MAXFIELD GENEALOGY IN AMERICA

I have undertaken a Maxfield surname genealogy for two reasons:

1. Tracing genealogy is like unwinding a tangled ball of yarn. Each strand that I can identify and isolate, the easier it is to untangle the other strands. I can better trace my own Maxfield line as I identify other lines.

2. What would be most helpful to someone just beginning to research their Maxfield ancestors? If you don't know from which line your Maxfield ancestors came, a website that covers all Maxfield lines will be most helpful.

What a surname genealogy offers in breadth it lacks in depth. You need to look upon this genealogy as an outline. You need to fill in the details and make needed corrections. Much of the information on these pages comes from census records and other information on the internet. These suggest but do not prove relationships. A good genealogist will go the next step and consult vital records and probate records to confirm, complete, or correct what is suggested by the census records. I have neither the time nor the money to do this for all branches of the Maxfields.

I include links to other Maxfield genealogy pages on the internet. If you prepare such a page, please let me know, and I will put a link to your website on my website. If you have information to correct or add to what I have, please share it with me. If you have questions, please contact me

Go to the Maxfield Genealogy Outline Index Go to the FIND tool on your browser. Type in the name of a Maxfield ancestor, or a date, and search for it.

Use your FIND tool on this page to search for the state, county, city or town in which your Maxfield ancestor lived.

Following are the 72 Maxfield lines in America for which I have at least 20 names in my database (excluding fragments of lines for which I have no record prior to 1930). I have listed the twenty-two lines that can be traced to an immigrant (or a person claimed to be child of an immigrant) in chronological order of immigration. The remaining "fragments" of lines I have listed in order of size, with the number of persons in my database belonging to each line. I welcome any information that can help me to link any of these lines, or to fill in more details.

1. Clement Maxfield (-1692), Immigrant probably from England, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, by 1639. (354 people).

By the third generation, Clement's descendants were located in two places that I know of: Dorchester, MA, and Bristol, RI. I cannot trace the Dorchester-Roxbury branch of the family beyond the mid-Nineteenth Century. Descendants were numerous in the three towns of Bristol County, RI (Bristol, Barrington, Warren). Several descendants were found in nearby communities (Providence, Smithfield, East Providence, North Providence, Cranston and Warwick, RI, and Rehoboth, MA). One branch of the family moved to Whiteside County, IL, and from there spread to Rock Island and Peoria counties. Other branches of the family settled in Iowa (Clinton, Woodbury, Cerro Gordo and Scott counties), New York (Albany County and Brooklyn), Washington (Pierce County), and California (Solano and San Joaquin counties).

Most of William's descendants have lived in the East Texas counties of Smith and Van Zandt. Some have lived in other Texas counties (Henderson, Hopkins, Red River, Wood, Kaufman, Rusk, McLennan, Grayson, Randall), and in Oklahoma (Osage and Choctaw counties).
Probably related in some way to William M. Maxfield, of Texas, is

• # 42 Fred D. Maxfield.

9. Richard Maxfield, Immigrant from England, of Prince Edward Island by 1818. (1298 people).

Much of this family was described on the website of Gregory Maxfield. However I can no longer find that website. Most of the information can be located on the Latter Day Saints genealogy website.
Of the four descendants in the third generation who carried on the family name, John Ellison travelled with the Latter Day Saints to Salt Lake County, UT, Richard and William travelled as far west as Pottawattamie County, IA, and Timothy remained in Canada.

• The numerous descendants of John Ellison Maxfield settled principally in Salt Lake County, UT. They also spread out to other parts of Utah (Juab, Weber, Millard, Utah, Wayne, Tooele, Emery, Carbon, Grand, Piute, Sanpete, and Duchesne counties), to the neighboring states of Idaho (Oneida, Bannock, Bonneville and Jefferson counties), Montana (Jefferson County), Wyoming (Uintah County), Oregon (Union and Multnomah counties) Washington (King, Kittitas, Skagit and Spokane County) and Nevada (Lincoln County) and beyond (Los Angeles, San Diego and Inyo Counties, CA, Saint Louis, MO, and Douglas County, NE).
• Most of the descendants of William Maxfield remained in Pottawatammie County, IA. Some moved to Nebraska (Saline and Douglas Counties), to other Iowa locations (Hardin and Harrison Counties), and to Wyandotte County, KS.

