After much research I have determined that James Mayes is the son of Thomas Mayes Sr. and Margaret Houston.James was 89 years old when he died in 1818 according to his headstone which would make his birth year 1729.Andrew was his brother and he was born in 1730.This is the lineage passed down by one of my Mayes relatives who was 94 when she died in 2008.She stayed in close contact with the Union Co. Mayes' her whole life and was our family historian.I have visited Fair Forest Cemetery where James is buried and was there again last week.I will be happy to share the pictures of his and Jane's headstones with anyone who is interested.I can be reached at [email protected]
