Children with James Harvey Maxwell:

There is confusion about the two oldest children listed below. Eugenia is listed in the household at age 7 in the 1860 census, but Warren is not. He is listed at age 17 in the 1870 census, and she is not. They may have been twins, and he was missed in 1860 and she was dead or married and out of the household in 1870. Or, they may be the same child and the enumerator may have recorded the wrong name and sex in one of the cases.
