This article was originally written for Nos Ancetres Les Maulois, the journal of the Association Culturelle pour L'Information des Maulois, which published a condensed version a few years ago, in French (Quelques Membres Eminents Des Familles Maule Americaines, 30 Nos Ancetres Les Maulois 34 (1995)). This is its first public appearance in English. See the copyright notice at the bottom of this page.

When Mme. Baxas asked me several years ago to write an article about prominent members of the American Maule family, I was honored to be given the opportunity to share Maule family history with the citizens of our ancestral town. I apologize that it has taken three years for this article to appear. The reason was NOT a shortage of prominent American Maules! It was simply that my professional and personal lives have been very busy.

Writing this article has made me appreciate the difficulties and challenges faced by editors of biographical dictionaries, who must draw a somewhat arbitrary line between those to be included and those to be excluded. Many members of the American Maule family have accomplished much within their chosen fields, and have done much of which they can be proud. Not surprisingly, there are no infamous Maules in the family, and the proverbial horse thief has yet to surface!

I would like to share the bases on which I chose the persons whose biographies follow. First, I limited my selections to Thomas Maule of Salem, Massachusetts, and his descendants, because the intensive research into that family has not been matched with respect to any of the other Maule families that have settled in America and so little, in comparison, is known about them. Second, I selected each individual who, to the best of my knowledge, has been the subject of an entry in a biographical dictionary, has been memorialized in a New York Times obituary, has written widely published books, has engaged in activities that brings him or her to the attention of a regional or national audience, has held or sought major public office, or has been the recipient of widely recognized prizes or awards. Many of the biographies are brief, because in some instances I have had access to only a limited amount of information. There surely must be other members of the family who would have been included had I known more about them.

For every person who is described in one of the following biographies, there are dozens of family members who have been widely known within their local community, who have provided valuable community service, who have operated successful businesses, who have served with distinction in the military, who have raised fine families, and who have overcome much adversity to achieve their successes. I think, in no particular order, and with apologies to those not mentioned by name, of Edward Maule, who settled Beaver Crossing, Nebraska, while living with his family in a sod house, of Mary Anna Maule and Edith Zink, who taught in their respective communities for more than fifty years and earned the respect of so many students and other citizens, of the many members of the Mendenhall-Anderson branch of the family who served Cincinnati and its institutions so well for many years, of William Maule and his son Wynne M. Maule, who served as dedicated senior public servants in the United States Forest Service and Park Service, respectively, of George Stephenson Maule, who for many years owned and operated Maule Drug Store in Wichita, Kansas, and of the many other teachers, attorneys, household managers, executives, writers, mechanics, athletes, stock brokers, truck drivers, bankers, environmentalists, performers, farmers, clergy, secretaries, physicians, scientists, engineers, retailers, skilled artisans, trades workers, and others who so magnificently contributed to society. Let us not forget that each of the individuals described in the following biographies had parents to whom some credit, at least, must be given.

The sequence in which the biographies appear is that in which the subjects appear in the 1981 genealogy of the family (or, if they are not in it, the sequence in which they will appear in the second edition). It would have been foolhardy for me to attempt to present the biographies in any sequence purportedly reflecting rank of some sort. For those interested in additional information, sources have been cited. To help identify individuals, their descents from Thomas Maule are shown at the beginning of their biographies.

1. Thomas Maule of Salem, Massachusetts

Thomas Maule was the progenitor of the largest branch of the American Maule family. He was born in Berkswell Parish, Warwickshire, England, on May 11, 1645. Around 1658, he left England, probably as a consequence of the domestic turmoil then afflicting that country. The Maules had opposed Cromwell and the Protectorate, and it is speculated that Thomas, who went first to Barbados, went there to find his father, who might have been sent there by Cromwell as a prisoner.

Around 1668, Thomas went to Boston, Massachusetts, where he successfully continued the tailor and trading business he had established while in Barbados. Ten years later, he moved to Salem, Massachusetts, where he lived until he died on July 2, 1724. Had this been the full extent of Thomas' life, perhaps he would not have been so "famous".

Thomas, however, became a member of the Society of Friends (Quakers), either while in Barbados or while in Boston or while in Salem, depending on which records one trusts. Some reports claim that Thomas went to Massachusetts for health reasons, which is believable considering the climate of Barbados. Others claim that Thomas went to Massachusetts as a convinced Quaker anxious to bring the teachings of George Fox to a colony dominated by those who had been allied with the alleged captor of his father. Certainly Thomas' role in the events that followed support the latter claim.

Thomas engaged in many fierce controversies with the Puritans, particularly Cotton Mather and the "witch-burners" of Salem. Thomas verbally attacked the minister of Salem for allegedly preaching lies. For this, he was whipped. He was consistent in his attacks, because in one of his writings he discloses that he was imprisoned five times, whipped three times, and fined three times. In 1695, Thomas wrote, and had William Bradford, a New York printer, publish Truth held forth and maintained according to the testimony of the holy prophets Christ and his apostles recorded in the Holy Scriptures. Among the points discussed by him in the pamphlet was an allegation that God would adversely judge the prosecutors of the Salem witch trials. He did so in a style of such "cool and cutting sarcasm" that the Puritan authorities, who were very sensitive about the matter, lost all patience with Thomas Maule. The Massachusetts Bay Colony Council ordered his arrest and the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts issued the arrest warrant on December 12, 1695. George Curwin, the sheriff, arrested Thomas and seized 31 copies of the pamphlet. The authorities arrested Thomas because none of the printers within the Massachusetts Bay Colony jurisdiction had printed the pamphlet.

