She was born Bet. 1740 - 1750 in MD, and died Aft. 1830 in Franklin Co, VA.Notes for C HARLES MINNIX, SR.:1810Census - Franklin co, VA - Charles and wife over 45. Children: males: 10/16, [2] 16/26. females 10/16, [2] 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. (From Ancestry.Com - *I have not seen this will) This may be our Charles Minnix State: MD Year: 1778 Or This......... Notes for R ACHEL ??: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. Children of C HARLES MINNIX and RACHEL ?? are:ICILY2 MINNIX, b. Franklin Co, VA. ICILY MINNIX: 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. C HARLES MINNIX, JR., b. Abt. 1776, Franklin Co, VA; d. Aft. 1850, Floyd Co, KY.iii.
