Penny,
I have been collecting Maxfield data wherever I find it.Can this be of any help:
1880 Census:
VA, Powhatan Co., Spencer
Albert H. Cox self M M W 69 VA farmer VA VA
Elizabeth Cox wife M F W 61 VA keeping house VA VA
Edward H. Cox son S M W 32 VA works on farm VA VA
Albert H. Cox son S M W 23 VA works on farm VA VA
Elizabeth Maxfield daughter M F W 21 VA at home VA VA
Sarah J. P. Cox daughter S F W 19 VA at home VA VA
John C. Cox son S M W 16 VA works on farm VA VA
Nancy F. Cox daughter S F W 11 VA at home VA VA
James C. L. Cox son S M W 9 VA VA VA
Frances Scruggs sister-in-law W F W 43 VA at home VA VA
r "other" surname Scruggs, B + Mu
Edwd Maxfield son-in-law M M W 23 OH huckster OH OH
Elizabeth A. Maxfield granddaughter S F W 4 mo VA OH VA
To translate: Elizabeth Maxfield, daughter of Albert Cox, married, female, white, age 21, born in Virginia, works at home, father and mother born in Virginia.
I also find this Maxfield household in the same area in 1880:
VA, Powhatan Co., Huguenot
Wm. H. Maxfield self M M W 66 NY farmer NY NY
Charlotte Maxfield wife M F W 59 OH keeping house CT CT
Anna Maxfield daughter S F W 25 OH at home NY NY
Charles E. Maxfield son S M W 22 OH NY NY
Frederick B. Maxfield son S M W 18 OH works on farmNY NY
Phobe Maxfield daughter S F W 14 OH at home NY NY
This appears to be the family that was reported in Wood County, Ohio, in 1870:
OH, Wood Co., Lake Twp., Woodville (Sandusky Co.) P.O.
Maxfield, W. H. 55 M W grocer NY male citizen
Maxfield, Charlotte 46 F W keeping house OH
Maxfield, Anna 16 F W at home OH school
Maxfield, Edward 12 M W attending school OH school
Maxfield, Frieders 7 M W attending school OH school
Maxfield, Della 4 F W at home OH
Census records are not always accurate, and sometimes difficult to read.
