Descendants of John Maxfield
of Salisbury, Massachusetts
Sixth Generation


HARVEY6 MAXFIELD (William5, David4, Eliphalet3, Nathaniel2, John1) was born at Fairfax, Franklin County, Vermont, on 29 January 1797, a child of William Maxfield and his wife Abigail Belcher. He died at Bedford, Taylor County, Iowa, on 4 June 1873.[1] He married at Westford, Chittenden County, Vermont, on 6 October 1815 SOPHIA INGERSOLL,[2] who was born at Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut, on 8 June 1800, and died at Denver, Worth County, Missouri, on 20 September 1888.[3]

Harvey Maxfield served in the War of 1812, a private in Captain Josiah Grout's company of Vermont militia. He served for five days, 7 to 12 September, 1814, at ther Battle of Plattsburg.[4]

The 1820 Census reported the Harvey Maxfield family at Fairfax consisting of a man and a woman between 16 and 26, and a boy and a girl under 10. He was engaged in agriculture.[5]

Harvey Maxfield and his young family moved west, along with several of his siblings and their families. His daughter, Julia (Maxfield) Lamb recalled those days in a letter she wrote to a cousin in 1903:

Your Father + Mother [Gilbert and Amelia Maxfield] then living in Mt. Vernon visited Vermont Franklin Co. town of Fairfax in 1824 and induced nearly all the family to emigrate to Ohio then a new country, on the frontier. Our journey was a hard one then R.R. were unheard of. They hired teams to take us so far and then unload, procure another in like manner. The canal was being built most through N.Y. state. At Rochester we was set across above the falls by means of poles - and this way we traveled long weary days while now a few hours ride in splendid Coaches. That year Gen. Lafayette visited this country. He was in Albany N.Y. when we were there. My Father saw him as he landed from the boat as he came ashore a colored man his former servant took him in his arms carried him about so rejoiced at his meeting with him once again. Men and women wore Lafayette costumes in honor of the Man + General who so nobly assisted our Gen. Washington of sacred memory. I rode on the first steam boat on Robert Fulton, on her second trip from Buffalo to Cleveland. Robert Fulton was aboard. A gentleman asked him if he expected to succeed. His answer was succeed yes succeed. I noticed with childish curiosity as Mr. Fulton petted me during the entire trip though I think the boat landed us at Huron verses Cleveland where we took prarie schooners to Mt. Vernon over so many Corduroys we none of us was ever troubled with dyspepsia since.Albany[6]
FACT CHECK - Julia wrote this letter when she was 85 years old, recalling events when she was 7. Was her memory correct? The overland journey from Fairfax to Albany, Albany County, New York, would have been difficult. Lafayette did visit Albany on 12 September 1824, which fits the time of their journey. The Erie Canal had been completed as far as Brockport, Monroe County, New York, in the Rochester, Monroe County, area, in September 1823. So the family could have taken the Canal to the Rochester area. It's not clear from her letter just how they got from Rochester to Buffalo, Erie County, New York. Robert Fulton had died in 1815, so it must have been someone else petting her on the steamboat from Buffalo to Huron, Erie County, Ohio. Mount Vernon, Knox County, Ohio, is 76 miles due south of Huron, by today's roads - it probably was a very rough journey in those days.

Harvey Maxfield was involved in property transfers in Vermont, most of which relate to inherited property:

The 1830 Census reported the Harvey Maxfield family at Mount Vernon, consisting of a male and a female in their 30s (Harvey 32, Sophia 30), a male 15-19, a female 10-14 (Julia 12), a male 5-9 (Albert 10), a female 5-9 (Clarissa 5), and a male 0-4 (William 2).[11] The teenage boy could be another member of the extended family or a hired farm hand. Daughter Elizabeth had died in 1823, the year after her birth.

By 1840 they had moved to DeKalb County, Illinois, where the census reported Harvey in manufacture or trade. The household consisted of a male and female in their 40s and a male and female between 15 and 19.[12] Julia had married in 1838. Aldema, born in 1834, died the following year. So children who could have been at home were Albert, 20, Clarissa, 16, and William, 12.

