Descendants of John Maxfield
of Salisbury, Massachusetts
Sixth Generation
DUDLEY6 MAXFIELD (Eliphalet5-4-3, Nathaniel2, John1) was born at Mount Vernon, Maine, on 3 August 1812 (NMGR 8:18), a child of Eliphalet Maxfield and his wife Judith Alley. (NOTE: Harry Dana French, in his Descendants of John Maxfield of Salisbury, Mass. listed Dudley Maxfield born about 1800 in Maine, a child of Samuel5 Maxfield the son of Dudley4 Maxfield More study is needed. If anyone has information that can help clear up this confusion, please contact me,
Charles A. Maxfield).
According to French, Dudley Maxfield came to Argyle, Maine as a young man, and made his home there (F). At some time, probably before 1833, Dudley Maxfield married SALLY AYERS of Argyle (NMGR 7:64). Sally was born at Mount Vernon, Maine, about 1812/3 (1850 census). The Dudley P. Maxfield family was reported at Argyle Plantation, Maine, in the 1840 Census (149:197), consisting of an adult couple in their 30s, and a boy and a girl under 5. This corresponds to the information we have from other sources on this family.
Dudley Maxfield probably died before 1850, as he was not mentioned in that Census. Sally Maxfield was reported in a large household at Argyle (266:255) headed by W. Ayers Lamb, and consisting of six persons surnamed Lamb, four surnamed Maxfield, and three surnamed Ayers. The Maxfields were as follows:
