Descendants of John Maxfield
of Salisbury, Massachusetts
Seventh Generation

JOSEPH HILL7 MAXFIELD (Benjamin6, James5, John4, Michael,3 John2-1) was born at Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts, on 21 September 1832 a son of Benjamin Maxfield and his first wife Mary Lane. He died at Melrose, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, on 24 March 1916.[1] He married first at Salem on 1 June 1853 MARY D. ELDRIDGE.[2] She was born at Orleans, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, on 10 February 1832, a daughter of Kelley Eldridge. She died at Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, on 22 November 1879.[3] Joseph married second at Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, on 3 February 1884 MARY E. S. MILLER.[4] She was born at Portland, Cumberland County, Maine, on 7 March 1848, a daughter of James P. and Eunice Miller. She died at Portland on 15 December 1920.[5]

Joseph H. Maxfield grew up in the city of Salem, the second of four children, and the first to reach adulthood. According to the 1850 Census he was living with his parents, age 18, employed as a shoe maker.[6] At the time of his marriage in 1853 he was described as a cordwainer, which is another name for shoemaker.

The 1855 Massachusetts census reported James H. Maxfield, 23, employed in an oil factory, living at Salem with his wife Mary, 23, and their son Benjamin, 36 months.[7] At that time an oil factory would have been related to the whaling industry. Their son Benjamin probably died before 1860, as he does not appear in that census. Joseph and Mary had a son John, born in 1854, who lived less than three months and died of a canker.[8] Their daughter Bernice, born in 1855, lived for three years and died of scarlet fever.[9] So Joseph and Mary had three children before 1860, but found themselves childless until the birth of Joseph E. Maxfield in 1860.

The 1860 Census reported Joseph "Mansfield" 28, at Salem, working as a porter, with his wife Mary and their one month old child Joesph E.[10] The 1865 state census reported Joseph H. Maxfield, 33, at Salem, working in a rubber factory. With him were his wife Mary, 33, son Joseph, 5, and daughter Mary, three months.[11] In 1870 the family of four was still at Salem, but Jospeh was now working in a brewery.[12]

In 1879 Mary (Eldridge) Maxfield, 47, died of diphtheria.[13] Widower Joseph Maxfield moved to Portland. His second marriage record states that he was 51, of Portland, bottler; his bride Mary E. S. Miller, was of Boston, 35. They married at Boston in 1884.[14] Son Joseph E. Maxfield married in the same year as his father. Joseph H. Maxfield and his second wife had a child, Ernest, in 1886. Ernest died at the age of seven from accidental drowning from Merill's Wharf, Portland.[15] So Joseph Hill Maxfield had a total of six children by his two wives, only Joseph Ellwell survived.

In the 1910 Census Joseph Hill Maxfield was reported at Cambridge, Middlesex County, 76, living with his son, Joseph E. Maxfield, 50, the younger Joseph's wife, Harriet, 50, and their two sons, Joseph P., 22, and Henry T., 17; no one was listed with an occupation.[16] Wife Mary (Miller) Maxfield was living at Lynn, Essex County, age 63, working as a servant for a private family.[17] Joseph Hill Maxfield died in 1916 from a cerebral hemorrhage; the death record called him a retired grocery merchant.[18] His widow died in 1920 at the Home for Aged Women at Portland, from a cerebral hemorrhage and arterio sclerosis.[19]

Son Joseph Ellwell Maxfield had joined the Army on 4 January 1882 and served in the signal corps. He was described as having blue eyes, light brown hair, fair complexion, height 5' 3¾". He was discharged on 2 July 1884,[20] and on the 30th of that month married. He continued to serve in the signal corps, arriving in San Francisco, California, on 10 January 1887.[21] Their first child, Joseph, was born there later that year. Their second child was born at Fort Riley, Geary County, Kansas, in 1892. By 1896 he was stationed at Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.

The signal corps was, among other things, involved in laying telegraph lines and keeping them secure. Also, in this time before the invention of the airplane, the signal corps experimented with various forms of air flight. In 1896 Maxfield's experiment with travel by kite was reported in the Washington Times, among other papers:[22]

A MAN-CARYING KITE
Signal Officer Maxwell of Chicago to Be a Kite's Tail

Lieut. Joseph E. Maxfield, chief signal officer of the Department of the Missouri, and now stationed in Chicago, will make an ascent on a man-carying Kite, to be built by Octave Chanute.

Lieut. Maxfield will be the first person in America to attempt a feat always accounted hazardous in the extreme. The ascent will be made in an arm chair fastened to a portion of the kite's frame, and will be for the purpose of testing the efficiency of a flying kite for observation purposes, as an adjunct to the balloon service, which for some time has been an important part of the signal corps work.

"This thing has been done in England and can be done in Chicago, and I trust it is needless for me to say that I won't ask one of my men to undertake something until I have done it myself."

Weather conditions permitting, the signal corps experiments with the kite will be made as soon as it is completed.

During the Spanish-American War Maxfield was in charge of a train of balloons used for surveilance in Cuba. The papers reported, "Maj. Maxfield had experience with balloons at Fort Logan in Kansas and afterward in Chicago and is regarded as an expert."[23]

The following year, 1899, Maxfield was laying cable for telegraph lines in the Philippines.[24]

The year 1902 found Major Maxfield in Alaska, but that experience was his undoing:[25]

Major Maxfield, Bay State Soldier, Crazed by Alaska Privations

Salem, Sept 9--Major Joseph E. Maxfield, United States Signal Corps, a Salem man whose wife is a Salem woman, is reported at the Army headquarters, Washington, D. C., a mental wreck, crazed through terrible sufferings experienced while upon special duty in Alaska. Orders have been forwarded from the War Department directing that Major Maxfield be returned home in the hopes that he may recuperate.

