RE: Benjamin MAY. I carry a Benjamin Tyson MAY b. 1768, son of Benjamin MAY and Mary Clara Sherrod TYSON of Pitt County, NC. He married Penelope Coffield GRIMES, d/o Dempsy GRIMES, Esq. and Penelope COFFIELD of Pitt County, NC. I do not know what happened to this Benjamin T. MAY but he would be probably close to my DANIEL family. I do know that Dempsy's brother, William GRIMES (1796-1797) married an Ann BRYAN, d/o Joseph and Sarah MAULE, and they were of Dare County, NC, according to my information. Ann's brother, Edward BRYAN, married Penelope BLACKSHEAR, d/o James BLACKSHEAR and Catherine FRANCK of Jones County, NC. This smells to be part of that big bunch of eastern NC collateral families, the TYSONS, MAYS, BRYANS, WHITFIELDS, HARDYS, STAFFORDS, FORTS, FOSTERS, PIERCES, LANIERS, ROGERS, WARRENS, LANES, ALLENS, GARDNERS, ANDREWS, DANIELS and others and this bunch is about as close as any big bunch of families can ever be. I am also not too sure the CASON, CANNONS, ADAMS, MOORES and MOYES did not find a way to attach themselves to this large family, at different junctures. A lot of this bunch was IOW and Surry, earlier. John R.
