Mayes Road in Botetourt Co. VA

The road I was looking for is probably the one running by the home of John May on the James River, just east of Purgatory Mnt. It was found on a map of Botetourt Co. 1770-1820 that was publ. by the Roanoke Historical Society and included in the book "Seed-Bed of the Republic:Early Botetourt Co." John May was the first clerk of court for Botetourt, and also was among the first vestrymen for the county.
