Gail, and List: I cannot recall if I responded to this: -------------------------------------------------- """"I need to find my papers to see who lived where. However Frederick (son of Big John) did move to, and live in Trigg Co., KY. Of course he would have been a young child were his full siblings."""" However, I find I have a question for you. Today I decided to look at the Kentucky Vital records index to see if any of Big John's children lived long enough to have a death certificate (I thought it unlikely.) I did not find Thomas or David or Wm Mayes. However, when I did a search on Mays I found a "Fredink Mays". Actually I thought that Frederick s/o Jane May and Big John remained in the Grinager/Hamblen County area and that I had seen him on later censuses. """"Without doing additional research, I can tell you there was also a Frederick May who married Elizabeth, Big John's daughter and they may have remained in Grainger Co., TN or a surround area. Also I believe there was yet another Frederick May in the area, perhaps a son of Peter May. I have not followed up on either one of these. Actually I though perhaps Peter could be a sibling of Big John and this would make Elizabeth the first cousin of said Frederick. First cousins married often as you know. Small gene pool."""" However, "Fredink" is the right age to be Frederick and i wonder if Frederick moved to Trigg County like his half brothers. I am hoping you can enlighten me. -------------------------------------------------- Frederick Mayes, son of "Big" John Mayes and Jane May did go to Trigg Co., KY with his mother and siblings. He married Martha Cassandra Jordan, daughter of Tilman Jordan and Cassandra Unknown, born c 1849 and died 1919. They had three children. The gentleman for whom I am doing this volunteer research is a grandson of this same Frederick. If anyone has any Jordan information I would welcome knowing about them, especially any associated with this Mayes family or the Coffey familes.