• Timothy Maxfield's descendants moved west, settling in Alberta and British Columbia, one going south to Orange County, CA.

10. James Maxfield (1800-1841), Immigrant, in Shenandoah County, Virginia by 1820. (21 people).

James Maxfield by 1830 had settled in Franklin County, OH. His descendants lived in Warren County, IA and Vermilion and Champaign counties, IL.

11. Chauncy Maxfield (1820-aft 1880), from Columbia County, New York, of Lapeer County, Michigan, by 1840, son of an immigrant from Ireland. (101 people).

Most of Chauncy Maxfield's descendants lived in Lapeer County, MI, some lived in other Michigan counties (Emmet, Wayne, Genesee, Oakland, Sanilac) and one went to Hennepin County, MN.

12. John B. Maxfield (1837-aft 1920), from Ohio, son of an immigrant from England, of Bureau County, IL, by 1860, and of Kaufman County, Texas, by 1880. (72 people).

13. William Maxfield (1779-1855), Immigrant from England, of Brooklyn, New York by 1850. (95 people).

His son, John G. Maxfield, moved from Brooklyn, NY, to Bloomfield, Essex County, NJ. Most of his descendants lived in Essex County, NJ, with some settling in other New Jersey counties (Union, Passaic, Morris), and other states (Springfield and Longmeadow, MA, Blair County, PA, New Castle County, DE, Kiowa County, OK, and Los Angeles County, CA). There are other Maxfield immigrants from England living in proximity to this family in northern New Jersey. This suggests a relationship which I have not determined. See

• # 14 John, Joseph and Charles Maxfield, and
• # 19 William Maxfield

14. John (abt 1810-aft 1880), Joseph (abt 1814-1904) and Charles Maxfield (abt 1830-aft 1880), perhaps brothers, immigrants to Morris County, NJ, by 1850, 1860 and 1860. (43 people)

I have no proof that John, Joseph and Charles were brothers. They all were from England, and settled in the same area at about the same time, which suggests that they may have been related. John and Joseph lived at Pequannock Township and Boonton, Charles lived at Hanover Township and Pompton. Their descendants were found in Livingston Township, Orange, East Orange, Irvington, and Cedar Grove Township.

15. Heinrich Maxfield, Immigrant from Germany, came to Texas in 1855 (22 people)

Heinrich's family settled in San Antonio, Texas.

Roger lived in Champaign County, Illinois, Ford and Gray counties, Kansas, and San Diego County, California. His son remained in Gray County, Kansas. Nelson Maxfield's descendants lived in Tilman County, OK, and in Baylor, Wilbarger and Hill counties, TX.

18. Henry Maxfield (1825/6-1877), Immigrant from England to Chicago, Illinois, by 1860. (18 people).

Henry's sons moved to Jersey City, NJ, Hackensack, NJ, and Brooklyn, NY (does this point to a connection with Maxfield lines #13, #14, or #19?)

19. William Maxfield (abt 1843/4-aft 1870), Immigrant, to Boonton, NJ, by 1870. (41 people).

William's son John moved to Milton, Northumberland County, PA, in the vicinity of which most of his descendants have lived.

20. Agnes G. (_____) (Maxfield) (Walton) (b. 1852 IL) of Philadelphia, PA, wife of Immigrant before 1873. (12 people).

21. Henry Maxfield (b. 1849) Immigrant from England in 1873 to Brooklyn, NY. (18 people).

George² Maxfield (George¹) moved from Fayette to Boone County, KY, then to Macoupin County, IL. Many of his descendants remained in Macoupin County. Others moved to other Illinois locations (Greene, Scott, Piatt, Champaign, Saint Clair and Macon counties), and to Missouri (Saint Clair and Pike counties), Kansas (Atchison County), Nebraska (Cass, Box Butte, Saline, Lancaster and Red Willow counties), Washington (King and Spokane counties), Oregon (Malheur County), Idaho (Canyon County), California (Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties) and Wyoming (Carbon County).
Robert² Maxfield (George¹) moved from Boone County, KY, to Christian County, IL, where many of his descendants remained. Other moved to Indiana (Knox, Wabash and Elkhart counties).
Moses² Maxfield (George¹) moved from Boone County, KY, to Randolph County, MO, where many of his descendants remained. Others moved on to Blaine County, OK, and Hamilton County, KS.
Many family members believe that George W.³ Maxfield (perhaps Robert², George¹) belongs in this family. He migrated from Gallatin County, KY, to Sacramento County, CA, where most of his descendants have lived. One line moved to El Dorado County, CA.