Thomas Maule was brought before the Council and the Governor in Boston. He refused to answer any questions, and demanded to be tried in his own county by a jury of his peers. He was released on bail, and the grand jury brought a charge of slanderous publication and blasphemy. The trial took place at Salem, in 1696, before his Majesty's Superior Court of Judicature, Court of Assize and General Gaol Delivery, the justices present being Thomas Danforth, Elisha Cooke, and Samuel Sewall.

At the trial, Thomas addressed the court and argued that with respect to religious matters the court had no power. He then addressed the jury, pointing out to it that it was bound by the King's law, no part of which Thomas had broken. He also told the jury that the presence of his name on the pamphlet as author meant nothing since it was the printer who put it there; this point had no basis in the law. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, explaining to the court that the pamphlet was insufficient evidence of the charges against Thomas Maule because his name had been placed on it by the printer.

The impact of Thomas Maule's trial cannot be understated. For the first time in a reported trial, the jury ignored the directions of the court to find a defendant guilty. The growing public impatience with secular interference with religious matters undoubtedly affected the jury, which made clear that it disclaimed any authority by the court over religious matters. The break between governmental control of secular matters and religious matters that surfaced in Thomas Maule's trial set a precedent that contributed at least in part to the First Amendment principle of separation of church and state. The result in Thomas Maule's trial was cited as authority in the John Peter Zenger case, which is regarded as the threshold decision underlying the development of the First Amendment principle of freedom of the press.

Knowledge of the acquittal in Maule's trial went immediately to the three printing houses in Boston, and by mail to New York and Philadelphia. Local Boston printers stopped seeking approval for many items, and authors stopped sending controversial works out of the colony for printing. The volume of pamphlet publishing increased significantly. To printers, the Maule case meant the right to print controversial pamphlets without being subjected to penalties.

After his acquittal, Thomas continued to write. In 1697, he wrote an account of his trial in New England persecutors mauled with their own weapons; giving some account of the bloody laws made at Boston against the King's subjects. In 1703, he wrote For the service of truth against George Keith; a religious pamphlet. He also wrote Letter to Cotton Mather, date unknown. Even though he continued to write, the atmosphere in New England had changed and Thomas devoted more energy to his store and to the affairs of the Salem Monthly Meeting of Friends, which put much confidence in him as an elder. He also held minor public offices, such as supervisor of roads, married twice, and raised eleven children.

Unquestionably, Thomas Maule made a lasting impact. In his novel The House of the Seven Gables, Nathaniel Hawthorne makes use of the name Maule, surely inspired by the events in Salem many years earlier, and gives the name a permanent spot in literary history.1

2. Joshua Baldwin Maule

(Thomas M., Thomas M., Jacob M., Joshua Baldwin M.)

Joshua was born on May 15, 1806, in Radnor Township, Chester (now Delaware) County, Pennsylvania. He was a blacksmith who was living in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1827 when the schism between Orthodox and Hicksite factions split the Society of Friends. Joshua sided with the Hicksites, even though the family remained Orthodox, but after moving to Colerain, Ohio in 1832, Joshua and many others became members of the Guernseyites, who separated from the Hicksites. Shortly thereafter, Joshua led yet another faction from the Guernseyites, and the sect, though short-lived, was known as the "Maulites".

Joshua wrote many religious tracts, including A Plea for the Unchangeable Truth, Reasons for the Necessity of Silent Waiting, and Transactions and Changes in the Society of Friends. Joshua married twice, had four children, and died on Aug. 8, 1887, in Colerain, Ohio. Many of his descendants still live in eastern Ohio.2

Evert was born on June 12, 1876, in Pennsylvania. In 1913, he founded the Maule Ojus Rock Company, a rock-crushing operation, in southern Florida. The first rock used to ballast the tracks of the Florida East Coast Railway came from the Maule quarries. In the early 1920's, Evert discovered that by washing, screening, and controlling the gradation of rock screening, always before considered to be a waste product, one could obtain a highly satisfactory concrete sand; this discovery stepped up the building history of Florida because until that time, all sand used in making concrete had to be imported or unsatisfactory beach sand had to be used. The rock-crushing operation was expanded to include a concrete block plant, and the manufacture of concrete floor tiles, septic tanks, concrete pipe, and other small concrete products, a line of building supplies, and reinforced steel fabrication plant. Eventually, Maule Industries, Inc., as Evert's company was eventually renamed, owned 18 plants in Florida. The company remained in the Maule family until 1951, when it was sold to the Chemical Research Corp. of Delaware. Evert died on August 10, 1939.
