Notes:
Potential children of Mary and Shadrack under review:
 1. Gideon Maxey (c1782-)
 2. James Maxey (c1788-)
 3. Mary "Polly" Maxey (c1796-)
 4. Elizabeth Maxey (c1800-)

Disproven / Erroneous Child:

  • Esther Maxey (1776–1818), m. Hardeman Cruise (1755–1812): Frequently attached in online trees as a daughter of Shadrack Maxey Sr. and Mary Crews. Disproven on chronological grounds: Esther’s recorded birth year (1776) predates Shadrack & Mary’s c. 1780 marriage and would make Mary only ~12 years old at Esther's birth. Additionally, Hardeman Cruise (b. 1755) was a contemporary of Mary’s generation, born nearly a decade before her.
