There is a biography of Louisa's husband at thehttp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ar/washington/bios/mayeswm.txt I think it was Larry Hodge who found this years ago. There is also a biography of John Mayes son of William Mayes and Elizabeth Moody Mayes. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ar/washington/bios/mayesjhn.txt I told Larry that one of my very favorite Mayes researchers is pretty critical of Goodspeed's biographies. HOWEVER, the submitters usually knew who their parents were and I did note that John and Sarah had apparently named their oldest son, William Zera Mayes after his grandfathers, William Mayes and Zera McGee (MaGee) I can't think of any other reason to name a child "zera"
