A PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF DELAWARE AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES, IND.
A.W. Bowen & Co., 1894

        WASHINGTON MAYNARD is a native of the Buckeye state, and a well
known citizen of Washington township, this county. He was born in
Tuscarawas county, Ohio, June 21, 1837, being the son of Benjamin and Letha
(Tracy) Maynard, both natives of Virginia. The father removed to Tuscarawas
county when a young man, farming there, and remained there until 1841,
when, with his family, he came to Washington township and bought eighty
acres of land in section 27. Later he purchased eighty acres, where he
remained until his death, which occurred in August, 1883. He and his wife
were members of the Methodist church. Benjamin Maynard was a republican,
and gave his hearty support to that party.
        Washington Maynard came here with his parents, and remained with
them until the age of twenty-four; receiving a good common school education
as he grew up. At the age named he owned forty acres of land in Harrison
township, which he sold, and bought the same amount in section 29, in
Washington township. Here he lived until 1868, and then moved to New
Corner, and engaged in mercantile business for fourteen months, at the
expiration of which time he sold out and moved back to the farm. Here he
remained until 1891, and then again moved to New Corner, where he now
lives, and is a notary; having been a justice of the peace for twelve
years, he is very familiar with all kinds of legal forms.
        Mr. Maynard was married September 24, 1860, to Martha J. Thompson,
daughter of David and Melinda (Davis) Thompson. She was born January 10,
1842, in Delaware county. Her father was born October 27, 1817, and her
mother May 13, 1820, in Butler county, Ohio, and came to this county in
1840, where Mr. Thompson engaged in farming up to 1872. In this year he
removed his family to Muncie, where he now lives a quiet retired life. He
and his wife are members of the Church of God. In politics he is a
prohibitionist, and is very earnest in his support of that party. Mr.
Maynard is the father of the following children: Mary Alice, George Thomas,
and Munroe, deceased; John and Sherman. He and wife are members of the
Methodist church, both identifying themselves with the church in early
life. Mr. Maynard is a trustee in the church, and superintendent of the
Sunday-school. In politics he is a prohibitionist, and firmly believes that
party is necessary to the salvation of the country.
