I have learned that Thomas Maxwell and his wife, Martha Raulston, may have left Ireland in 1849. That date is stated in a newspaper article about his son's death (Samuel Maxwell, b1841 d 1905) as being the date they left Ireland and came to the U.S. Given other information in his diary and letters, they probably landed in Boston.

Hi Dan,
I'm sorry I haven't sent you the information via Email that I promised. It seems I deleted my old Email and neglected to pull out the addresses I had from the archives. If you would kindly send me your address at ancestor25@gmail.com, I will glady write down all details info re Thomas and Martha and their family. My grandfather wrote in his letters to my grandmother about Tom's children. In fact Matilda lived with him for a while. I would also love to read the newspaper article. I found their immigration record as well.
Hope to hear from you soon.
