- His son Eumerus or Aymer de Maxwell, under the designation of Homer Maxwell, is witness in the reign of Alexander II., in a donation of the kirks of Dundonald and Sunquhar to Paisley, by Walter the Great Steward. By his marriage with Mary, daughter and heiress of Roland de Mearns, he obtained the lands and baronies of Mearns and Nether Pollock, in Renfrewshire, and Dryps and Calderwood in Lanarkshire. He was one of the councilors or in the household of the young king, and in 1255, he and Mary his wife, with the Comyns, John de Baliol, Robert de Ros, and others, were removed by Henry, king of England, to make way for Neill, earl of Carrick, Robert de Burs, William de Duneglas, and others of the English party. He was sheriff of Dumfries-shire, and great-chamberlain of Scotland. In 1258, with other barons he engaged that the Scots should not make peace with the English without the consent of the Welsh. In 1265, he was justiciary of Galloway. He had three sons: Sir Herbert, his successor; Sir John, to whom he gave the lands of Nether Pollock in Renfrewshire, and who was the founder of the family of that designation, baronets of 1682; and Alexander, of whom nothing is known.
