I was at the central public library here in Baltimore County last night and found a good many early Maryland Maynors (Mayner/Mainer/Mainor/Maner/Manor/Maynard). I thought I'd share what I found in the hope that someone might find it useful.
Note: I didn't go much past 1750 since my interest is in the Lumbee Indian Maynors of southeastern North Carolina, and the Indian Maynors were already in NC by 1750 or thereabouts.

GEOGRAPHIC NOTE: Maryland is divided by the Chesapeake Bay into two areas, known locally as the eastern shore and the western shore. The Chesapeake Bay runs north-south from its mouth at Norfolk, Virginia to its source near the Mason-Dixon line, which is the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania (& many say north and south). Maryland was first colonized in 1634 in Saint Mary's County. Saint Mary's County is located along the western shore at the extreme southern part of the Chesapeake Bay. All the early settlements were along the rivers which feed the bay, with most settlements being near the southern portions of the bay. Queen Anne's County is on the eastern shore about 1/2 way up the bay. Cecil County is at the top of the bay, at its source. Anne Arundel is on the western shore. The Magothy River is in Anne Arundel county. The Patapsco River is the river upon which the city of Baltimore is seated. Here endeth the geography lesson.
