Birth and death information is from Max Maxfield along with this: William Maxfield; born 1724 in Ireland; One report (unknown source) has William born on board ship on the trip from Ireland to Marblehead in 1724. Married Susanna Webb, daughter of Samuel Webb and Bethia Farrar, 4 November 1753 at Gorham, Maine; married Mary Wescott, daughter of William Wescott and Dorcas Skillings, 21 July 1763; died 1775 at Windham, Maine.
On the 27th of August [1747], following a party of some twenty or thirty Indians entered the town, and made an attempt to capture two young men who were out of the fort, William, son of Thomas Bolton, and William Maxfield who lived with William Mayberry. They were both well armed with muskets and made a brave resistance. Bolton discharged his musket upon his assailants, but before he could reload the Indians rushed upon him and made him a prisoner. Maxfield retreated, walking backwards towards the fort, and occasionally menacing the Indians with his gun, till he was rescued by a band of armed men from the garrison, but not till he had been seriously, though not fatally, wounded by a shot from the Indians, having an arm broken. Bolton was carried captive to Canada, where he was purchased by a French naval officer and taken on board a French frigate as a servant. The French frigate was soon captured by an English vessel and taken to Boston, and Bolton became the servant of Lt. Wallace, of the English Frigate. But his situation becoming known to the captain of a coasting vessel belonging to Falmouth, he was released on application to the Governor, and brought home to the great joy of his parents on 27 August 1747.
