George Cleaver Maxwell was the younger brother of my great, gt, gt, gt, gt, grandfather. He was born at Tencett, Northamptonshire on 8th July 1789, son of George Maxwell, surveyor and land agent, and his wife Frances Goodman. He married his first cousin, Miss Mary Goodman, daughter of Thomas Goodman of Peterborough on 18th June 1812. In the early 1820s George was sent to a mental institution in Norfolk after he became disturbed and extremely violent. He remained in the asylum for some twenty years after which he was released into the care of his nephews maiden aunts-in-law, the Misses Peacock at Hartford, Huntingdonshire.In 1844, the Misses Peacock sold up and moved to Black Torrington, Devon to be near to Georges nephew, John Goodman Maxwell Esq., then living at Coham House. Later the family united into one household at Bydown House, Swimbridge, where George Cleaver died on 15th November 1862. After George had been locked up in the 1820's, his wife Mary was also struck down with mental illness, (probably depression in modern terms) and was in the care of a doctor for a number of years before being returned to her parents in Peterborough where she died in 1839. Despite his incapacity, George ran his own affairs and left an estate of some 6000 mainly made up of inherited property in Farcet and Fletton in Huntingdonshire.
