Hello Jay County researchers,
I am new to this list and I am hoping someone has connections to some of
these people. Parts of this are speculative, so it is not cast in stone.
Some can be documented and some is trying to put the pieces together without
knowing what the picture should look like.
James E. Mayo, b. abt. 1843, was on the 1850 census with my line, Erastus
Barnes and Margaret Richardson Mayo. Nancy J. Smith was too. Erastus and
Margaret had only been married a few months when the 1850 census was taken.
There are married records for Nancy Mayo and Amos Smith and for James Mayo
and Sarah Gillem (Gillum?).
Also Margaret's husband died in the Civil War and she is buried sharing a
stone with her brother, Henley Mayo, in MO. I don't think Henley ever
married.
