Notes:

   She was the daughter of Henry MAYNER (MAYNARD) and Susannah COALES (or COLE).

   Her mother Susannah was said to be half-Indian. Susannah was born abt. 1710 in Baltimore, MD (or 1695 in Leaky Springs, VA according to another researcher), and died 19 Feb 1756 in Orange Co., NC. Some of her descendants say that Sarah MAYNARD was half "Tuckahoe" Indian, but this is probably a mistake because her mother (Susannah COALES) is also said to be half Indian, which would make Sarah one-quarter Indian.

   Henry "Maynor" was a Quaker and was appointed an overseer for the Monoquesy Particular Meeting, MD, which was part of Fairfax Monthly Meeting, VA (see http://www.geocities.com/mckyrbnsn/meetings/fairfax.html). Therefore his daughter Sarah was probably born in Maryland rather than Virginia. Henry Mayner later moved to Orange Co., NC, where he died about 1760.
