Here is something I found recently:
"Samuel Bell Maxey had no children.He and his wife helped raise and educate his nephew, Sam Bell Maxey Long.Maxey died August 16, 1895."This was in a newspaper article in the Denison Herald-Democrat on December 16, 2001.
The author, R. C. Vaughan, wrote that the info came from Vol. 4 of The New Handbook of Texas, 1996, page 580.
I hope this helps. It appears to say that the nephew's last name was not Maxey.If true, that would end some of the confusion.
Also, the article states that Alfred Halsell Maxey was cousin to Sen. Samuel Bell Maxey.That was reported as being from page 473 in The History of Grayson County, Texas, by Grayson County Frontier Village, Vol. 1. (1979) written by Margaret Maxey Hames.