24. John Maxfield (m. 1768), James Maxfield (m. bef 1773), and Samuel Maxfield (m. abt 1779) perhaps brothers. (395 people).

James and Samuel came from Dutchess County, NY; John and James late in life lived at Minden, Montgomery County, NY. Their relationships are not proven.

• John Maxfield, of Dutchess and Montgomery counties, NY, had many descendants in Monroe County, NY, with some going to Michigan (Van Buren and Saint Joseph counties)
• James Maxfield of Montgomery and Herkimer counties, NY, had many descendants in these two counties, and many other descendants in Fulton, Yates, Ontario, and Steuben counties, NY. Other descendants found their way to other parts of New York (Chenango, Livingston, Monroe and Otsego counties), Iowa (Bremer County), Minnesota (Olmstead and Hennepin counties), Wisconsin (Rock County), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia and Delaware counties), and California (Alameda and Los Angeles counties).
• Samuel Maxfield of Dutchess County, New York, had descendants in Dutchess and Columbia counties, NY, and Litchfield County, CT.

Several other lines, which are first found in Montgomery and Herkimer counties, New York, are probably related in some way to this line. These include:

• # 37 Justin Maxfield,
• # 38 widow Sary Maxfield.

Several fragments of lines move around a five county area of Dutchess and Columbia counties, NY, Fairfield and Litchfield counties, CT, and Berkshire County, MA. Many, but probably not all, of the following are perhaps related to each other, and perhaps to some in the Montgomery-Herkimer counties group:

• # 25 Samuel Maxfield
• # 30 John Benjamin Maxfield
• # 56 George Maxfield
• # 64 Eber Maxfield
• # 65 Ichabod Maxfield
• # 68 George A. Maxfield
• # 69 William Maxfield

It is possible that the following fragment in upstate New York is in someway derived from the lines in the Montgomery-Herkimer group or the Dutchess-Columbia-Fairfied-Litchfield-Berkshire group:

• # 71 Albert Maxfield of Delaware County

25. Samuel Maxfield (abt 1808-aft 1880), from Dutchess County, New York. (310 people).

Samuel Maxfield lived in Tyringham, MA, in 1850, in Great Barrington, MA, 1855-1861, and in Meriden, CT, in 1880. His descendants lived in those towns and in Winchester, Bristol, and New Haven, CT, and the Queens section of New York City.
James Louis Maxfield (abt 1838/9-7 Jun 1924), of Oconto County, Wisconsin, and Russell County, Virginia could possibly be a child of Samuel. James had two families. One remained in Oconto County, WI, and Ontonagon County, MI. Most of his second family lived in Russell County, VA, with some scattering to nearby Virginia counties (Dickenson, Wise, Lee, Tazewell), and to Bristol, TN.

26. Hiram Maxfield (1808-aft 1880), from Tennessee, of Saint Clair County, Illinois, by 1842. (191 people).

Much of this family is describe in well documented detail at

Descendants of Hiram T. Maxfield

http://www.archeryshop.com/Maxfield-Reunion/genealogy/Hiram%20T%20Maxfield.pdf

Hiram had moved to Sutter County, CA, by 1880. Hiram's son Ephraim, settled in Benton County, OR, where most of his descendants lived. Some moved to other Oregon counties (Multnomah, Tillamook, Polk, Yamhill, Lane), and to Modoc County, CA.

27. John Maxfield, of Wayne County, Kentucky, in 1810. (179 people).

John Maxfield appeared in Stonelick Township, Clermont County, OH in the 1840 Census, and was joined there by George Maxfield in the 1850 Census. The proximity in age, state of birth, and residence, suggest a relationship, perhaps the children of John Maxfield of Wayne County.

