Personal Info
The Maxwells claim as their founder Maccus, a witness as 'fllius Undweyn' to the Inquisitio Davidis about 1116, and later as 'fllius Undwain' to a grant of King David I to Melrose Abbey in Roxburghshire. He probably gave his name to the lands of Maccuswell (Maxwell) and Maccustoun (Maxton) in the same shire. In William the Lion's reign Liulph, styled son of Maccus, had a son Uchtred and a daughter Cecilia (with lands in Maccustoun), wife of Robert de Berkeley, and Edmund of Macheswel (perhaps another son of Maccus) witnessed a charter of the above-named Uchtred.5
