The Maxwell-Briscoe Company of Tarrytown, NY was named for it's founders, Jonathan Maxwell and Briscoe Brothers Metalworks. Benjamin Briscoe was one of the presidents of the company.

After its building burned down in Tarrytown, the company built one of the largest auto factories in the world at new Castle, Indiana. This later became a Chrysler plant and was functioning until 2004.

In 1913, the year this car was built, Maxwell-Briscoe was purchased by a Walter Flanders and renamed the company Maxwell Motor Company, Inc.

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships. The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.