• John Maxfield's descendants lived in Clermont County, OH, Indiana (Johnson, Porter, Marion and Hancock counties), Illinois (Cook, County), Minnesota (Faribault County), and Utah (Salt Lake County).
• George Maxfield's descendants lived in Clermont County, OH, Campbell County, KY, Lee County, IA, and other locations (Clinton County, OH, Saline, Gallatin and Hancock counties, IL, Coffee and Davidson counties, TN, and Carroll County and Saint Louis, MO)

28. Derias Maxfield , of Pennsylvania, father of Samuel W. Maxfield (1829-1914) from Lancaster County, Pa, of Pendleton County, Kentucky, by 1854. (117 people).

Samuel W. Maxfield lived in Pendleton County, KY (1880), Franklin County, MO (1900) and Bracken County, KY (1910). His descendants lived in Kentucky (Trimble and Bracken counties), Missouri (Franklin County), Illinois (Champlain, McLean and Clinton counties), Ohio (Clermont County), and Indiana (Jefferson County).

29. Jefferson Maxfield (abt 1815-aft 1870), of Marshall County, Alabama (1850) and White County, Illinois (1870). (115 people).

Most of Jefferson's descendants lived in Illinois (White, Saline, Gallatin and Champaign counties) and Arkansas (Craighead, Greene and Poinsett counties). A few moved to major cities, Saint Louis, Seattle, and Detroit.

30. John Benjamin Maxfield (1819-aft 1900), Norman Maxfield (abt 1816-aft 1880), and Ames Maxfield (abt 1812-1910) apparent brothers, from Columbia County, New York, of Milwaukee, WI, and Branch County, MI. (110 people).

Detailed information on the descendants of John Benjamin Maxfield's grandson Morgan Eugene Maxfield can be found at:

Descendants of E.A. Maxfield
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/i/l/Janice-C-Williford-TX/GENE1-0001.html

• Ames Maxfield lived in Milwaikee. His one son moved to Buchanan County, IA, and later returned to Milwaukee.
• Norman Maxfield and his son lived in Branch County, MI.
• John Benjamin Maxfield settled in Milwaukee, WI, where most of his descendants lived, a few moving to other locations (Oneida and Marathon counties, WI, Cook County, IL, Tompkins County, NY, Allegheny County, PA).

31. Eliphalet Maxfield (abt 1775-), from New Hampshire, of North Hero, Vermont, by 1840. (100 people).

Based on his state of birth and his first name, Eliphalet was probably descended in some way from John Maxfield of Salisbury, MA (Line #2), however no one to my knowledge has found the connection. One family member has found evidence which indicates that Eliphalet was probably the father of Nathan Maxfield (abt 1799-abt 1855). All of Eliphalet's descendants, of which I have knowledge, are traced through Nathan, who was in Clinton County, NY in 1840, and Franklin County, NY in 1850. Many of his descendants settled in Saint Lawrence County, NY. Others went on to other New York counties (Madison and Niagara), to Michigan (Oakland County), South Dakota (Spink and Grant counties), Illinois (Kane County), Wisconsin (Jackson County), and California (Los Angeles County).

32. Hiram (abt 1806-aft 1870) and Vernis Maxfield (abt 1808-aft 1880), apparently brothers from New Hampshire, of Oakland County, Michigan, by 1840. (85 people).

Hiram and Vernis were born in New Hampshire, as were Vernis' parents. Therefore the odds are in favor of their being descended from John Maxfield of Salisbury, MA (line #2)--but I have no evidence. They lived in Oakland County, then Genesee County, MI. Most of their descendants lived in Genesee and Lapeer counties, with a few in other Michigan counties (Muskegon and Alpena).

33. John Maxfield, of Bradford County, PA, by 1812. (79 people).

Some of John's descendants lived in Bradford and Susquehanna counties, PA. One branch moved to Whiteside County, IL, and from there to Henry County, IL, Kenosha County, WI, and Linn County, IA.

34. William Maxfield (b. abt 1802/3), of Butler county, Ohio, by 1850.. (71 people).

William, born at Maryland, was perhaps the son of William Maxfield (b. bet 1760 and 1770) who settled in Butler County, Ohio by 1820. William (b. abt 1802/3) had at least five sons: Joel, William, Orange, Charles, and Samuel. Most of their descendants settled in Allen County, IN, with some moving to Marion, Johnson and DeKalb counties.

