  David Swinson Maynard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Along with William Bell, Arthur Denny, David Denny, Henry Yesler, and Carson Boren he is considered to be one of Seattle's founding fathers.
Maynard, who arrived in the Seattle area separately from the Denny Party, was of a quite different demeanor than Arthur Denny's staunch Methodists.
He lived with both his wife and his ex-wife, drank liquor (while the Denny Party were mostly teetotalers) and deliberately found someone to start a good brothel in Seattle, believing that prostitution was essential to the economic success of a frontier town of that time.

 HistoryLink Essay:Maynard, Dr. David Swinson "Doc" (1808-1873)
Maynard lost confidence in the village after the Indian Wars of 1856 and traded his claim to much of present-day Pioneer Square for farm acreage in West Seattle.
Maynard was born in Vermont on March 22, 1808.
Denny later wrote that Maynard, "stimulated" on liquor, had decided, "he was not only monarch of all he surveyed, but what Boren and I surveyed too." Unable to agree, the neighbors filed two separate plats on May 23, 1853, and their dispute is memorialized today in the tangle of mismatched cross-streets along Yesler Way.

However, when it became clear that the tides at Alki were too strong to allow the building of piers, Terry moved to Seattle proper as well.
