Note

John Maine went to America in either 1629 or 1630. (Batten says he may have come from Plymouth, Devonshire, England).

This John changed the spelling of the name from Mayne to Maine. He married 1st Elizabeth Laurie (Lawrence) who was born 1623 in Exeter, Devonshire, England.

John married 2nd Mary Peacock of York. John was still living in April 1693. Elizabeth was still living in Jan 1684 or 1685 (Batten wrote that "John Main and John Atwell came from England in 1630, probably from Plymouth Devonshire").

In 1632 Richard tucker and George Cleaves, Fishermen of Wiscasset Point settled on Casco or Fore River, and laid the foundation of the first settlement on the neck known as Machigone, which is now Portland Maine. First Grants were to Atwell andLewis between 1637 and 1640. John Main lived on the Foreside on a point called "Maine Point" after him. John bought 60 acres from Richard Carter on the West side of the Wescustogo River. John Atwell married one of Main's daughters, probably Dorothy." (Batten from Maine Historical Society Collections, Vol 1 pag 65).

John Main was a juror on Jul 12 1666 and living in Yarmouth in 1675. In 1681 John Main was in York, Ma. where his name was written with a "Y" as he took the oath of allegience there. In 1687, John Main of Boston, in a petition to Governor Adrosand the council, says that, thirty years since, he purchased house and lands at what is now North Yarmouth, Maine and when the Indians burned his house and killed sons-in-law, he and his wife, with the rest of the family barely escaped".

John Mayne was given a land Grant to land in a then unnmaed part of North America. His first two son-in-laws were killed in an Indian attack.

The name of the state was derived from the name of the point where he lived. He received this land in 1629 and the land is still owned by his descendants. In 2029, it will have been in the family for 400 years. This is a record for the USA.
