Hi Mary, I don't know if any if those are my May's. I don't know David's parents names. David was born in 1802, so those May's don't fit, do they?? Am I missing something??? Cindy

Would think that David May of early Hardin Co; had a wife Mary (per will data); would look for William May (of Hardin) as a son/o David. A William May bought an awfully lot of land in very early Nelson Co (check the tithables for him)-- a William May also in Hardin Co (you said your David b ca 180? Hardin Co). Check the 1810 Cen of Hardin--may give you the f/o your David????