The 1850 census reported the family at Sycamore, DeKalb County, as follows:[13]

Name Age Sex Occupation R.E. Birthplace Other
Harvey Maxfield 53 M farmer $3000 VT
Sophia Maxfield 49 F VT
Almena Maxfield 9 F IL school
Albert Fletcher 23 M cooper VT

Daughter Julia also lived at Sycamore, with her husband Daniel W. Lamb and five children.[14] Albert Maxfield was also at Sycamore with his wife Esther and four children.[15] William Maxfield also lived at Sycamore with his wife Elizabeth and son Adolphus.[16]

The 1860 Census reported Harvey Maxfield, 64, farmer, at Sycamore with Sophia Maxfield, 60, Harvey McCormick, 15, a grandson, attending school, and Susan Souel, 69, housekeeping.[17] Julia (Maxfield) Lamb also resided at Sycamore with her husband, D. W. Lamb, surveyor, and eight children.[18] Albert Maxfield, farmer, lived at Sycamore with his wife Esther and seven children.[19] Son William died on 1852 on the Plains on his way to the gold rush;[20] his widow, Elizabeth, married Thomas Ransom in 1854. In 1860 they had moved back to Liberty Township, Knox County; the family consisted of Thomas and Elizabeth, the two Maxfield boys, and two young Ransom girls from their new marriage.[21] Almina had just married in March of 1860, but by the time of the census they resided at Cox's Bar, Sierra County, California, where her husband Rufus Parker was a miner.[22]

In 1870 they were reported at Bedford Post Office, Benton Township, Taylor County:[23]

Name Age Sex Race Occupation R.E. P.E. Birth Other
Maxfield, Harvey 73 M W carpenter, retired $850 VT
Maxfield, Sophiah 70 F W keeping house CT

Son Albert Maxfield had moved to Taylor County some time between 1861 and 1865 - based on the birthplaces of his children. In 1870 Albert lived at Polk Township (Bedford Post Office), Taylor County, with his wife Ester and six children.[24] Julia (Maxfield) Lamb's family has also moved to Taylor County by 1870, where Daniel worked as a surveyor; they had five children at home.[25] Daughter Almena in 1870 lived at San Francisco, San Francisco County, California, where her husband Robert Parker worked as a house carpenter; with them were four children.[26] Grandson Adolphus Maxfield lived at Fillmore Township, Putnam County, Indiana, with his wife Eliza and son William.[27] Grandson Loranzo Maxfield lived at Jackson Township (Mansfield Post Office), Parke County, Indiana, with his wife Sarah.[28]

Harvey Maxfield died at Taylor County on 4 June 1873. In his will of 25 August 1852, with a codicile on 2 September 1869, Harvey left everything to his wife Sophia.[29]

Widow Sophia Maxfield was reported in the 1880 census living with her daughter Julia Lamb at Denver. With them were Julia's husband, Daniel, 71, farmer, and three Lamb children.[30] Albert Maxfield and family had moved to Kansas by 1875, and in 1880 resided at Solomons, Phillips County, Kansas, The family consisted of Albert and Esther, five children and two grandchildren.[31] Almena and her husband Rufus Parker were still at San Franciso, with seven children.[32] Grandson Adolphus had moved to Prairia Gregg, Vermillion Parish, Louisiana, where he lived with his wife and four children.[33] Grandson Lorenzo had moved to Richland, Republic County, Kansas, where he worked as a blacksmith and lived with his wife and three children.[34]

