Sixth Generation

GEORGE W.⁶ MAXFIELD (Ira⁵,Joshua^4-3, Joseph², John¹) was born at Washington County, New York, on October 1848^[1] a son of Ira Maxfield and his wife Mary Ripley . He was living on 1900 (census). He married first before 1875 (census) KATE SPILLING. She was born at England about 1856-7,^[2] a daughter of Thomas and Jane Spilling. She was living on 1900 (census). George married second about 1897-8 JENNIE M. ________, who was born at New York about July 1866.^[3] Kate married about 1883-4 ROBERT DINES, who was born at New York on September 1856.^[4]

George Maxfield grew up at Whitehall, Washington County, the seventh of seven children. The 1870 census reported him living with his parents at Whitehall, age 20, a boatman.^[5] He married before the 1875 New York state census, which reported George and Kate living with her parents:^[6]

By 1880 George and Kate were living apart. The census of that year reported George W. Maxfield, 35, wood turner, living with his parents at Whitehall.^[7] That same census reported Kate Maxfield, 21, washerwoman, living at a hotel in Whitehall.^[8]

About 1883-4 Kate married Robert Dines, with whom she was reported in the 1892 state census, along with her two Maxfield children:^[9]

Lizzie Maxfield was also reported a servant in the household of James H. Parker at Whitehall.^[10] In that same census, George Maxfield, 45, carpenter, was living at Whitehall with his mother, Mary M. Maxfield, 72.^[11]

About 1897-8 George remarried, and was reported in the 1900 Census living at Whitehall:^[12]

According to this record, George and Jennie had been married two years.

Meanwhile, that census reported Kate and Robert Dines and their blended family also at Whitehall:^[13]

This record stated that Robert and Kate had been married 16 years, and she had five children, three of whom were living (although four are listed on this census record).

Maggie married in 1901.

At this point, the information I have on this family runs out. I welcome any additional information or corrections that anyone can provide.
George W. Maxfield and his first wife Kate Spilling had the following children:

1. LIZZIE⁷ MAXFIELD b. at the United States about 1875.^[14]
2. MAGGIE⁷ MAXFIELD b. at New York on May 1880;^[15] m. at Whitehall on 9 January 1901 FRANK GORDON.^[16]
