   "Moses² Maverick (John¹), of Marblehead, Mass., baptized at [South] Huish, co. Devon, England, 3 Nov. 1611, died at Marblehead 28 Jan. 1685/6, aged 76 years. He married first, before 6 May 1635, Remember Allerton, who came to New England in the Mayflower in 1620 and died after 1652, daughter of Isaac and Mary (Norris) Allerton; and secondly, in Boston, 22 Oct. 1656, Eunice (_____) Roberts, born about 1628 (by deposition in 1671, aged about 43 years), living 5 Dec. 1698, widow of Thomas Roberts.
   
   Moses Maverick was a proprietor at Dorchester, Mass., in 1633. On 6 Jan. 1633 it was ordered by that town that he should have the lot of land 'that was alloted for Edward Ransford'. Moses soon sold this property to John Greenway (Register, vol. 32, p. 57), moved to Salem, Mass., where he was engaged in 1634 in the fishing business, was admitted freeman 3 Sept. 1634, and settled at Marblehead as early as 1635. He paid to the General Court the rent for Noddle's Island (now East Boston) in 1636, having charge of it during the absence of his brother Samuel Maverick in Virginia. He was proprietor at Marblehead in 1637, constable in 1643, selectman, justice of the peace, and town clerk, and solemnized marriages at Marblehead previous to his death. He deposed in September 1662, aged 50 years; in November 1665, aged about 54 years; in March 1667, aged about 55 years; at the June Term, 1668, aged 57 years; at the March Term, 1669, aged 57 years; and at the June Term, 1669, aged about 58 years. (Marblehead Vital Records, vol. 3, p. 38.) He also deposed 23 Dec. 1674, aged about 64 years (Register, vol. 50, p. 203).
   
   His will, dated — Jan. 1685/6 but not signed by him, was presented by the widow for probate at the court held at Ipswich, Mass., 30 Mar. 1686, but some of the children objected to the proving of the will and the matter was referred to the next court to be held at Salem, Mass. Evidently the will was not allowed, for on 15 July 1686 Eunice Maverick, the widow, was appointed in Boston administratrix of the estate of 'Moses Maverick late of Marblehead deceased Intestate'. In 1691 Edward Woodman, a son-in-law of the deceased, twice petitioned the court to order the administratrix to give an account of her administration, and apparently in 1693 another such petition was presented by him. Final settlement of the estate was made 29 Nov. 1698."
