I have a connection to many Maynard's in Kentucky, some who moved to Indiana. My husband's great grandmother is a Maynard, she is from Indiana, but a lot of her family came from Kentucky. She is 102 years old now and still living, will be 103 soon. Her name is Nellie Maynard.
I will have to dig up the info I have on her family. I know it is here somewhere, I just haven't gotten around to entering my notes into FTM, so it is all on CD's and paper. I believe, but am not 100% positive, that one of her parents was an Ellis (surname). Does any of this sound as if it fits in your info perhaps?

Good possiblity Kimber- I don't have an Ellis married to a Maynard in my files, but then again, I don't have all of the Maynard info either- is something else I am slowly but surely digging at- What I've got on Maynard's, among other things- is this main one- Jane Maynard who mrrd. Alexander Bishop- Jane and Alex were married about 1899 - but- don't know where for sure. They are a mystery. Finally found them in Mingo Co West Va in 1930- but their only two known children- well- finding out what happened to them is another mystery- Alex and Jane were basically off the face of the earth for like 20 years, not in the censuses that anyone could find- until 1930 census came out- but, at the same time, they were all over Pike County land transactions- was a mess! Jane's parents were William T. Maynard and Victoria Williamson- Her siblings were: Alvis Orville; Emily, Ben, Bertrand, George W., Anna, Ida, Ora, May, and two or three others I don't know for sure who they were-
William T. Maynard- Jane's father, was a son of Alvis Maynard, Sr.,. and Harriet Taylor. Most of this info came from a book called Alden Williamson Genealogy by Joseph W. Alley- put out by Cook Printing Company out of Huntington West Va 1962. There seem to have been a lot of connections between the Williamson family and the Maynard's. Course then too, most everybody in Pike County was related to everybody else though! If I do run across an Ellis associated with them, which I don't doubt I will for a second, I'll let you know!
