Gould lists him between Elizabeth Maynard (born in 1692) and Moses Maynard (born in 1697) in his list of Zachariah and Hannah Maynard's children and calls him the seventh child; however, he does not show Mary, who was actually the sixth child, and Joseph is this (if Gould has placed him accurately) the eighth child.^[1] Gould included Joseph among the sons to whom he says Zachariah deeded land^[2] and in a list of children who signed a release of their rights to their brother Moses in February 1723.^[3]