35. Bagin Maxfield (abt 1815-bef 1859), of Pasquotank County, North Carolina. (69 people).

Begin Maxfield, from North Carolina, was reported in Pasquotank County in the 1850 Census. His son James moved west to Sangamon County, IL, and then to Foster County, ND. The descendants of James lived in Sangamon County, IL, Foster County, ND, and in Minnesota (Wadena, Ramsey and Washington counties).

36. William Maxfield (abt 1824/5-bef 1900), from Jackson County, Tennessee, of Vermillion County, Indiana, by 1880. (65 people).

William and most of his descendants lived in Vermillion County, IN. Some settled in Kentucky (Crittenden, Muhlenburg, Livingston, and McCracken counties).

37. Justin Maxfield (a.k.a. Chester Maxfield) (1806-1886), of Herkimer County, New York. (64 people).

Most of Justin/Chester's descendants lived in Herkimer County, NY, with a few moving to the nearby counties of Madison and Oneida.

38. widow Sary Maxfield (b. 1790/1800), of Herkimer County, New York. (63 people).

The early Maxfield relationships are not proven. Stephen, Ephraim, and Robert could possibly be brothers and children of Sary. Stephen's descendants lived in Herkimer, Oswego, Onondaga and Jefferson counties, NY, and San Juan County, WA. Ephraim moved to Oswego County, NY, where some of his descendants lived. One moved to Connecticut, and then to Florida.

39. Charles Maxfield (1875-bef 1910) of Trigg County, KY. (54 people)

Charles' descendants lived in Crittenden and Hopkins counties, KY.

40. George Maxfield (1781/2-aft 1870), African American, of Lancaster County, PA. (53 people).

According to family tradition, George was the son of a white Quaker Maxfield of Philadelphia, and his black slave, to whom he granted freedom and land in Lancaster County. Most of George's descendants lived in southern Lancaster County (Little Britain Twp), southern Chester County (Kennett Square and Avondale), Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and New York City.
This is the largest line of African American Maxfields identified so far. I have over 610 African Americans in my Maxfield database, which is 4.3% of the total. Most of the African American Maxfields lived in the states of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, with the greatest concentration in Kennet Square (Chester County), PA, Harford County, MD, Baltimore and Philadelphia. However other families are scattered across the United States, and several point to origins in Tennessee or South Carolina. Probably many of these families are related, especially those between Philadelphia and Baltimore. I can share my information with other researchers and welcome any further information on African American Maxfields.

41. Darius Maxfield (bet 1800-1810-aft 1841), of Hamilton County, Ohio, by 1836. (50 people)

Darius and his descendants lived in Hamilton County, Ohio.

42. Fred D. Maxfield (1912-1985) of Smith County, Texas. (45 people)

Considering the location, he is probably descended in someway from William M. Maxfield, line # 8, but I don't know the connection. He and his descendants lived in Smith County, with one going to Houston.

43. Nancy Maxfield (aft 1782-aft 1860), African American, of Harford County, MD. (43 people).

Nancy Maxfield was born in Maryland; she and her descendants lived in Harford County.

44. Harry Charles Maxfield (1876-aft 1910), from Wisconsin, of Mississippi County, AR, by 1895 (40 people)

Harry married at Mississippi County, AR in 1895, and resided there in 1900. He lived at Poinsett County, AR, in 1910. His son Leroy lived at Seminole and Cimarron Counties, OK.

The following are short lines, with from 20 to 40 persons in my database. They are probably linked in one way or another to larger lines, or to each other. I welcome any information on them, and will share with persons from these families the information which I have.

45. George W. Maxfield (abt 1830-aft 1880), from Tennessee, of Crawford County, Arkansas, by 1850. (39 people).

George W. Maxfield was reported in Smith County, TN, in the 1870 census, but back in Crawford County, AR, in 1880. His descendants lived in Crawford and Sebastian counties, AR.

46. Ambrose B. Maxfield (abt 1809/10-aft 1880) of South Amboy, New Jersey by 1840. (38 people).

48. Susan (abt 1769/70-aft 1850), widow of an unidentified Maxfield, born in Pennsylvania, living with her probable grandson, John W. Maxfield, in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1850. (35 people).

