Marilyn - your message prompted me to the check data again. Firstly, Maynard or Mainard, it's the same name; the "y" version is more common (greek "i"), although the "i" version (latin "i/j") is also well known - both are thought to originate from Suffolk: I would recommend using both versions as many people were illiterate - phonetically they are the same. I know that Martha A Reeves is my gt gt grandmother and guess her mother is Mary Maynard, because my gt grandmother is Mary Maynard Foreman b.1862, Martha's daughter, hence Maynard-Reeves link. From the LDS site I see that John Foreman m. Mary Maynard 1819 (she must have been young), because her son John b.1822 & son Thomas Reeves b.1838; Maria b.1835; William b.1831; George b.1826; Stephen b.1824; Martha A b.1828 (LDS checked against 1881 census aged 53).
I'll continue later, there is so much to exchange with you.
Regards, Jeremy (Amsterdam).
