I just read your message board posting on James J. Mayes which you posted in January.
James J. Mayes, born in GA, migrated to AR and lived in Hempstead & Nevada Cos (Nevada Co. formed from part of Hempstead Co.). He was my ggggfather. He & his wife had 11 or 12 children, some who died young.his daugher, Rebecca Frances md. Thomas J. Lavender.They had 10 children,
all survived with one dying at age 21.One of their sons was Martin Luther Lavender who married Mertie Minerva Jones & had 3 children-Lloyd, Cal, & Verna Ruth.Verna Ruth was my mother.
I have a limited amount of information on the Mayes family but will be happy to share what I have.In turn would be glad to add your family lines to mine.
