Anna I made a mistake, another one, I can find them until the 1880's, and after that nothing on Silas or Adeline Mainord . They were only 39 & 40 years of age then?.......I have checked all spellings of the surname of Maynard, they are Mainord, Mainard, Maynard, but not Minyards. Thanks so much. I have not seen that one. I wonder if the census takers could to spell the names, or if the people themselves could not?I think I have seen it spelled Minor also. Thanks again Anna, cannot wait to get home to check this Minyard spelling. Lea > > Have you checked for alternate spellings of Maynard?

Lea, Was your Silas Mainord/Maynard in the Civil War? If so, there could be a pension file that would answer your questions. I found two Confederate soldiers serving from Tennessee on the US Soldiers and Sailors website. One was Silas A. Maynard or Mainard (4th Battalion, Tennessee Cavalry) and the other was Silas D. Maynard (25th Regiment Tennessee Infantry. Since Kentucky is a border state it is possible men from there would join up in Tennessee. Since the 1890 population census was destroyed there is a 20 year gap between the census of 1880 and the next one in 1900. This is always a difficult time to research. Did any of Silas's children marry during those years? If so, where? It is possible Silas would be where his children were. Have you checked the deed books? Just a few thoughts . . . Anna Bertram
