Everything seems to fit. The three daughters of Lorinda listed in her estate were likely the Leona (10), Leola(8) and Diana (2) of the 1870 census. The first two would have been the daughters of s. Dickson, but living with their mother and step-father David T. Maynard. I believe there is a mistake in the information in the Military History citation. Alanson W. Maynard was my grandfather and died on his 87th birthday Aug. 21, 1921 at his home in Blooming Grove Twp., Richland Co. The Alanson that died Aug6, 1881 was probably his infant son, Alanson Ellis Maynard, who was born Aug 7, 1880 Would there be a death record for a child that young? Best regards, David Maynard Franklin NC maynard@dnet.net >> Hi David, Sorry, I goofed. In re-reading the article on page 16 re Alanson W. MAYNARD, I find I mistook the death date (August 6, 1881) of Alanson Ellis, son of Alanson W. and Polly (ELLIS) MAYNARD, for the death date of his father. This biographical sketch on Alanson W. MAYNARD is fairly detailed on his experiences during the Civil War, as well as on his family . It is too lengthy to give here, but if you have further interest, HCC/OGS has this publication (A Military History, etc.) on sale for $7.00 to non-Ohio residents. Go to the HCC/OGS home page (www.rootsweb.com/~ohuron) and click on Huron County Books for details. I looked in our Death Index, 1867-1908, for Huron County, Ohio for a reference to Alanson Ellis MAYNARD, without success. I note they do list death dates for young infants, however. You might write the Probate Court, Huron County Courthouse, 2 E. Main St., Norwalk, Ohio 44857 to see if they can help you. They are listed for holding birth and death records from 1867-1908.
