McCue/Maxwell Family History
I have "cousins" connect to Gail Komar and her McCue lineage.
I have a hand written letter from Phyllis McCue who married David Jeddiah Maxwell, Jr a grandson of our James Henry Maxwell and Sarah Caroline Cole.
Will let you know if it is the same McCue line, same area of Ohio feel they must connect, at some twig, on our Maxwell of Cross Creek tree at Ancestry.com.
A g-grandfather of Donna Maxwell Tivener's, David Wakeman Maxwell, was brother to our James Henry Maxwell b 1851.
