the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Samuel Maverick (1602) was one of the first colonists to settle in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Arriving ahead of the Winthrop Fleet, Maverick became one of the earliest settlers, one of the largest landowners and one of the first slave-owners in Massachusetts. He signed his name as "Mavericke". He is the ancestor of rancher Samuel Maverick, from whom the term for "independently minded" and an unbranded animal derives.

   "Samuel (Maverick), b. about 1602 (deposed 7 December 1665 'aged sixty-three years or thereabouts' [SLR 4:328]); m. between 1628 and 1630 Amias (Cole) Thompson, widow of David Thompson [NHGR 9:112]. (In a letter dated 30 May 1669 he stated that 'It is forty-five years since I came to New England' [NEHGR 96:236] and at another time he commented on 'my observations which for severall years I have spent in America, even from the year 1624' [NEHGR 39:46; see also Three Episodes 328-35 (which gets the marital history of Maverick and Thompson wrong)].)"

Elias and Moses did not live within our territory, altho their names occasionally appear in Me. records. Samuel, the first of the family to come over, with Robert Gorges, had much to do with Me. And held land in York. In the period betw. leaving Boston and going to New York he never had his home in Mass., and poss. it was here. His w. Amias was in Saco with their dau.

   "Samuel (Maverick), Boston, found here on Noddle's isl. by the Mass. comp. in 1630, hav. built a little fort with four small pieces of artil. so that we may be sure he was here in 1629, perhaps came in 1628, too late for liability to expense of the expedit. of Endicott against Morton. He desir. adm. 19 Oct. 1630, into the comp. but did not take the freeman's o. until 2 Oct. 1632. Against all probabil. he is call. s. of Rev. John by a writer of more animation than exactness, in Hist. of E. Boston; and even the careful Hist. of Dorchester, 404, confident. says the same. For his habit of hospitality, he was requir. in the spring of 1635, to change his resid. and move to the peninsula, but that tyranny was not enforced, and in the autumn of the same yr. he went to Virg. to buy corn, was absent almost a yr. He was one of the king's Commissrs. 1665, and in a depon. 9 Dec. 1665, sw. he was 63 yrs. old. Of his fam. only w. Amias, d. Mary, and s. Nathaniel, and Samuel are kn. Nathaniel, wh. was a merch. in a conveyance by his f. and mo. 1650, of the isl. to some creditors, is styled heir of Noddle's isl. and he join. in the security. But we never hear more of him. Mary m. 8 Feb. 1656, John Palsgrave, and next, 20 Sept. 1660, Francis Hooke. She, in a petitn. to Andros, a few wks. bef. his overthrow, tells a strange story a. her elder br. defraud. his f. of the title to Noddle's isl. wh. had above seventeen yrs. been own. by Col. Samuel Shrimpton, under sale from Sir Thomas Temple. It may be, that, as Shrimpton was oppos. to Sir Edmund A. tho. one of his council, that this was a contrivance to get rid of him. See Geneal. Reg. VIII. 334."
