    3. List: I have found an Andrew Mayes, born about 1710 Scotland, died about May 1754 in Lancaster Co., PA. His spouse was Rebecca McFarland born 4/14/1720 in Philadelphia Co. PA. They married about 1735 in Lancaster Co., PA. After Andrew's death she married 1775-1777 to a Mr. Samuel McElhenny. In this Andrew's will (04/16/1754, proved 6/27/1754) it mentions children named: James, Mary, Rachel, Rebecca, Margaret, and Susanna. James and Rachel are both aged 14-21. Their guardian is James Starret. Thomas Mayes. brother to Andrew, is appointed guardian over the rest of the children. Other information mentions that Kerns Starret is Mary Mayes husband and that Susanna died under age. Also mentioned is "Brother, Thomas Mayes was Scottish, and lived also in Paxtang Township, Lancaster Co. PA. Many of Thomas' descendants moved to SE US.
