Early Life
David Maule was the eldest son of
George Maule of
Cairncorthie and Muircloss and
Janet Milne.
This is a problematic part of the tree. David's father (George Maule of Cairncorthie) was probably born c. 1545, but David's grandson James was born in 1694. This makes a span of ~150 years for 3 generations. It's just about possible
George Maule of Cairncorthie b. 1545
David Maule (this entry) b. 1590 when his father was 45
Patrick Maule b. 1640 when his father was 50
James Maule b. 1694 when his father was 54
So three successive generations of very old fathers are required to cover this span of time with so few generations
