JULIAN ANN6 MAXFIELD (Oliver5, Joshua4-3, Joseph2, John1) was born at Fort Ann, Washington County, New York about 1846-7,[1] a child of Oliver and Mary Maxfield. He died at Glens Falls, Warren County, Nwew York, on 20 February 1907.[2] He married at Poultney, Rutland County, Vermont, on 31 May 1873 ELECTA COOK, child of Gilbert Cook and Mary Ann Carter, who was born at Fort Ann about 1854-5.[3]
The first of four children, Julian grew up at Fort Ann, a small town on the Champlain Canal.
The 1870 Census reported Julian Maxfield, 19, boatman, living at Fort Ann with his parents and siblings.[4] He married in 1873, and was reported in the 1875 New York state census at Fort Ann; Julius was 26, boatman, born at Washington County; his wife Electa was 20, born at Washington County.[5]
The family of Julian and Electa Maxfield was reported at Fort Ann in the 1880 Census as follows:[6]

Electa probably died some time between the 1880 Census and the 1892 New York state census. That state census reported Julian Maxfield, 44, laborer, at Aurora, Erie County, New York.[7] Daughter Gracie Maxfield, 16, was living with her grandparents, Oliver and Mary Maxfield, at Fort Ann.[8] Son Eddie Maxfield, 14, also at Fort Ann, was living in the household of E. W. and Addie Allen.[9] I find no further record of the unnamed daughter of the 1880 Census.
I have not found Julian in the 1900 Census. Grace M. Maxfield, 24, dressmaker, resided at Fort Ann in the household of William and Amanda Crosby.[10] Edward Maxfield, 23, shirt maker, lived at Queensbury Township, Warren County, in the household of Eugene Washburn.[11] Grace Married in 1904.
