Dear Rosanne, I saw your post regarding Dallas County, Alabama, and was curious about the name MAYS / MAYES. I am researching the family of my -g-g- grandmother,...who was Mary R. Mayes,...born 1824 in Dallas County, Alabama. Believe her father to be Robert L. Mayes,.. In 1840, she married my g-g- grandfather, James White, and they moved to White County, Arkansas in 1870. He was from Perry County, Ala. Anxious to hear from you .If you have a few minutes to reply, it would be much appreciated. Sincerely, LFB
