Re: Children of Alton Maxson, PA/NY, 1851

Dear Hazel,

Thank you so much for responding so quickly to my query. I very much appreciate it.

Could you give me your source? Some of the information is different than I have. You put Luva down as having married De Reamer. According to the Grow Database, the California death records as well asmy own recollections (we have a few letters from her) it was Deremer. Also, in the McKean,Co. PA early birth records her birth date is listed as March 18, 1893, which is the same date given on the California Death Record (b. 3/18/93d.7/2/1994 Manteca, San Joaquin, Calif. Parents Maxson/Grow).

Also, we have an entry in the 1880 Ceres Pennsylvania Census which lists as head Allen Maxson, wife Jane Ann, 2 yr. old daughter Pearl, 8 mos old son Rex J. I assume the Allen is misspelled and should read Alton. In that case it seems that Pearl and Rex were the oldest children (which also lines up with the info in the Grow Database)..
