3 Anderson Mainard

Company D, 13th Kentucky Cavalry, USA

21 Oct 1863-13 Dec 1864

Anderson is the son of Andrew "Drury" Maynard and Elizabeth "Betsy" Williams. He chose to use a different spelling for his surname, Mainard. He was married three times. His first marriage was to Elizabeth "Betsy" Sheldon. We do not know who her parents were. Anderson is with his parents in the 1850 census in Tennessee. In the 1860 census he is in Clinton County, Kentucky with his wife, Betsy, his mother and two of his siblings. So, we know he and Betsy married before 1860 but whether in Tennessee or Kentucky, we do not know. Why is mother and siblings were with him in Kentucky in 1860 we also do not know. Perhaps they were just visiting or perhaps moving to a safer area in anticipation of the Civil War. We don't know. By 1870, Anderson and Betsy have migrated to Wayne County, Kentucky. They do not appear to have added any children in that time period but are joined in the census by what we suspect are Betsy's siblings. There is much we need to learn about Anderson during this period. If anyone knows anything, please contact me.

By the 1880 census, Betsy is "gone", and Andrew has a second wife, Martha. Her last name and parentage we do not know. And, Andrew has migrated again. This time he is in Adair County, Kentucky. In this census, there are five children

with Andrew and Martha. Further research indicates these children were born in the years 1871-1879.
 

Anderson dies in 1890 in Lincoln County, Kentucky. Sometime between 1880 and his death, he picks up a 3rd wife, Angeline. We only know of her existence as she filed for and received a widow's pension after Anderson's death.      

Anderson enlisted on 15 Aug 1863 in Allen County, Kentucky and was mustered in on 23 Dec 1863 in Columbia, Adair County, Kentucky. He was appointed to Corporal on 25 Dec 1863. Service records indicate he was present for all roll-calls

 but nothing else significant in the record until he was mustered out on 10 Jan 1865 at Camp Nelson, Kentucky.Anderson applied for and was approved for an invalid pension on 18 Dec 1879. His widow, Angeline, applied for and was approved

 for a widow's pension on 29 Jul 1890. A minor grandson, John H. Manning was also included in the pension.

18   Wm. Burton CO.  C  6^th KY CAV CSA

William M Burton, also known as William R. Burton, was born to John J. and Malinda ( also spelled "Mahulda) Burton. His birth dates range from 1836 to 1841 but 1836 is on the tombstone and seems the more accurate. He stated that he was 22

and born in 1840 when he married for the first time in 1862. He married Mary " Polly" Warren, the daughter of Fielden and Rebecca Warren, on December 30, 1862 in Pulaski County and they had at least three children before she apparently died around 1875-76.

William then married Minerva Acton ( Action), daughter of James and Elizabeth Warren Acton, on August 14, 1876 in Pulaski City, Kentucky and they had at least eight children together and remained married until she died in the early 1920's 
After he went missing from the Confederate 6th Kentucky Calvary in October 1862 it seems he made it to Pulaski County in order to marry Mary in December ( altering his age in the process). He then, as many others did in Eastern Kentucky,

joined the Union Army as a private in Company H, 32nd Kentucky Infantry, July 1863 and served until some time in 1864.
On March 1, 1907 William applied for his Civil War Pension

 No Number Thomas Houp

Birth 15 Jan 1821   Tennessee, USA, Thomas married Nancy V Hensley.  They had 8 children.

Death 1 Mar 1902 (aged 81)   Mercer County, Kentucky, USA Co B 6 US. V. US Inf. Thomas was the son of Jesse Houp and Elizabeth “Betty” Maynard .He was brother to Sergeant Edward Houp of Company K, 8th Kentucky Inf,

 Edward is Buried at High Bridge, Jessamine County, Kentucky, USA.  Thomas’ brother, Benjamin served in the Eighth Kentucky infantry Company K until Jan, 1864 when he reenlisted and the Company was merged with Company D.

 He was captured by the Confederate forces on April 6, 1865 and declared missing on April 8, 1865 while participating in Wilson’s raid in Alabama. He was paroled at Vicksburg, Mississippi on the 21st of April 1865 and on April 27, 1865

 headed home to Clay Co., KY . When the “Sultana”, with an 800 person capacity left Vicksburg in high tide it was loaded with 2500 soldiers. Early in the morning near a group of islands called Hen and Chickens, just South of nearby Memphis TN,

the paddle wheel’s boilers exploded due to the strong river currents and the overload of soldiers. Approximately 1800 returning soldiers were killed in the explosion from the fire and ship parts which scattered on both land and in the river.

Other steamboats which departed after a down river from the “Sultana” began hitting the floating bodies about 3:00 AM and thought that they were hitting logs from the rising tide of the river. Approximately half of the bodies were recovered

 and buried later at Memphis. Benjamin’s body was never found and news of the event made little note because it happened the week of President Lincoln’s assassination.  Thomas’ son, Mr. Ed Houp, formerly of Ludlow, was buried at

 Pleasant Point cemetery last Sunday. Services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Singleton. A large concourse of friends and relatives followed the remains to their last resting place.

   Edward married Martha Harris.  Their daughter Nancy married William Martin Singleton, Son of John A. Singleton and Mary (Alford) Singleton

Thomas’ wife Nancy Hensley’s sister Zand America Hensley (1832 – 1902) married Edward Houp (1821 – 1902).  Zana and her husband Edmund Houp die in a robbery together
