"The ancient and honorable house of Maxwell, so conspicuously
connected with the history of Scotland, and considered one of the most
distinguished in North Britain, is generally believed to have been founded
by Maccus, son of Undwyn, in the twelfth century.
"There is
another tradition regarding the founder of the family-
that Maccus was the son of Anlaf, King of Northumbria, 940 A. D., and
that descendants of Maccus, with fourteen other families, retired into
Scotland when England submitted to William the Conqueror, 1066.
"The name
Maxwell, or Maccus, is of Saxon origin, according to
some authorities, who think it is derived from Maccus — or Maxen — an
ancient town of Saxony. Maccuswell, meaning Maccus's well, or pool,
was the first form of the name.
The name which
began as Maccuswell, or
Macceswell. became in
course of time Maxwell, the transition being a natural one.
"The son
of Maccus was Sir Herbert de Maccuswell. His son was
John de Maccuswell, great chamberlain of Scotland, and Sheriff of
Roxburghshire from 1203 to 1207. He was succeeded by his brother,
Sir Aymer de Maccuswell. Lord of Caerlaverock, who in the time of
Alexander III was justiciary of Galloway. He left two sons. Sir Her-
bert and Sir John. From Sir Herbert sprang the Lords Maxwell, Earls
of Nithsdale; from Sir John, the Maxwells of Calderwood. of Pollock,
of Cardoness,and the Barons and Earls of Farnham.
"It was
Sir Herbert, son of Maccus. who was the first to adopt the
name in its present form — Maxwell. This was in the twelfth centurv,
and Maxwell is therefore one of the first surnames assumed in Scotland,
surnames not being generally adopted until the twelfth century."

Augusta County was formed in 1738 from Orange County, although county government was not organized until 1745. It was named for Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, Princess of Wales and mother of the future King George III of the United Kingdom.
Originally, Augusta County was a vast territory with an indefinite western boundary. Most of what is now West Virginia as well as all of Kentucky were formed from it, and it also claimed the territory north and west of those areas, theoretically all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
