EF. (child) Maple"

T. Grant Maple suggested that Robert may have been a son of John Maple, without stating why. He may have suspected that this was so because John is known to have had a grandson named Isaiah. Robert's son Isaiah, however, is not the grandson Isaiah Maple mentioned in John's will.
