Dr Samuel MAYES SC TN 1759-1841
Based on the description of his Revolution War service found in his pension application, I believe that Dr. Samuel MAYES of the Zion Presbyterian Colony of Maury County Tennessee was the son of Thomas MAYES and Jean RUTHERFORD.Their son Thomas MAYES, b. 1753 Pennsylvania, had an almost identical service under Capt Robert Farris and Col. Brandon.Their son Edward MAYES, b. 1868 Union District (former 96 District) South Carolina, married a daughter of Capt. Robert Farris.Samuel MAYES references Henry STORY as person who knews the details of his service.Henry was of the STORY family of Union and Spartanburg Districts before moving to Greene County Alabama in 1818..The are several MAYES/STORY marriages in SC and the families migrated to Greene County Alabama together.
Anyone with thoughts on this theory?
