        Cornelius Maynord, born August 1869, age 30, barber

January 1900 --  C.J. and Hassie sold the land on Crawley's Creek that had been left to her by her family. In 1903, a court judgement was filed against them for the remainder of the estate.

        1903-04 Durham, NC City Directory ~ Cornelius is listed as a barber and living at 303 McMannon Street (now Mangum Street).

        1910 NC Federal Census (Gilmer Twp, Guilford County, NC)
        Hassie Maynor (39, widow, born NC) is a boarder in the home of  Mary E. Short (age 41, widow, rents home).  Mary's husband was Bart (Bartlett) Short, son of Daniel and Elizabeth Short of Moore County.

        1911/1912 Durham NC City Directory
        Miss Hassie Maynor (age 40) is a boarder in a private home on Smallwood Ave.
 
I cannot find any record of Hassie after 1912 ~ what happened to her?  Does she still have relatives in Moore County, NC ?

         1926 ~ William Judson Maynor's Obituary in Durham, NC newspaper
           The obituary  listed C.J. Maynor as
residing in Cleveland, Ohio, however,  further research has not turned up any evidence of C.J. living in Cleveland.

A C.J. Maynard is listed as living in a trailor.  Is this our C.J.?
