James Joseph Maxfield married NORA about 1904/5 (1910 census). Nora was born at Ireland about 1881/2. She came to America in 1900 (1910 census).

The 1910 census (1169:2:158A) reported James, Nora, and son James at Cleveland, Ohio. James, 27, was a repairman of boats; Nora was 28, son James was 4. James and Nora had been married five years, it was a first marriage; Nora had only one child, who was living. Nora's parents were English-speaking born at Ireland.

James Joseph Maxfield registered for the draft (WWI Draft) at Cuyahoga County, Ohio, on 9 May 1918, and reported the following:

It is not known why he listed his brother as nearest relative, rather than his wife. Apparently a change of occupation had put him on the road.

James Joseph and Nora Maxfield had the following child:
