St Alban's church, Beaworthy
The medieval church seen from a corner of the churchyard. A typed sheet inside connects John Maverick, the rector from 1615 to 1629, with the derivation of the word "maverick". He sailed to America with his wife and 5 children on the "Mary and John" and helped found Dorchester, Massachusetts. Over 200 years later, his descendant, Samuel Maverick, became a successful cattle rancher in Texas. He was notorious for failing to brand his cattle, and stray unbranded calves were considered likely as not to belong to him. Hence a masterless, roving, casual person. This http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/CORNISH/1998-11/0911170737 relates the story but misplaces Beaworthy in Cornwall. Ironically, John Maverick owned just 2 cattle in Dorchester.
