  • Notes: 

  • Some sources give Howard Maynard's birth year as 1911, before his parents were married. Two separate transcriptions of Howard's birth record give 1911 and 1912 as the birth year respectively. Some state and federal census records support 1912 as well as the fact that his parents were married in January 1912. If possible, the original birth record should be examined to confirm that Howard's birth was legitimate.
