WARREN SMITH8 MAXFIELD (Charles7, Warren6-5, Timothy4-3-2, John1) was born at Fairhaven, Massachusetts, on 2 April 1876 (VR MA 277:94:5), son of Charles Pope Maxfield and his wife Ellen Thomas.

Warren married ANNIE CALDEN at New Bedford, Massachusetts, on 27 April 1898 (VR Ma 478:149:6). The record reads:

1898 Fairhaven record; April 27, 1898 at New Bedford
Warren S. Maxfield of Fairhaven, 22, plumber, b. Fairhaven to Charles P. + Ellen M. (Thomas); 1st;
Annie T. Calden of New Bedford, 21, at home, b. New Bedford to John + Delia (Riley), 1st;
by William F. Sullivan, priest, New Bedford, Mass.
Annie was born at New Bedford on August 1876 (1900 census).

The 1900 census (634:10A)reported this family on Adams Street in Fairhaven:

In 1910 (census 612:2:78A) Warren was in the household of Rodman H. and Caroline B. Robinson on Summer Street in Middleboro, Massachusetts, where he was a hired man on a farm. Children Miriam and Warren were living with an aunt and uncle at 7 Campbell Street, New Bedford.

Warren S. Maxfield married as his second wife EMILIA JOHNSON at Nashua, New Hampshire on 7 April 1911 (NH M):

    child of Charles P. Maxfield of Fairhaven, 63, white, retired, b. Fairhaven
    and Ellen Thomas of Fairhaven, 64, white, homemaker, b. Fairhaven

  • Warren S. Maxfield registered for the draft at Plymouth County, Massachusetts, on 12 September 1918, and reported the following:

    iceman for John R. Wheeler, Nantasket Ave., North Plymouth
    relative: Annie T. Maxfield, 7 Campbell St., New Bedford, MA

    This raises many questions. Were Warren and Annie divorced before 1911? What happened to Emilia?

    In 1920 (census 680:15B) Warren was reported as a widower, boarding at 270 West Street, Pittsfield, Massachusetts. About 1925 Warren Maxfield married MINNIE and they were reported in the 1930 census (885:) at 87 Madison Avenue, Pittsfield