John's descendants lived in Baltimore, MD.

49. Amiza Maxfield (abt 1805-aft 1860), from Pennsylvania, of Tuscarora County, OH, by 1831 (34 people).

Amiza "Emzy" Maxfield's descendants scattered to Iowa (Benton and Linn counties), Missouri (Buchanan County), Colorado (Routt County) and Washington (Cowlitz County).

50. William H. Maxfield (abt 1813-aft 1880) and possible brother Edward, from New York, of Erie County, OH, by 1840 (34 people).

William was reported at Erie County, OH, from 1840 to 1860, at Wood County, OH, in 1870, and at Powhatan County, VA, in 1880. Two of his sons remained in Erie County, OH, while a third moved to Prince William County, VA, and to Washington, DC.

51. Stephen Maxfield, perhaps Immigrant or child of an immigrant, of Northampton County, VA, born about 1660. (29 people)

Stephen could be the child of John Maxfield who immigrated to Virginia in 1638, or of Alexander Maxfield, resident in Northampton County by 1655. Stephen could possibly be the ancestor of other Maxfields reported in Talbot and Kent Counties, Maryland, Delaware, and Chester County, Pennsylvania.

52. Jenkins H. Maxfield (b. abt 1823 GA), probably Cherokee, of Indian Territory by 1874. (29 people).

53. Lucien Maxfield (abt 1814-aft 1880), from New Hampshire, who lived in various locations in Maine. (28 people)

George's descendants lived in Berkshire County, MA, and Litchfield and Hartford counties, CT, concentrated in New Hartford, CT.

57. Matthew Maxfield (abt 1810-aft 1880), African-American, of Talbot County, Maryland. (25 people).

Matthew Maxfield was reported in the 1870 Census--the first census after emancipation--living with his son Moses in Talbot County, MD. Matthew's descendants lived in Talbot County and in Baltimore, MD, and in the Bronx, NY.

58. John B. Maxfield (abt 1796/7-1875), from New Hampshire, of Craftsbury, Vermont, by 1828. (25 people)

Considering his state of birth, John is probably descended in some way from line # 2, John Maxfield of Salisbury, Massachusetts. However I do not know a connection. He lived in Craftsbury, Vermont. His descendants moved to Iowa (Chickasaw, Pottawattamie, Black Hawk, and Bremer counties).

59. Benjamin Maxfield (1812-1866) of New Bedford, Massachusetts. (23 people).

As Benjamin Maxfield came from New Bedford, MA, the odds favor his descent from John Maxfield of Salisbury, MA. However I have not found the connection, and I have determined that the connection indicated by other researchers is incorrect. Benjamin and one son went to California (Yuba County), but his other descendants lived in New Bedford and in East Providence, RI.

60. Zephaniah Maxfield (abt 1810-aft 1870), from Pennsylvania, of Oldham County, KY, by 1850 (23 people)

Zephaniah and his descendants lived in Oldham County, KY.

Stafford lived in Hanover County, Virginia, at least by 1880. One son moved to New Kent County, Virginia. Another son moved to Brooklyn, New York.

63. George Maxfield (1904-1940), from TN, of Tulare Co., CA, by 1930. (23 people).

64. Eber Maxfield (b. abt 1766/7), of Danbury, CT, and Portage Co., OH. (22 people).

65. Ichabod Maxfield, of Salisbury, CT, in 1821 (22 people)

Ichabod's children lived at Oneida, Madison, and Orleans counties, NY, Sharon, CT, and Great Barrington, MA.

68. George A. Maxfield, b. 1848, Otis, MA. (22 people).

69. William Maxfield of Columbia County, New York, in 1810. (21 people)

This family is confusing because of the frequent shifts in the last name from Maxfield to Maxwell. Perhaps some generations changed their name from Maxfield to Maxwell. Most of Williams's descendants lived in Columbia County, NY, and Berkshire County, MA.

70. George W. Maxfield (1884-1947), of Franklin County, KY (20 people).

George lived in Scott County, KY, Hamilton County, OH, and Franklin County, KY.
