- Well, I found the tentative link. According to some online genealogies, and repeated in the book The British Chronicles, Volume 1, by David Hughes, pg 128 states (emphasis mine) that:
It is generally accepted that Maximus (Macsen "Wledic") was the eldest of the three sons of the Roman Governor Eucharius(355-8 & 371) and his wife Flavia, daughter of the earlier British usurper Carausius II (353-356)
.
The book also discusses two other lineages, but this seems to be the one relevant to the question.
It appears little is known about this Carausius II :
Carausius II is the name given by historians to a possible imperial usurper in Roman Britain between the years 354 and 358. Coins appear during this period bearing the name which is the same as an earlier British usurper emperor, Carausius.
So it appears Maximus was descended from a Carausius, just probably not the Carausius (Marcus Aurelius Mausaeus Valerius Carausius) indicated by wikipedia.
