Eighth Generation

LEONARD DARIUS8 MAXFIELD (Nathaniel7-6, James5, Nathaniel4, Eliphalet3, Nathaniel2, John1) was born at Valley County, Nebraska, on 2 January 1896 (SSDI; IGI), a child of Nathaniel Darius Maxfield and his wife Fronia Reed. Leonard registered for the draft at Valley County on 5 June 1917 (WWI Draft) and reported the following:

The 1920 Census (1002:1B) reported Leonard D. Maxfield, single and living alone, engaged in farming at Eureka Township, Valley County, Nebraska. His entry followed immediately after his parents.

About 1922/3 Leonard Maxfield married BESSIE MABLE RINCK (full name from IGI). They were reported in the 1930 Census at Midvale Precinct, Garfield County, Nebraska, as follows:

The daughter's name is difficult to read, and may be mispelled here. Leonard and Bessie were aged 27 and 14 respectively at the time of marriage.