LETTERS
written by Julia (Maxfield) Lamb
to her cousin William Cullen Maxfield
in 1902 and 1903.
These letters are in the possession of Jack Billow of Plattsburgh, New York. He sent to me photocopies of the letters. I have inserted some punctuation, followed standard capitalization, and in a few cases corrected spelling. A few passages that remain unclear are probably the result of my failure to read her penmanship.
Denver, Mo., Aug 27, 1902
My dear lost but not forgotten cousin,
I assure you it was a pleasurable surprize to receive news that you and your brother Dorsey still survive. Although more than half a century has passed since we even heard from you, I have often wished to know what had become of the two interesting little Cousins that cheered the home of my dear Uncle Gilbert, my own dear Father's Brother. I had thought all his family dead. My Father your Uncle Harvey died at Bedford, Taylor Co., Io, June 3, 1823 Aged 75 y and 6 months. My Mother your Aunt Sophia Died in Denver, Worth Co., Mo., Sept. 20, 1888, she made a home with me 15 years after Father's death, but 2 of our family of 7 children survive. I have lost trace of my sister if living, So I may be alone, since we last met our lives have become a reality. I was married at Sycamore, DeKalb Co., Ill., March 16, 1838, to Daniel W. Lamb from Conn., who is now in his 94 year. I will be 85 in next Nov. 10, we still keep house. You + wife come take dinner with us and see what a pleasant home we have. Well about my family we were blessed with 11 children, 5 sons, 6 daughters. 2 sons died in infancy, lost our eldest son in the Army in '62. (O the grief of many a mother's heart) leaving two sons, one of which died Oct 5, 1882 in Denver, Mo, one on which we leaned in our declining years, he was unmarried. We have one son left to care for us. Fremont's family occupies part of the house, they have 6 children living two of which are married, they have one grandchild. They are called a model family which is true in every respect. My son has been an honored member of the Missouri legislature for two terms. I have daughters living, two living nearby us. Our farm lies adjoining a town of 4 or 5 hundred inhabitants a part of which is built on our land. We are 11 miles from 2 R. R. this is a good country where we raise in profusion every thing needed, good climate. The people are friendly and ready for any act of kindness. One of our neighbors Wm. Hendriks left here one year ago to settle in Columbus Ohio; they are fine people.
But my family: one of my daughters Mrs. Annie Chesbro lives in Conway, Iowa. My youngest daughter Mary E. Ormsby in Denver Coll has no children. All my children are married. I have 20 grandchildren, 35 great grandchildren, 3 great great grandchildren living.
My letter is disconnected but be patient.
Many thanks for wherabout of cousin families glad to hear of Abbie McWeights. I have often wondered what became of her she was very sick at Uncle Johns. I nursed the little babe which was the means in the hand of God in saving its young life that it might be the means of bringing many to the Saviour. God bless Rev. W. A. McWeight.
I expect the lady who called on your daughter was Uncle Johns granddaughter Virginia Maxfield daughter of Nelson Maxfield. Uncle Johns 3 son as I heard she had gone to Mich. Nelson oldest son J. Monroe went to the Medical College in Cincinnati and graduated over 40 years ago. The last I knew of him he had left Cincinnati and had charge of a hospital. I think his family can be found.
Our Uncle John Maxfield born in [?Oct 31 1791?] died at Sycamore DeKalb Co., Ill., May 25th, 1875 aged 85 years 11 mo + 14 days. Our Aunt Joanna Maxfield Died at Sycamore, DeKalb Co., June 21st 1878. She was born in Vermont March 4th 1799, they had 5 boys no girls, all dead. I think the Maxfield family in Iowa was Uncle Harry's. His son Chauncy settled in southern Minn he had a family of boys. Uncle Harry visited him years ago. Probably he founded the town of Maxfield, as he was in public business the last we heard he kept hotel.
A minister from Scotland, the home of our Ancestors, says there is a large estate awaiting the Maxfield family the records were kept till our great great grand father's day, since then nothing can be found. Your Br. Dorsey has been unfortunate loosing his companions.
You wanted to know where any of the Maxfields live. a nephew of mine, A. F. Maxfield, Abbeville, Vermillion Parish, La. he is my Br. Wallace son. My Br. died in 1852 on his way to Cal., leaving two babies, they have 5 boys some are married. Your letter has called to mind many things quite forgotten. I now want to know if your brother is the same conscientious man as when a boy he used to be affraid he would say swear words. You could never coax him to say darn needle while the other little boy was the opposite.
Now dear Cousin I hope you will not be so confused as the writer was when she read your letter. I forgot how to get supper. I am so nearly blind tis hard for me to keep the lines.
Accept best wishes of Husband and self to your family + write again.
Julia Lamb
Daniel W. Lamb

Denver, Mo., March 30th 1903
W. C. Maxfield Dear Cousin,
Your letter of March 23, 1903 came to hand in due time, also the photo. Many thanks for same it brought vividly to mind your honored Father and I see a likeness of him in the picture before me, though much older. He was in the prime of manhood, and in his profession was a public benefactor. I remember well the time he was called to the bedside of a man suffering from real Asiatic Cholera; there he contracted the disease which for years he dreaded. I often heard him say if the Cholera should come to this country he knew he would die with it which proved true. This was the first case he treated; the patient lived 7 miles out in the country; he lost his way in the woods, and was caught in a drenching rain. He was so fatigued when he arrived there helped to bring on the terable malidy In a few hours he came home opened the door falling on the floor he say in suppressed tones I got the Cholerea, and about 15 hours of terable suffering he succumbed to the demand of insatiable death leaving his loving mother and a large cicrle of near relatives with. A . . . lived a devoted Christian life for many years administering Christian consolation to the dying, and those that were bereft. He was an honored member of the masonic fraternity, as was all his brothers except your Uncle John Maxfield. Your kind sympathy as manifested in your letter of condolence to me on the loss I have sustained helped to mitigate my deep sorrow, for long years our sympathies for each other have been mutual; we considered our life a reality. God in love give us dutiful children to brighten our pathway, but as the beautiful flowers are often met by untimely frosts, so death invaded our home and took some of our loved ones in infancy, and spared some to noble manhood. My eldest son James sacrificed his young life for his country. O the sorrow of many A mother's heart caused by that terable war between brethren. We lost our son Daniel aged 23 who was to have been our stay as he was unmarried. Of eleven children 4 daughters all married and 2 living near me remain with grand children (+ great grandchildren of whom there are 39 living with 3 great great grandchildren). I live with my only son Hon. Fremont Lamb the only one living of five sons. . . . and his excellent family. With them I expect to spend my few remaining days. I am made comfortable and with dutiful grand children my life is made pleasant. You ask the name of Grandma Maxfield. Her Maiden name was Abigail Belcher born in Ct. Your father was named for her father, Gilbert Belcher Maxfield. He was the eldest son had 4 brothers + four sisters their names were Wm., John, Harvey my father, Harry the youngest. Of the sisters Susananna, Abigail, Fanny + Eliza the youngest. I was brought up with them. Your father + mother then living in Mt. Vernon visited Vermont Franklin Co. town of Fairfax in 1824 and induced nearly all the family to emigrate to Ohio then a new country, on the frontier. Our journey was a hard one then R.R. were unheard of. They hired teams to take us so far and then unload, procure another in like manner. The canal was being built most through Ny.Y. state. At Rochester we was set across above the falls in the my means of poles - and this way we traveled long weary days while now a few hours ride in splendid Coaches.
That year Gen. Lafayette visited this country. He was in Albany N.Y. when we were there. My father saw him as he landed from the boat as he came ashore a colored man his former servant took him in his arms carried him about so rejoyce at his meeting with him once again. Men and women wore Lafayette costumes in honor of the Man + General who so nobly assisted our Gen. Washington of sacred memory. I rode on the first steam boat on Robert Fulton, on her second trip from Buffalow to Cleveland [crossed out]. Robert Fulton was aboard. A gentleman asked him if he expected to succeed. His answer was succeed yes succeed. I noticed with childish curiosity as Mr. Fulton petted me during the entire trip though I think the boat landed us at Huron verses Cleveland where we took prarie schooners to Mt. Vernon over so many Corduroys we none of us was ever troubled with dyspepsia since. (but enough) You wrote of your success in obtaining a certificate of service of Great Grand Father Maxfield of Revolutionary fame, I can just remember him and his wife maiden name was Eunice Clough, from New Hampshire. Great grand father lived with our Grand Father Maxfield while Father lived in the same yard, they were both blind + we always called them our blind Grandpa + Ma.
Grandpa M was drowned in the edge of Lamoille river where he must have fell off a bridge crossing a stream that emtied in the river (I have often seen the place as it was nearby). That was previous to our leaving Vt great grandmother died at your uncle Williams about 2 miles from our old home after we left Vt after she was 90 years old. She fell down cellar and broke her hip. She lived some time after in helpless condition as we had news of her death but forgot date. I have often eat apples off Great Grandpas orchid and drank water from the same spring they used in the early settlement of the country. Grandpa Maxfield died and was buried in Fairfax, VT in the same cemetery with his parents and many of our friends are awaiting the call from that voice that woke a sleeping Lazarus.
Grandmother Maxfield and your lamented Father was laid away side by side in the old Congregational burying ground, for many long years but since we left their remains as I understand was removed to the cemetery on the hill.
And now in regard to those certificates you so kindly offered to copy we would highly esteem the posessing of so valuable documents as they would greatly add to our limited store of the Maxfield documents already in our hands. Please send same to address of
Hon. Fremont Lamb
Denver, Worth County, Mo
And accept our thanks.
And now dear cousin I send the address of My Br. Wm. Wallace oldest son who is a war veteran of the civil war. My son-in laws served in the army of the rebellion with honor and receive pansions.
