...Elisha B. Maynard, removed from Westchester county in 1790, and settled in Bovina, then a part of Stamford, Delaware county N.Y. During the revolutionary war he had been a loyal soldier and bravely fought in defense of the defense of the stars and stripes. He was a man of great intelligence and integrity, very prominent in his day, and for many years held the office of a magistrate in his county. When this old pioneer came to Bovina he found the place an almost unbroken wilderness, but there, amidst the bold, romantic hills and valleys, he went to work with a will, erected a log cabin, leveled the tall old trees around his humble home and cultivated the land. He was the first settler within the present limits of the town of Bovina, where his memory is still cherished. He had a family of five sons and seven daughters and Isaac, born in 1795, the father of the present Judge Maynard, was the third son. In 1824 he moved back to Westchester county upon the old family homestead there where he died in 1841...
