James Buchanan (J.B.) Maxwell
was born in slavery in 1854 in Flat Rock, North Carolina. After Emancipation, J.B. and his family walked to Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, to be reunited with family members who had been sold to South Carolina owners.

Around 1873, he graduated from Charleston’s Avery Institute and later used his education to help his community. He insisted on the proper use of English and helped locals read their mail and legal documents.

He voted when few other blacks did at that time. When J.B. was called as a witness, he shocked the courtroom lawyer by proving that he could read, and he understood who and what he was voting for.

He was the first black notary public in the Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina area around 1931. One surviving notarized document is for a widow’s pension for her husband who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. He died in 1940.
