New Material for The MAXEYS of VirginiaA little historyIn 1980 and 1987, Edythe Maxey Clark published the first two editions of her book, The MAXEYS of Virginia: A Genealogical History of the Descendants of Edward and Susannah Maxey. In 2000, she published the third edition of the book, by then commonly known as "TMOV". The book is now out of print and no reprints or future editions will be available. In 2003, with Mrs. Clark's permission, I put the third edition on CD to have it once again available to the family. The CD contains some additional material not in the printed book. Both book and CD had a common difficulty. In large families, a child's biographical sketch can be located quite a few pages from the parents' sketch, making it inconvenient to find. To alleviate this problem, I've created a supplementary index to the sketches, ordered by sketch number. This Biographical Sketch Index was added to the CD, starting in November 2008. The subsequent CDs are called "CD Version 2". A description of this sketch index has been added to Mrs. Clark's original announcement of the CD. These web pagesThe purpose of these web pages is to provide, as much as possible, the owners of the printed books and earlier CD with the latest information. The following web pages may be viewed, downloaded as *.zip files, and used on a PC or simply printed. Please select from the following links:
AcknowledgmentOn behalf of the Maxey family I would like to thank Edythe Maxey Clark for over three decades of research to reconstruct our history. Few families have such well documented genealogy. Her work will benefit all our generations to come. My thanks also to Barty Bryant, Donna K. (Moseley) Crumb and Roger Rigney for helping prepare the CD and to David V. Maxey for the Rocky Oak Church photographs. Having our history in electronic form will keep it available for our descendants. For these online pages I had the assistance of Donna K. (Moseley) Crumb and Terri Maxey Allshouse. Thanks for your helpful critique and proofing. Sincerely,
H. David Maxey
