Biography

These sources don't show John's origins. He first appeared in the Duxbury records in his marriage record. Also, in 1643, John was listed on the list of those able to bear arms in Duxbury[1], however the family subsequently moved to Boston.

On May 16th,1640, he married Mary Starr, daughter of Comfort Starr and Elizabeth Watts[2] [3] [4] [5], and their children included:

  1. Mary, born circa 1643, who married John Pell[6]
  2. Hannah, a twin, baptized in 1648[7] No Further information found
  3. Lydia, a twin, baptized in 1648[7], who some have suggested was the wife of Joseph, son of Joseph Starr and Ruth Moore[8], however this has been disproven[9] [10]. Lydia married Samuel Hale[11]
  4. two others, these records note that they had 5 daughters.

Mary (Starr) Maynard died before 1658, when John Maynard remarried. His second wife was Elizabeth Wight, daughter of Robert Wight and Elizabeth Fulshaw, and widow of Joseph Pell and Nathaniel Eaton[12] [13] [5] Their children included

  1. Mary, who married John Pell, son of William and Alice Pell of Boston[14]

John died without a will on October 4, 1658[15], and his estate was administered July 29, 1659[16], shortly after the marriage. The inventory notes that some of the items come from Elizabeth's dower.

If what is here is true, then Mary Starr did not die on 22 Apr 1659, as I have it, which would me that John had to have divorced her, since he died in 1658.
