Edward Maxey
Individual: There is no proof of the birth date of Edward Maxey. This date is an extrapolation from the dates of birth of the children. You will notice that the date of birth of his eldest son (from a different source) is only 7 years later. I don't know which is correct! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fled from France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. After a sojourn in England of indeterminate duration they arrived in the Colony of VA prior to 1700. They settled c1700 in Henrico Co., VA. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source of the following: Lon Wright The earliest references to Edward Maxey in Virginia are found in later deeds which refer to an original patent [I am still looking for this patent].
