From a marriage certificate dated 28 December 1872, Newport, Orleans, Vermont:  Mercie Maxfield d/o Davis Maxfield and Eliza Laird, married John Rushlow. Both groom and spouse were from East Canada (Quebec).
 
Descendants settled Washington County, Vermont; particularly, the towns of Marshfield and Plainfield, with an Edwin B. Maxfield, Jennie Maxfield, Harry Maxfield, Elmer Maxfield, and some of the names which appear on various federal census records in U.S. from 1880-1930. Maxfields in these towns connected to the Laird, Tucker, Holt, Bushie (Bushey), and Woodcock surnames.

Jeremiah Osborn Hedges 1822--1895 
Philetus S. Hedges 1824--1885 
Miner Hedges 1826--?

After Artemezia died, Jeremiah (1795) married Mary Calkins and migrated to Lamont, Mich., along with some more Maxfields. Ira Maxfield was born in Vermont ~1807, m.

Any information about Maxfields in Massachusetts that elected to leave or were deported to Canada? Could there be any who were kidnapped by Indians during the many raids to the Newburyport area in the Indian Wars of the early 1700's and brought from eastern Mass (Newbury or Haverhill) to Canada and sold to the French?
