Unlikely that the Maul (legislator) was the same as the Maull (of Maull's landing), no source links the two (see also, unreliable source but still...). Plus, all sources seem to use Maull, so why "Maul"? Needs more work before it is ready for mainspace. Fram (talk) 19:49, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

I removed the bit Fram is disputing. It stated:

"Benton was settled on land owned by James Maull and was initially known as Maull's Landing before being renamed and incorporated as Benton in 1834. "
