#11 - Christopher Columbus Maynard

Known facts about Christopher –

·        Born in 1750 in North Carolina
·        3 Children – Christopher “One-Eyed Kitty”, Nancy & James
·        Wife’s name may be Elizabeth Greenstreet


Some people have his wife as Elizabeth Jenny Greenstreet.  Others indicate his mother is Jenny Greenstreet.  However, I haven’t seen documented sources to indicate which is true.

Found a copy of some old minutes of the Roaring River Baptist Church in Wilkes County, NC that references a Christopher Maynard, Gibson Maynard & a James Maynard in the 1790’s.  This may be this family.

My only source of information on Christopher comes from Roland B. Maynard’s book, The Maynards of East Kentucky: From Pioneers to the Tenth Generation.

    1. I don't know if it is still available. The author passed away several years ago. Try Googling it and see if it can be found.
