John, the Beaufort County that I referred to was in North Carolina - and that was in reference to the VA Grays that I know of in NC. My Samuel Mayo moved to GA after the war - he died in Jefferson County, Georgia in 1804. His son Harmon lived in Jefferson County for a while after his father's death and eventually died in Dooly County, GA. I do not know if the Harmon Mayo mentioned in the deed is the same Harmon Mayo, or maybe a cousin. Jack ----- Original Message ----- From: "John R.
