Notes
a. Note:   Notes from Monroe County Georgia A History, p 308
 Maynard - Cheeves - Childs Home
 The colonial house stands tall on top of a hill and is a Georgia Landmark having survived the embattlement of the War Between the States and the great depression. It is located on Rogers Church Road.
 Elijah Maynard (1795-1859) came to Monroe County December 20, 1825 from North Carolina. In 1853, he bought the house. After his death his daughter, Elizabeth Maynard Cheeves, inherited the estate and lived here with her husband, Thomas Jefferson Cheeves.
 In the meantime the house changed owners many times. Mrs. Florrie Zellner Childs and her husband, Charlie J. Childs, became owners in 1936.
 The frame house is built of hand-hewn timbers, held together by wooden pegs and square nails. Two sides are weatherboarded with yellow poplar. Three chimneys are holding steadfastly.
 Eide pine baseboards, painted to resnble marble, are on the walls in the parlor. There are unique stairway arrangements. One leads from the dining room to a large bedroom upstairs and another from the porch to the hallway upstairs.
 Mrs. Childs has lived there forty-two years. Her collection of furniture and other items are in keeping with the style of architecture popular in early American development.
