    Notes:

    John Maynard III Imigrated with his parents at 3 years of age to the Colonies.

    John Maynard II, the first immigrant ancestor, settled in Sudbury (now Wayland) and was one of the forty-seven who shared the meadow along the Sudbury River. His house lot of four acres was near those of Edmond and Henry Rice on North Street. At first, he built a low loghouse probably with a thatched roof and later a frame house. John was evidently desirous to locate in a fertile spot where cattle could be fed and a home maintained. John was admitted a freeman on May 20,1644 and was select man of Sudbury in 1646.
    In early records and histories, there are several conflicting accounts of John Maynard. There are claims of two men of the same name in the area and one account of them being married to the same Mary Starr. Most account have the familes of John II and John III confused. I believe that John of Sudbury can be proven and that the account of another event settles the John II/ John III confusion. In 1660, the inhabitants of Sudbury petitioned the General Court, stating that as the Lord had blessed them with very large families and had also greatly prospered them by increasing their flocks and herds, they found themselves much hampered for room for their cattle to feed. On May 31, 1660, a grant of six square miles was set off for their needs and this country was known as Whippin and afterwards in corporated as Marlborough. In this grant, John Maynard II was assigned a good area in the central part of the present city of Marlborough. John III went to this grant and settled, and married Mary Gates. In his father's will, he stated that he had already deeded this property to John III. Thus all the descentants by the name of Maynard in Marlborough, Southboro, Westborough and Shewsbury come from John III, while most of the families in Framingham and various parts of Sudbury and Wayland come from John, the II.

    Immigration:
    Spring 1634 "HERCULES". John Witherley, Master, sailed in the spring of this year, and is probably the "Hercules" `of Dover' mentioned by Winthrop as being here in the summer.'

    John married Mary GATES on 5 Apr 1658 in Sudbury, Middlesex, Massachusetts. Mary (daughter of Stephen GATES and Ann VEARE) was born on 15 Oct 1636 in Hingham, Norfolkshire, England; was christened on 15 Oct 1636 in , Hingham, Norfolk, England; died in 1682 in Marlborough, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts.
