Surname: May, Cooley, Peoples, Hester
-------------------------
Looking for information on William E. May, bn. 1820 in PA(?), believed
to be the son of Charles and Mary May. William married Mary Ann Cooley
on Jan. 9, 1848 in Henry Co.,IN. Mary Ann was the daughter of James M.
Cooley and Eliza Peoples. William May died in 1891, and I believe he is
buried in Fairview Cem. in Randolph County. William and Mary Cooley May
had at least two children- James Elsworth May, and Eliza Ann May (md. John
Cook Hester). It is said that the May family shortened their surname. The
original surname is unknown, but could possibly be Mayhew. Any info would
be appreciated. Thank you.
