NOTE: Opal Lousin, 3 Dec 1992. ...."Must be immigrant.
Henry Maynor was of Baltimore Co., Maryland, evidently at times and as I figure it, he recieved 50 acres of land as a grant. See some of the
difficult pages to read enclosed. Also he must have a lot of land dealings in 1731, 1732, 1734, which shows something like St. Mary's land; the grant was 15 day of April 1684, other deals in 1696, 1731 and 1752 (grant is sometimes referred to as patent). His wife's name Susan is clearly shown on one page.Another deal 17th of 8th month 1744. Then in N.C. land is again mentioned. Susan died and he married a Jane Hockett and had two more children. Our Sarah Maynor was the daughter of Henry and Susan. Henry was a strong Quaker."...

Orange Co., Court Minutes 3 Aug. 1760Sarah Maynard is not listed in the Will of Henry Maynard as a daughter.
Orange Co., N.C. Will Bk. 1, pg. 12:HENRY MAYNOR...3rd Mar 1760 .... dau. Rachel ... dau. Mary ... (both 25 pounds - in money ? animals) but if either of them goes our of Marriage contrary to the rules and orders among Friends then only ten pounds ... dau. Elizabeth 5 pounds and dau. Susanna if she comes here forty shillings .. dau. Ann land on John Williams Creek ... dau. Betty plantation of land I now live on ...My Loving wife ... Executors Anthony Chamness & John Marshall .... Witness:
The widow is to be appointed guardian of the two youngest girls which would indicate that Sarah Maynard Bray's mother was named Susanah. A daughter, Mary, is not listed as an heir but may be inlcuded in "other children". A Susannah, now Manklin, was reported mou with consent of mother, 26th day, fifth month 1747 and may be the one mentioned in his will. In Fairfax MM, Fairfax Co., Va. records under date of 27th day of 10th month, 1759 states; "Sarah Bray, formerly Mayner, having been disowned for marriage out of unity soem time past, requests to be recorded in membership; also requests certificate to Cane Creek MM, N.C." This was issued on 24th day 11th mo. 1759. Henry Maynard/Maynor and wife Susannah had receivced a certificate from Hopewell MM to Carvers Creek MM, Bladen Co., N.C. 30th day of 4th mo. 1750.
The death date of Susannah is approximate as Henry remarried and mentioned his wife as Jean or Jane as widow. Since they had moved together to Carvers Creek MM it is reasonable to suspect she died before the move and that Henry remarried there before 1850 as he married in 1750 in N.C.
Anthony Chamness and John Marshall (Quakers) Exec's of Henry Maynor, dec's exhibited an inventory. On motion of William Cummings, Esq. Att'y in behalf of Jane Mayner widow of Henry Mayner, dec'd, that the said Jane may be appointed Guardian to the two youngest children of said Henry to wit Betty and Ann and that she appear at the Court to enter into bond. The Quaker records indicate that Jane is the second wife of Henry Maynor, his first wife Susannah apparently had died. Betty and Ann children of the second wife Jane Maynor.
Hopewell MM: p. 464, Hinshaw - HENRY MAYNER of Prince George Co., Md. and overseer, Farifax, Susannah, now (?) Manklin, repd. mou with consent of mother 5-26-1747. 4-30-1750 Henry Maynor and iwfe Susannah gct to Carvers Creek MM, Bladen Co., N.C. Information from some sources indicateds that possibly Susanna Maynard is supposed to have been half Indian. Also that Henry Bray b. c.1710? died in Chatham Co., N.C. 1793/4, will probated in 1794 m. Mary Wilson and their son was Edward Bray who married Saray Maynard. Records of Fairfax MM of Friends in fairfax Co., Va: 10-27-1759 "Sarah Bray, formerly Mayner, having been disowned for marriage our of unity some time past, requests to be recorded in membership; also requests certificate to Cane Creek MM, N.C."

In notes of Opal I am a little confused as she wrote, ..."Susannah mou Manklin 1747, Ann, Betty, James. He married 2nd to Jean Hoggett.?"From the notes of the Bray family; Sarah Maynard Bray in not listed in the will of her father, Henry Maynard, as a dau. Orange Co., N.C. Wil book 1, p. 12. The wil is dated 3rd day of march 1760 and mentions daughters Rachel, Mary, but if either of them goes out of Marriage Contrary to the rules and orders among Friends then only ten pounds", dau. Elizabeth, dau. Susannah ":if she come here".... dau. Ann, dau. Betty and wife Jane. The widow s to be appointed guardian of the two youngest girls which would indicate that possibly she was his second wife. Some records inidcate that Sarah Maynard Bray's mother was named Susanna. A daughter, Mary, is not listed as an heir but may be included in "other children." A Susannah, now Manklin, was reported married out of unity with consent of mother, 26th day fifth month 1747 and my be the one mentioned in his will. In Fairfax MM, Fairfax Co., Va. records under date of 27th day of 10th month, 1759 it states "Sarah Bray, formerly Mayner, having been disowned for marriage out of unity some time past, requests to be recorded in membership; also requests certificate to Cane Creek MM, N.C." This was issued on 24th day 11th month 1759. Henry Maynard/Maynor and wife Susannah had recieved a cerificate from Hopewell MM to Carvers Creek MM, Bladen Co., N.C. 30th day 4th Mo. 1750.
This is a guess to keep her death is perspective,as Henry remarried and mentioned his wife Jean or Jane as a widow. Since they had moved together in 1750 to Carvers Creek MM it is reasonable to suspect she may have died there and allowing Henry time to remarry as he had passed away about 1760 in Orange Co., N.C.
Another source picked up from the LDS archives shows a Thoams J. Close as
father in place of Goodman.
From Ye History of Ye Towne of Greenwich, Ct. by Spencer Mead, 1911.Came to America about about 1642 From original manuscript locatedat the New York City Historical Society. The Close family hasEnglish origins but probably originated with the Normans. John Closeappears to be the emigrant ancestor of the New England Close family.He arrived in Connecticut during the period of 1635-1645. He married awoman anmed Elizabeth and they were the parents of John and ThomasClose. Thomas married Sarah Hardy in 1669 and is the common ancestorof all Close's from Connecticut. Descendants live in Connecticut, NewYork and other states.
