Notes	There is no proof of the birth date of Edward Maxey. I found this date in one data source. 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! ------------------------------------------------------------ [Br?derbund WFT Vol. 9, Ed. 1, Tree #2839, Date of Import: May 20, 1998] 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].
