Additional biographical information added Sept. 2010 by Richard B Cook, as follows:
The Rev. John Maverick (1578-1635/6) and his wife Mary Gye (c. 1580-aft 1666) and children were among the earliest settlers of Dorchester, MA. John was born in Awliscombe, Devonshire, England. The date of his baptism in Awliscombe was Dec 28 1578. John Maverick's parents were the Rev. Peter ("Bull") Maverick (c. 1550-c. 1616) and Dorothy Tucke (?-?). Peter Maverick was reported to have died a violent death. No details have been uncovered. The well-educated John Maverick received a B.A. (1599) and an M.A. (1603) from Exeter College, Oxford. John Maverick was ordained a priest in 1597 at Exeter, Devonshire. [. . .]
On Oct. 28, 1600 John Maverick married Mary Gye (app 1580-aft 1666). Mary Gye's documented genealogy is so vast as to extend some eleven generations back from her into thick medieval mists. Even though these fogs have never lifted and are not likely ever to lift, tenacious researchers of this line have tracked Mary Gye's ancestry to Charlemagne (747-813/14) and even to his Belgian grandfather, Charles Martel (the Hammer) (689-741), and on to Charlemagne's great grandfather, Pippin the Middle (aka Pippin the Fat) (635/40-714) and to Pippin's girlfriend, Alpaida (Elfide, Chalpaida). [. . .]
After serving as rector for fourteen years (1615-1629) in the West Country, at Beaworthy in Devonshire, John Maverick resigned in order to sail to New England. [. . .]
Mary and John Maverick decided to embark with their family for America and there create an evangelical nation in the wilderness, truly under the sovereignty of God alone. So they believed. [. . .]
The Nonconformists' cause in England was greatly aided by its antagonists, with pride of place belonging to Archbishop William Laud (1573-1645), who was vindictive, cruel and ineffective. During his tenure as Bishop in London and finally at Canterbury, Bishop Laud looked increasingly to the unpopular Charles I (1600-1649) for the enforcement of church dictums. [. . .] Laud set himself against Parliament at a time when Parliament would assert itself against the King. The inflexible and unimaginative Laud staked all on Charles I. As a result, the two-way ecclesiastical denunciations of the 1620's became root-and-branch political warfare through the 1630's and bloody military battles in the decade following. In 1641 Laud was put in the Tower of London and, in the midst of three consecutive civil wars (1642-45, 48-49, 49-51), was beheaded in 1645. Charles I lost his head four years later. [. . .]
Before their 1630 departure for America, the 140 reformer-immigrants gathered at Plymouth, chose John Maverick as one of the teachers of the Puritan church there. He was then selected one of two ministers to come to New England aboard the ship Mary & John. The Maverick family sailed from Plymouth in March 1630. Their ship was not formally associated with the seventeen ships in the convoy lead by John Winthrop. But the Mary & John, sailed with those ships and with the same destination, Massachusetts Bay Colony. They arrive safely.
In 1632, the Reverend John Maverick was one of a committee of four, convened in Charlestown, to decide whether Governor Winthrop was at fault in a complaint made by the deputy governor, Thomas Dudley. Winthrop was accused of malfeasance for failing to move his residence to a new town ("Newtown") from Boston, after he had agreed to do so. Deputy Governor Dudley, apparently given to sudden anger, "began to be in a passion" over a number of other complaints he raised to the committee against Winthrop. When the two officials rose angrily towards each other, Maverick and the other committee members intervened to keep the governor and the deputy from coming to blows. The committee found some fault with Winthrop but not so much as Dudley would have wished.
In 1633, John Maverick was chosen one of four men, two ruling ministers and two deacons, who established the rules of government for the town of Dorchester, MA. With twelve men of Dorchester chosen in 1633 as selectmen, Dorchester's was the first organized New England town government. The old town encompassed areas, which were eventually renamed as the population increased: Milton, Canton, Stoughton, Sharon [. . .]Dorchester Heights [. . .]
When he died in 1635-6 at about 60 years of age, John Maverick was eulogized by Governor Winthrop and others. Maverick was described as a man "of very humble spirit, and faithful in furthering the work of the Lord here, both in the churches and civil state." [. . .]
The speculation of genealogists has arrived at the idea that all American Mavericks descend from Mary Gye and John Maverick. This would include the prominent nineteenth and twentieth century Texas Mavericks, who gave their surname as the very definition of going-your-own-way. Samuel Augustus Maverick, a Texas rancher and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836, is said to have been lax about branding his cattle. Since everyone else's cattle was branded, his unidentified cattle could be easily distinguished. "Maverick" cattle belonged to the Maverick who refused to go along with the branding.
John and Mary Gye Maverick‘s gravesites are unknown. The location of the earliest Dorchester cemetery and meeting house is unrecorded.

DID MARY GYE DESCEND FROM CHARLEMAGNE

Did Mary Gye descend from Charlemagne?
God knows, might say a Puritan divine,
Like husband John, a man bold to made plain
That Calvin's theories shaped his somber mind.
From old England they moved; could not conform.
Was this move foreordained like Mary's line?
God knows, they fought against high churchly norms.
In Massachusetts, John's health soon declined.
Widowed Mary, life split between two shores,
Likely dismissed all though of ancestry.
God knows, her neighbors raised flintlocks and more,
To cut the native line root, branch and tree.
We show our pride when genealogies prove long.
God knows, the first Indian lines are gone.
They had nine known children: Samuel, Elias, Mary, Aaron, Mary PARKER, Moses, Abigail Manning, Anitpas, & John.
