Eighth Generation

GEORGE A.8 MAXFIELD (Samuel7, Asa6, Nathan5, Nathaniel4, Eliphalet3, Nathaniel2, John1) was born at Levant, Maine, in February 1864 (1900 Census), a child of Samuel Asa Maxfield and his wife Frances Brackett.

IDA E. OLMSTEAD married George A. Maxfield at Bangor, Maine on 3 May 1893 (VR ME). Ida was born at Springfield, Maine, on March 1870 (1900 Census).

The 1900 census (597:1:81A) reported the following family at 588 Hammond Street, Bangor, Maine:

The record further stated that George and Ida had been married seven years, and that Ida had two children, both living.

The 1910 Census (544:1:178B) reported this family at 199 Pine Street, Bangor:

The 1930 Census reported George A. (age 66) and Ida E. (age 60) living at 119 Morning Street, Portland, with son Jerome C. Maxfield, age 20. George was a machinist at a saw mill. "Jerome C." in the 1930 census appears to be the same person as "Jessie C." in the 1920 Census and William Taft in the 1910 Census. As the Social Security Death Index refered to Jerome C. Maxfield, that is the probably correct name. Another entry in the 1930 Census (840:) listed Ida Maxfield, age 60, nurse for a private family, at Addison, Washington County, Maine, in the residence of Carrie Leavitt, 63, divorced, and boarder Ira S. Preble, 71, widower.

George and Ida Maxfield had the following children:

  1. MARIA A.9 MAXFIELD
    • b. at Bangor on 2 April 1896 (VR ME)
  2. FRANCES MADELEINE9 MAXFIELD
    • b. at Bangor on 31 March 1897 (VR ME)
