pg 467, Appendix “Time of the Arrival in New England of the Following Ministers” - 1630, Rev. John Maverick.3

Reverand John Maverick matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford, England, receiving his BA in 1599 and his MA and taking his holy orders by 1603. John was ordained as deacon and priest on 29 July 1697 in Devonshire. He was pastor of the church at Beaworthy from August 1615 until his resignation shortly before his emigration to New England in 1630. He later became a Puritan. He was made a freeman with the first group at Dorchester on 18 May 1631. He became the minister of the church there and was planning to move to Connecticut, but died at Dorchester on 3 February 1636 at the age of sixty.

Governor Winthrop, in his “Journal,” makes several references to Rev. Maverick and also his son, Samuel, who was in America as early as 1623. Winthrop says of Rev. Maverick: “He was a man of very humble spirit, and faithful in furthering the work of the Lord.”

Charles Edward Banks says that when John Maverick and his wife came to America on the “Mary and John,” they brought with them “their children, Elias, Mary, Moses, Aaron, Abigail, Antipas, and Margaret.”

On 19 March 1631/32 “Mr. Maverick, one of the ministers of Dorchester, in drying a little powder (which took fire by the heat of the fire pan), fired a small barrel of two or three pounds, yet did no other harm but signed his clothes. It was in the new meeting-house which was thatched, and the thatch only blacked a little.”58, Vol. 1, pg. 72
