Document:
1. CHARLES1 MINNIX, SR. was born Abt. 1750 in MD, and died 1815 in Franklin Co, VA. He married RACHEL ??. She was born Bet. 1740 - 1750 in MD, and died Aft. 1830 in Franklin Co, VA.
1810Census - Franklin co, VA - Charles and wife over 45. Children: males: 10/16,  16/26. females 10/16,  16/26.
Charles Minnix was reportedly born and married in Maryland and then moved to Franklin Co, VA. I have not found him prior to 1788 in Franklin Co, VA when he was listed on a tax list and then again in 1810 on the Census record. Rachel is still living in Franklin Co, VA on the 1820 census as head of household and again in 1830 in household of son, Daniel. So it is evident that Charles died about 1815 in Franklin Co, VA.
Some believe that Charles Minnix, Sr. moved from Franklin Co, VA to Floyd Co, KY. Research has shown that he stayed in VA. The Charles Minnix in KY is his son, Charles, Jr.
"The will of Charles Minnix (born abt. 1750, Franklin, VA) dated June 5, 1814 and probated march 6, 1815 leaves to his children Caty (Catherine); Hugh; John; Jesse; Sicily; Mary; Daniel; Rachel; Abner and Charles Minix, Jr., etc."
Rachel was born and married in Maryland before moving to Franklin Co, VA with her husband Charles Minnix.
Charles is listed on the 1788 tax rolls for Franklin Co, VA. and then on the 1810 federal Census.
Rachel is listed on the 1820 Census for Franklin Co, VA as head of household. She has males 10/16 and 16/26 and female 16/26 and she is over 45.
On the 1830 census in Franklin Co, VA she is in the household of her son, Daniel. Rachael is 80/90. Daniel and Mary are 30/40 and they have 2 children 0/5 - a boy and a girl.
In 1840 Daniel is no longer in Franklin Co, but Rachel has surely died since she was over 80 yrs. old on the 1830 Census.
i. SICILY2 MINNIX, b. Franklin Co, VA.
Charles named Sisley in his will along with his other children. That is the only mention of her that I can find.
There was a Sisley Minnix listed in the Prop Tax list for Franklin Co, VA in 1787.
She had 2 H. and 2 Cat. Not tithable. She must be the sister of Charles Minnix, Sr. and not his daughter.
2. ii. CHARLES MINNIX, JR., b. Abt. 1776, Franklin Co, VA; d. Aft. 1850, Floyd Co, KY.
iii. HUGH MINNIX, b. 1784, Franklin Co, VA; d. 1786, Franklin Co, VA.
No one seems to have any information on Hugh. Many people think he died as early as 1786. He is mentioned in his father's will in 1814 so he had to be alive then.
Possibly married Caty Tederow (of Missouri). ?
Speculation - Could the following be the son of Hugh? One source says Hugh died in 1786 and another source says he may have married Caty Tederow (of Missouri). Need to look further into Hugh's death and possible marriage to a Catherine Tederow -- or to a Nancy b. 1784 in VA.
In 1850 in Hamilton Co, TN there is a Hugh Menius age 32, Mary 25, Children: John 6, Ramona 4, Virginia 2, Temperance 1. Living with him are Nancy Menius age 66 b. VA and Nancy Menius 11 b. VA. Hugh is also b. VA. Mary and all children b. TN. There are many other Menius'/menios' in Hamilton Co, TN in 1850.

One source gives a second wife as Malaha Adams. There is a John Monk married to Mahalia in McDonough Co, IL in 1860 but they have children with ages from 10 - 20 . It doesn't seem to be the right one. Can not find another John married to Mahala.

She married (2) ANDREW HIMELICK Jun 18, 1813 in Preble Co, OH. He was born Oct 10, 1787 in Lancaster Co, PA.
The following notice seems to indicate that Catherine married Andrew Himelick after John Shewman died.
Oct 20, 1823 - Andrew Himelick guardian of Jacob Shoeman age 15 years, minor and heir of John Shoeman, dec'd.

John Minnix married Mary Shewman in 1802 (at age 16) in Franklin Co, VA. We have the name of one daughter, Catherine, from this marriage. But from the 1820 census record we find that they also had two sons older than Catherine, probably born in 1804 and 1806. The 1820 and later census records are from Preble Co, OH. We have not found an earlier census record.
Most researchers say John married Nancy Jane Trotter in 1816. I found the following marriage. Have not found any census record which lists a wife.
John lived in Preble Co, OH. His children can be found there in later years except for James whom I could not find.

A source on the internet says Elizabeth married Phillip Deem. In 1850 there's a Phillip Dean in Owen Co, IN of the right age and b. in VA - but he is married to Mary age 34 b. TN.

In 1870 Green Co, IN there's a Delana Menix age 60, wife-Rebecca 46, Stephen 4. Farm laborer - John L. Clark. John has $100 RE. Delana has no RE but has $100 PP. Perhaps Delana's age is wrong and this is the right one? In 1860 he had no wife. This could be a new family for him and he left his other children with others? William Menix is in HH of John K. Bennet in Green Co.
1880 Green Co, IN Delaney Menix 68, Rebecca 56, Children: Stephen 14, James 41. Delaney is laborer. He was b. in KY she b. IN. His parents b. VA. Her father b. Ireland and mother NC.