Some six months ago Major Maxfield, who was then on duty in Washington, D. C., was ordered to Alaska to take charge of the army's signal work. He left Valdez early in the spring and traveled some 300 miles to the north for the purpose of looking over the ground and outlining the work to be performed by the corps during the summer.

Then, with but a single Indian guide for a companion, the major started back by boat. He endured terrible privations and sufferings before he arrived. A few days ago the War Department received a telegram stating that Major Maxfield was beset with an hallucination that there was a conspiracy against his life, and it is believed by those associated with him that his sufferings are the cause of this mental aberration.

The 1910 Census reported James E. Maxfield at Cambridge with his wife, two sons, and father. In 1920 he and Harriet were still at Cambridge; he was listed as a retired army officer.[26] Son Joseph P. Maxfield had married in 1914, and was reported in 1920 at Millburn, Essex County, New Jersey, with his wife, two daughters, and mother-in-law. Son Henry T. Maxfield married in 1915, and in 1920 was living at Cambridge with his wife.[27] James E. Maxfield died at Washington, D.C. in 1926. Widow Harriet Maxfield was reported in 1930 at Washington, D.C., with her nine-year old granddaughter Martha. Harriet died at Chicago in 1934.

Joseph Pease9 Maxfield (Joseph8-7) registered for the draft at Millburn on 1 June, 1917. He reported that he was a telephone engineer for Western Electric Company, New York City. He requested exemption because of the nature of his work and his having a wife and two children to support. He was tall, slender, with blue eyes and brown hair.[28] The 1920 Census reported him at Millburn, a research physicist with the telephone company. With him were his wife Millicent, 26, daughters Katherine, 4, and Eleanore, 2, and mother-in-law Mary Arnold, 67.[29] In 1930 the entire family of five had relocated to Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, where Joseph was identified as an electrical engineer.[30] In 1935 the family was still in California. However the 1940 Census reported them at Florham Park, Morris County, New Jersey. Their family consisted of Joseph P., 53, director of an electrical engineering concern, wife Millicent, 46, homemaker, daughter Eleanor Weis, who had married in 1936, 23, and her husband, Charles W. Weis, 27, president of a roofing concern. According to this record Joseph and Millicent had completed four years of college, Charles two years, and Eleanor one year.[31]

Joseph Pease Maxfield registered for the "old men's" draft on 27 April 1942, at Durham County, North Carolina. That record listed his wife's address as Florham Park, and his employer as Bell Telephone Lab, New York City.[32] The 1950 Census found Joseph P. Maxfield and wife Millicent at San Diego, San Diego County, California. Joseph was chief supervisor for Navy sound research.[33] A newspaper article on the occasion of his appointment to a new position, shares some of his biography:[34]

Acting Chief Scientist Appointed at Mugu

Joseph P. Maxfield, consultant to the chief scientist at the Naval Air Missile Test Center, today was appointed acting chief scientist. . .

Mr. Maxfield was employed by the Western Electric Co. and Bell Telephone Laboratories for 31 years. On leave from Bell 1926-1929, he was manager of engineering and research for Victor Talking Machine Company in Camden, New Jersey. He was the director of the Division of Physical War Research at Duke University from 1942-46, working on contract with the Office of Scientific Research and Development.

The major part of Mr. Maxfield's work for Bell Telephone was in the development of acoustic design and the electronics of audio and vibration measurement. He is one of the pioneers in the study of high fidelity. He has conducted development work in speaker enclosures and has directed the acoustical design of several of the nation's best auditoriums.

After a brief retirement from Bell, Mr. Maxfield came to California to become superintending scientist at the US Navy Electronics Laboratory in San Diego from 1948 to 1953.

It was in 1953 that Mr. Maxfield retired and went to New Mexico to visit his daughter and son-in-law, who is a scientist at Los Alamos.

In 1955 Dr. Weller stopped to visit with the Maxfields and asked Mr. Maxfield to come to Point Mugu as his consultant. He came in May 1956. . . .

Henry Tucker Maxfield (Joseph8-7) reported for the draft at Washington, D.C., on 5 June 1917. At the time he was clerk in the War Department. He was tall, medium build, with blue eyes and light hair.[35] At the time of the 1920 Census Henry Maxfield, 27, and his wife Frances, 25, were lodging in a home in Cambridge. Henry was working as a public accountant.[36] Their daughter, Martha Frances, was born in September of that census year; Frances (Kimball) Maxfield died suddenly two months later from cardio-renal disease.[37]

The 1930 Census reported Henry T. Maxfield, 37, veteran of World War I, manager in auto sales, at Riverdale, Prince Georges County, Maryland, with his second wife, Elena, 32, and their child, Joseph M., 5. Henry and Elena had been married about eight years. Elena was born in Massachusetts to parents born in Italy.[38] Henry died at Proviso, Cook County, in 1936.

Martha Frances Maxfield (Henry9, Joseph8-7) in 1930, age nine, was living with her grandmother, Harriet (Mansfield) Maxfield, at Washington, D.C. In 1940 she was a student nurse at the Hospital of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[39] The 1950 Census reported her lodging in East Orange, Essex County, New Jersey, working as an office clerk for the telephone company.[40]
