Person talk:William Mayes (36)

Who are the parents of this William Mayes? [13 June 2017]

[Original query brought from User talk:Cos1776, 13 Jun 2017:]

What is the source of this William being the son of Daniel Mays? According to Joseph Barron Chandler Jr, “The Reverend William Mease: Forgotten Hero of Early Virginia,” Tidewater Virginia Families, vol 10, this William was probably Daniel's brother. Would be interested in further discussion of William and Mary Mattox. Much conflicting information online. --KayS 02:25, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi KayS. I do not have immediate access to the TVF article, so I am not able to take a look at Chandler's research right away. I agree with you that it appears that from what others have posted, Chandler thought this William may have been a brother to Daniel and not a son. I posted the land records for both William and Person:John Mayes (46) (confirmed son of Daniel) as a courtesy to May(e)s researchers, but I am not heavily vested in the surname. Please feel free to post other relevant records and correct the relationships as you see fit. Regards, --cos1776 14:10, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
