I quote from my great great grandmother’s memories :”met and married James
Maxwell of Dumfries (a scion of the Clan Maxwell). The marriage was not
favoured by the Clan, because of social distinctions of the day.”
Mary Stevenson married James Maxwell in Birmingham England on 27 August
1839 and they emigrated to NZ aboard the Aurora leaving London 18 September
1839. What is a scion of the clan?
