I am a descendant of James Maynard of NC. born 1746 or 1750.
I find I must consider all spellings of the Maynard surname, because I find in the old records the people recording records used their own spelling. I find in the same line of the Maynard family at least 3 different ways of spelling the surname. So consider all forms of spelling and keep on researching.Charles Maynard
