Maxwell was born 6 March 1870 in Barry County, Missouri. So David Harvey Maxwell and family must have come to Barry County in 1869-1870. David came to the Maxwell Homestead located in the Rock House Hollow area of Mineral Springs. His two brothers having purchased 120 acres in that area from the Missouri Land Company of Scotland for $360. The US Census of 1900 lists his occupation as Physician. The Goodspeed's 1888 History of Barry County, on page 127 lists Drs. Maxwell and Lankford as Physicians in Shell Knob. So, we can now place Dr. David Harvey Maxwell in Barry County in 1888. |
