Descendents say David Rumph Maxwell (1832 AL - 1908 TX) was born Dallas Co., AL.Thomas David and Sarah (Maxwell) RUMPH owned lots of land in Dallas Co. beginning about 1821.Joseph Maxwell (1783 SC-1866 AL)who was Sarah's brother, was in the 1830 Census of Dallas Co. but it showed no male child the age of David. James W. Maxwell (abt 1790 SC -1845 AL), another brother, was in Dallas Co. in the 1840 Census living near the Rumphs.They did have a child David's age but he was James Franklin Maxwell born 1832 in SC. That family lived in Wilcox Co. shortly before James W. died.Another brother was Charles Henry Maxwell.General Land Office records show he received land in 1832 in Pickens Co., AL.We should consider that David Rumph Maxwell was the son of Charles Henry. Also the 1900 Census shows David, his wife Mary Jane (STEWART) and family.Sarah BREWER, widowed sister of David was living with them.Alabama Marriages shows Sarah Maxwell married George Brewer in 1839 in Dallas Co.
