Maxam, Adonijah was from the old Colony in 1748. The
name, in the early records, is spelt Muxam, and is so pro-
nounced by elderly people at the present day. Mr. Maxam
settled where Orrin Abel lived on the Ellsworth turnpike,
where he died in 1760. He left four sons, Samuel, Benjamin,
Adonijah, and Jacob. The third son, Adonijah, after having
gone through the active and perilous services of the revolu-
tionary war, which have been detailed in a preceding chapter,
died at the age of ninety-seven years.

This memorial is for the elder Adonijah.
