Christopher "Kit" Maynard was the son of James and Rebecca Chappel Maynard. He married Eva Shockey (1808-1912), daughter of John R. and Elizabeth "Betsy" Simpson Shockey, on September 9, 1835. They are said to have 16 children. The names we found were Barnabas, George Washington, Stephen, John, Elisabeth, Rebecca, Deannah, James, Marinda, Malinda, Margaret, Vina, Henry, and Caroline. Eva died in November 1912, a few days before her 104th birthday.
According to Roland Burns Maynard's book, The Maynards of East Kentucky, Christopher "Kit" Maynard was the first white child born on Brushy. "They [James and Rebecca] began housekeeping near the mouth of Spankum Branch of Brushy Creek between a cliff and a large part of it that had broken loose ages ago, and slid down about 15 feet. James enclosed each end with logs, leaving a door at one end and covered it with riven boards. One day when James was away from home, a bear stuck its foot under the floor and Rebecca cut its foot off with a foot adz."
