(Continued from vol. 7. P. 24, January 1929)*

24. STEPHEN⁵ MAXFIELD (Nathaniel ⁴ Eliphalet ³ Nathaniel ² John ¹), the eldest son of Nathaniel and Mehitable (Rowe) Maxfleld, was born at Epping, New Hampshire, in 1770.

		Sept. 1831 Simeon M. Brown, who was b. at Rye, N. H., about 1808, and d. 21

*Because of hitherto unknown data received while the January issue of the RECORD was in press it has become necessary to re-number the families subsequent to No. 28 (changing the number of Dudley⁶ Maxfield, formerly No. 29, to 33). Therefore the record of the family of No. 18, Currier⁴ Maxfield (see the RECORD, vol. 7, p. 23) is reprinted with additions supplied by Mr. Lynn (i.e., Llewellyn) R. Spencer, of Healdton, Oklahoma:

18. CURRIER⁴ MAXFIELD (Joshua³ Joseph² John¹), the son of Joshua and Sarah (Currier) Maxfield, was born about 1782, possibly at Wear, New Hampshire; he died at Goshen, New Hampshire, 12 September 1857, aged 75 years. He lived at Epping and Goshen.

He married, firstly, about 1802, Polly Carr, daughter of Sanders and Sarah (Page) Carr. She was born 4 April 1778 and died at Goshen, 16 November 1837, aged 59 years and 7 months. (E. L. Carr's Carr family record. D. A. R. Lineage book, vol. 64, p. 78; vol. 70, p. 180.)

He married, secondly, 28 August 1838, Hepcibeth Bardeen, of Goshen.

Issue (N. B. The N. H. Dept. of Vital Statistics has records of the children of Currier Maxfield from both Bradford and Newbury; the dates vary exactly one year in all cases, those of Newbury being the earlier; presumably the Bradford records are correct and are here used), all by the first wife:

Then he removed to North Henderson, Illinois, whence he soon moved to Knoxville. The trip from Maine to Illinois was made mainly by water. They went "from Boston to New York by water, to Philadelphia by cars, to Columbia, by canal to Hollydaysburg, to Pittsbury by canal, to Troy, Indiana, by Ohio River, from the Ohio to the Mississippi River, and up the Mississippi to New Boston, Illinois, and over land eighteen miles to North Henderson, Illinois."

THE NEBRASKA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Lincoln, Nebraska

The Society was formed several years ago by a group of people interested in genealogy. It is the purpose of the Society to preserve the genealogical records of the Middle West and, wherever possible., trace the families of the Middle West to the eastern progenitors. With this in mind the Society has published for six years THE NEBRASKA AND MIDWEST GENEALOGICAL RECORD, a quarterly magazine, which is sent to all members of the Society.

Membership in the Society is open to anyone interested in its aims. The annual dues are two dollars, including the magazine, payable in advance in January. Anyone desiring to become a member may do so by sending the dues to the Treasurer of the Society.

Life membership is available at fifty dollars. All funds derived from Life Memberships are kept as an endowment, and the income only is used for the support of the Society.

Material for publication in the RECORD should be sent to the Editor, Gilbert H. Doane, The University Library, Lincoln, Nebraska. Any one may submit manuscripts for consideration for publication. The Editor reserves the right to reject or accept material, and, if accepted, to put it into the form used by the magazine. It is suggested that prospective contributors study carefully the form of the various types of articles that have been printed, and follow that form as closely as possible in preparing their material for consideration.

The officers for the year 1929 are:

President - Mrs. Samuel Avery.
1st Vice-President - Mrs. C. A. Reynolds.
