  	Biography He was born in 1697. Research Notes There is a record of a will of "John Maw of Epworth"[1], which appears to be this John Maw as he mentions his grandson John Henry Maw, but not his son John Maw who died shortly before the will was signed. It says[2]: "I give and bequeath unto George Lister of Eastoft --- in the County of Lincolnshire, Esquire and my grandson John Henry Maw land..and land in Hatfield, County of York In Trust.. "..my daughter Elizabeth." "..my grandsons Thomas Caister and John Caister." "..my grandson William Barnard." "..my daughter Mary" "..my brother Robert and unto his son Robert of Eastoft" "..my wife Ann.." "..my daughter Ann.." "..my daughter Mary Barnard.." "..my grandson William Barnard and his three sisters His wife is likely to be Ann Garnestone, with a marriage in 1732 at Kettlethorpe, Lincolnshire[3] (or Gomston[4] or Gamston[5]) The will mentions property in both Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, so it is not clear where he was born. There is a record of a John Maw christened on 16 February 1707 in Epworth, Lincolnshire, with parents John and Mary Maw[6], however this begs the question of why the person here is referred to as "John Maw 1" in the family tree records. Another baptism on 16b July 1711 in Haxey, Lincolnshire has the father's name Andrew Maw[7]. Sources ?
