John Maynard’s English home has been identified as the county of Cambridge, where he was born c1600. He died on 10 December 1672 in Sudbury, Middlesex, Massachusetts.

I am sharing an image of the will of John Maynard, but the image is not crisp, so I am not going to even attempt to transcribe it. His wife, Mary, is mentioned along with all of his children except Hannah.
