He lived at 41 French Street, Dublin, and appears to be the son of Charles and Dorothea Mayne of Cootehill, county Cavan, so a close relative of the Maynes of Freame Mount and Glynch House, see https://www.scribd.com/doc/75988391/Sedborough-Mayne-of-Ireland# He married Charlotte, heiress of Edward Ellis of Rocklands, Stillorgan, county Dublin and they had a son Edward Ellis Mayne, born 1802. In the 1850s, the representatives of John Mayne held four townlands in the parish of Mullagh and one townland in the parish of Killinkere, county Cavan. Some of the lands left to Charles J. Coote under the will of [his father] Lord Bellamont in 1800 were sold to John Mayne in 1810. These lands were subject to an annuity to be paid to a Mrs Palmer and when this annuity was not paid a court case ensued, Coote v O’Reilly in June 1844, in the Court of Chancery as recorded in ‘Irish Equity Reports’ Volume 7, 356.
