Jane "Jenney" MAYES IVEY 1792 Tennessee
I have recently "found out" that Jane "Jenney" MAYES IVEY is my 3rd grandmother. I won't go into great detail about how I "found" this out.Anyway for the last couple of weeks I have been investigating some of the Mayes family websites and I am impressed to say the least!!I have various bithdates and places for Jane. The 1850 Grainger County census lists Virginia as her birthplace for instance..I do know that Sherrod is a first family of TN ancestor..so Virginia is not likely to have been Jane's birthplace(I just deleted a large portion of this because it is getting too long for a msg board). Although the information is conflicting I have concluded that Jane was most likely born in 1792 in what was then Hawkins County Tennesee.I won't go into anymore detail about how I reached this conclusion, but I would appreciate any comments from other Mayes researchers.
