Thank you for the names of John and Mary (Brown) May. At this point I had only a census listing of Mary as a widow with the children in 1850. Louisa Dodd, who married Will May, was a sister to my great, great grandfather, William Dodd. I don't have a whole lot on Will and Louisa but I do have some:
