I’m looking for the parents of Mercy WADSWORTH, whose intentions to marry Jesse MAXHAM (Maxim, Muxom, and every imaginable variant) were published Jan. 13, 1797 (MD 30:118) Mercy was “of Plymouth” and Jesse from Wareham. Somewhere I acquired a list of the children of this couple. (My notes say it was in John A. Leppman’s article in TAG vol’s 57-8 on the Maxim family, but I do not find them there now. If anyone can tell me where to find a list of the children I’d be grateful. They might be in Leonard Smith’s _Records of the First Church of Wareham, Mass. 1739-1891.) The list I have includes children Prince Wadsworth Maxim and Zilpha Maxim. A Prince WADSWORTH married a Zilpha ELLIS (descendant of Richard Warren, which is my excuse for asking here), intentions published May 3, 1766 (MD 26:86), and it seems likely to me that my Mercy is a child of this marriage. A Brownson and McLean article, “Lt. John & Elizabeth (Freeman) Ellis” in the NEHG Register 120:274 speaks of Prince Wadsworth and Zilpha Ellis, notes son Christopher and that “there may have been other children.” So it may not be easy to find any other children, but the census of 1790 shows some young people in the household of Prince Wadsworth in Plymouth twp. According to my list of unknown origin of the children of Mercy Wadsworth and Jesse Maxham there was also a child Pelham. Zilpha Ellis Wadsworth, who I believe may be the mother of my Mercy, had a brother Pelham, which is a name I have not seen often. The census of 1830 shows in Wareham a Pelham Maxham (who, if he is the right Pelham, married Huldah HATHAWAY) living next to a Jesse Maxham. The ages of the members of the households seem to fit what I believe I know about the families I’m interested in. Jesse can be tracked through the census—he seems to have ended up in the household of his daughter Eliza and her husband Robert Cole in 1850, and is I believe buried next to them in the East Rochester Congregational Church cemetery. I don’t know if Brownson and McLean couldn’t find other children of Prince and Zilpha Ellis Wadsworth, or just weren’t looking. The only Plymouth twp. VR I have is what was published in MD (and that is also true of the Wareham VR.) If someone happens to have the Plymouth VR and/or WCR and has nothing better to do than check these names I’d be grateful to know if there’s anything there.
