I have found a deed in Amherst Co. that lists the children of Joseph Mays Jr., son of Joseph and Sarah Mays, as follows: Charles and wife Sarah; Cornelius and wife Sarah; Anderson and wife Sarah; Lewis and wife Matilda (nee Burford); Samuel and wife Mary; Jordan;Sarah (nee Mays) Burford; and Elizabeth.Charles' first wife, named Frances, was a Burford. Charles and Lewis had married sisters, daughters of William Burford whose will was probated in 1833 Amherst Co. The deed is dated 11 April 1831 and is about the sale of Juniper Creek land willed to Anderson's father by his grandfather Joseph Mays.The deed says their father lived and died on this land -- 64 acres
