Hello Linda - Yes, I believe that John Russell May is the son of Wiley and stepson of Sarah.I had seen the listing of Willey May to Rebecca Young and to Lucretia Young but have not followed it up.John R. May's death cert. states that the name of his mother is unknown.I have two birth dates for John.One is 1839 and one is 1840.One census lists another son of Wiley, Alexander, born about 1840.I am wondering if Alexandar could have been a son of Sarah and Asa and took the last name of May.It would be very much appreciated if you can find time to do a search on Sand/May at the Illinois State Archives.Please feel free to e-mail me directly.Joy
