Jackson Maynard - Rachel E. Barnett

Jackson Maynard's first marriage was to Rachel E. Barnett April 27, 1865 in Monroe County, Tennessee by Rev. Andrew King.  Rachel had previously been married to Alexander B. Lindsey which we will cover in another post later.

Jackson (John Maynord) and Rachel are recorded on the 1870 Monroe County, Tennessee Census.  Living with the familiy are Mary and Alicend (Lindseys).  We will mention these children with Rachel on another posting.  This is the only document that we have found Jackson mentioned as John - not sure why.

Jackson (Mayner) and Rachel are also recorded on the 1880 Monroe County census.   Living with them are Rachel's mother - Louisa Barnett and Tennessee (Lindsey) Tate being divorced.  Not completely sure about why Tennessee is living with the Maynard family.  (We will touch on Tennessee on another posting).  This census is two parts - he is listed at the bottom of the first page and continued on the top of the second page.

Jackson and Rachel had nine children:

• William Nelson Maynard (Will)  born January 31, 1866
• John H. Maynard  born December 10, 1867
• Joseph C. Maynard  born February 14, 1870
• Louisa Josephine Maynard (Josie)  born 1871
• Matilda Caldonia Maynard (Donie)  born May 12, 1874
• Thomas Newton Maynard (Tom) born August 5, 1876
• Isaac M. Maynard (Ike) born January 30, 1878
• Ella S. Maynard  born May 5, 1880
• Henry Dugan Maynard (Dougie)  born June 14, 1882

This picture is a photo taken from a tin-type that was sent to me by Colleen Murphy Paggi.  Pictured are sitting Jackson holding Ella, Isaac standing, Rachel is sitting holding Henry. Second row is Josie, Tom, Donie, and Joseph.  Back row is Will and John.  This picture was probably taken about 1884.
