Note: James was enumerated in the 1850 census as being age 16. The census date in 1850 was 01 June, so that puts James' birth date between 02 June 1833 and 01 June 1834. James was listed in the 1860 mortality schedule as having died in January at age 26, so that puts his birth date between 01 February 1833 and 01 January 1834. Considering the overlap of these two possible birth date ranges, James would have been born between 02 June 1833 and 01 Feb 1834.

Montgomery, Friday Evening, July 3, 1868

A Sad Affair. -- A difficulty of some sort arose yesterday afternoon between a son of Mr. Isaac Maxwell, our city Marshall, and Mr. Dwynn, who lives in the Capital. Young Maxwell is a clerk in the post office, and is an excellent young man, and Mr. Dwynn, as far as we have heard, was a possible good citizen. Last night about 11, young Dwynn called at the house of Marshall Maxwell, it is supposed for young Maxwell. Marshall Maxwell was in bed, but went out and was immediately shot, one ball entering just above the navel, and one ball in the right shoulder. The pistol was so close to him, that his clothes were burnt. Both of the Dwynns are in prison. Marshal Maxwell is universally popular in Montgomery, and is one of our most upright citizens. He is in a most critical condition, but the whole city hopes that his life may be spared.

Montgomery, Monday Evening, July 6, 1868

Funeral of Mr. Maxwell. -- The large concourse of citizens who assembled in the First Baptist Church on yesterday, to witness the funeral services of the late City Marshall, and subsequently accompanied the remains to the grave, was an impressive recognition of the greatest esteem felt for him by the people of Montgomery and surrounding country. He commenced life in poverty and with but few friends; but by untiring energy and scrupulous honesty in all business and public transactions, he gradually accumulated a competency, and at the same time obtained the confidence and respect of the entire community. The circumstances of his sudden death were indeed lamentable. But his family have the satisfaction to know that he was blameless in the affair throughout, and that his deathbed was attended with the sincere sorrow of all who knew him when in public or private station. Mr. Maxwell was exceedingly charitable in his disposition, and many a poor person in the city profited by his generosity. The Society of Masons participated in the funeral ceremonies, and imparted additional interest to the occasion. Peace to his ashes, and green be the turf that grows over his grave.
