I have finally solved the mystery of Lt.Robert Maynard. He died in 1751 in England. In his will (available for purchase online at Public Record Office, England)
he leaves parts of his estate to 1. his daughter-in-law Elizabeth Judson, with no children or grandchildren mentioned 2. his brother Thomas' widow 3. his friend Thomas Gee/Lee/See ?4. his mother Ann Maynard in England and 5. his two nephews Thomas and John Peck and niece Ann[Rathbun] in New England, children of his sister Margaret Maynard [Peck] Mitchell.
Since no children are mentioned AT ALL, I believe it's safe to assume he had no living children and probably no living grandchildren at the time of his death.
I descend from his sister Margaret and son John Peck.
Hope this helps someone.
