I recently visited the grave of my great-great-great-uncle, James “Tar Keg” Maynard, a Union soldier killed during the Civil War. He is buried at the Jones Chapel Cemetery on Twelve Pole Creek in Wayne County, WV. 29 October 2016. Photo by Mom.

So happy to see you located my great great great grandfather. I have been looking for proof of him being buried in Wayne County for a while. I would love to visit. I am through his son, Jesse “Stumpy” Maynard”s line.
How wonderful, Brenda. Glad to help your research along. James “Tar Keg” Maynard was a brother to my ancestor, Elizabeth “Betty” (Maynard) Kirk. That makes you and I cousins!
