I am the great granddaughter of Charlie Maxwell. Charlie was an inventor and did a great deal of work with the tobacco machines which basic plan is still being used today, but w/ more technology added. He married Katie Manus and had one child, who is my grandmother. They did divorce, and he did not remarry. He died from cancer of the jaw some years later. I know his folks owned the plantation Browns Summit in NC. The plantation home is still there, and seems that one of the cousins lives in it. I am not sure on this or the realtion. Hope this helps.
