Maxwell Jesse [Male] b. 11 DEC 1780 Orange, Va. - d. 26 AUG 1864 Monticello, Ms.

Col. William Wofford had moved from Lexington County, South Carolina, in 1787 and claimed a large tract of land along the Franklin and Jackson Counties borders. In turn, he sold lots to willing settlers, among these Nathan Smith and his extended family from Moore County, North Carolina. Wofford’s Tract, as it turned out, was largely in the disputed territory and the settlers could not obtain a clear title to the land. Those farmers who had clear titles soon found out that the Franklin County soil was full of boulders and small rocks that had tumbled down the landscape from the Appalachian Mountains over the course of many centuries. These settlers began to look elsewhere, more notably in the Mississippi Territory, to resettle.

On April 14, 1804, William Nathaniel Wofford, William Washington Wofford, Lewis Jones, Lewis Dickenson, Caleb Dickenson, Nathan Horn, James Maxwell, and Samuel Hollingsworth requested a passport to travel with their families “across the Cumberland Mountains with their families…through the Cherokee Nation.” We believe their mission was to find new and better land and that their journey carried them to the Mississippi Territory. Residents of Franklin County, Georgia who certified that they were all “honest men and good citizens” included Stephen Smith, Elijah Maxwell, Benson Henry, Jesse Maxwell, and Isham Smith.

In the Fall of 1810 more than 60 Franklin County families, including those of Jesse Maxwell and Isaac Hollingsworth abandoned their lands in Franklin County. Many set out for Franklin, Tennessee. It is there, it is believed, that they built rafts and slipped these into the Little Tennessee River. Their float trip carried them on a long winding northwesterly trip that took them first into the Tennessee River and then the Ohio River before they reached the Mississippi River near Cairo, Illinois. Then they floated to Natchez, abandoned their rafts and traveled overland on the Old Stephens Road to Franklin and Marion Counties, Mississippi. Marion County would soon be divided to create Lawrence County and that is where we find Jesse and Thomas Maxwell, many of the Smiths, Caleb and Lewis Dickinson, and Isaac Hollingsworth by the year 1815.

Osborne Keziah [Female] b. 1 NOV 1674 England - d. 9 JUL 1736 Middlesex, Va

Keziah's Emigration (age 11): Worked as a servant on the Steven and Edward ship and arrived in the Virginia Colony on 4 November 1685/1686. Due to her young age, this may indicates that Kezia was possibly an orphan at the time of her emigration. In Virginia, Kezia was indentured to Reverand Duel Pead who was designated for service in the colonies in 1683 and was the clergyman who served in Virginia. There is some uncertainty over Keziah's maiden name which has been indicated as both Osborne and Williamson. The confusion is possibly caused by the fact that after the marriage of Edward Ball and Keziah, they were paid by Christ Church Parish for the care and housing of Charity Williamson, an elderly woman, until Williamson's death. According to Christ Church Parish Vestry Records, Edward Ball also served as sexton of the Middle Chapel of Christ Church Parish from 1714 until his death in 1726. After Edward's death Keziah took over Edward's duties as sexton.

Christ Church was the focal point for the Church of England in the mid-1600s for the colonies. Unlike church records in surrounding parishes where records were later destroyed, Christ Church Parish has an ancient vestry book dating to 1666.

There was also a Robert Osborne who arrived in Virginia in 1685 which warrants further research to see if this is possibly a brother of Keziah.
