He was the son of Henry Maxwell, Lord Bishop of Meath, and grandson of John Maxwell, 1st Baron Farnham. He married on the 4 July 1789 to Juliana Lucy Annesley (died 10 October 1833), daughter of Arthur Annesley, 1st Earl of Mountnorris, 8th Viscount Valentia. From 1806 to 1824, he was a Member of Parliament for Cavan. He was appointed a Privy Councillor in Ireland on the 7 July 1809. On the death of his first cousin, he succeeded at 5th Baron Farnham on the 23 July 1823. He was elected a representative peer on the 17 December 1825. He died without issue and so the barony was succeeded by his brother Henry.
