I'm not researching this family, but did a little internet snooping and found: 1900 Derry, Mifflin, Pa Daniel J. Powell, April 1853 (transcribed as 'Danute Powell on Ancestry.com) born Pa of Pa-born parents. Innkeeper. Jane A., June 1856, born Pa. of Pa-born parents Martha Pearl E., born Jan 1882 Richard Edna Olive R. (enumerated with sister Pearl & her 2nd husband Joseph Zeigler in the 1930 Harrisburg census) Leslie Stacy Vincent Note: this family is also in the 1880 Decatur, Mifflin census with 2 earlier children (before Martha); Bessie and what looks like Zelda. By the 1900 census Daniel and Jane have been married 29 years (1871?) and have had 13 children, of whom 10 survive. By 1910, this family has moved to Lewistown. ______________ 1900 Derry, Mifflin census Mary Harris, 54, born in Pa of a father born in France and a mother born in Pa, widow (of John Harris who was born in Canada abt 1843 of Massachusetts-born parents and died sometime between 1883 and 1900) Joseph, ?Harrison John?, George, Frank, Edwin - all brothers and all single. By the 1910 census, this family too has moved to Lewistown. Frank has married (to Mary C.) and Joseph, George, Frank, and Edward(was Edwin in 1900) are ALL single and still living with their mother Mary. Missing is just the one son - Harrison or Harrison John or John H. Mary says that one of her surviving children from the 1900 census has since died (between 1900 and 1910), so this must have been Harrison John (or whatever his name was) and I suspect that this must have been Maxwell's father. Unfortunately, his name is hardly legible in the 1900 census (it ends ..rrison J.?) and in the 1880 census, it's John (plus some hard to discern initial) - so I'm guessing his name was John Harrison or something close to that, born abt 1871.
