The Old Bethabra (Maynard Family) Church Cemetery
[information from Lawrence Maynard]
According to the book, BEADLAND TO BARROW, the Maynard family was the
first to draw a lot in the section of Jackson Co, GA "near County line
school," following the Revolutionary War. A "Nattie", probably Nathaniel,
Maynard established a family cemetery in 1813 and offered neighbors access
to the cemetery and a site to build a church. The Bethabara Baptist Church
held services at this site until about 1855-1856 when they moved to their
present location.
The Old Maynard Cemetery continued to be used as a burial place into the
early 1900s. It is located off Mulberry Road at the corner of Jim Johnson &
Mulberry Road. According to the Barrow County, Georgia Cemetery Book there
are approximately 50 graves that are marked by field stones. Nathaniel and
wife Elizabeth Matthews Maynard are believed to be buried here as well as
sons Cornelius and Thomas. Most of the marked graves are those of their son
John and his family. Son Nicholas moved to Mississippi and is buried there.
The reason for this article is the fact that there is disagreement as to
who the three people are who are buried within the iron fence. According to
transcriptions of dates from the flat slab markers made years ago by Roger
K. Murphy, a Maynard descendant, there is no doubt that the middle slab
marks the grave of Nathnael T. Maynard,01 Jun 1820-27 Feb 1873. The first
slab
within the fence marks the grave of his first wife, Lucinda Hosch Maynard,
27 Oct 1823-12 Mar 1849.
The third slab is believed to cover the grave of his 2nd wife, Elizabeth
Smith Maynard, 02 Jun 1833-abt 1878.
