please?
