David Mays / TN and AL

Hiya, J. I am related to David Mays. He is my ggggrandfather on my mother's side. I have done research on him and his family for years. But I haven't been able to find out much about his parents or siblings either. I found a little book written some years ago by a woman from Sikeston, Mo. She had some of the best info I have found in a while. The book also have pictures of many of the MAYS, including David. The copy of the book I saw was in a library in Hamilton or Haleyville, AL. In the book she relates a story about David.
David Mays went to Marion County, AL on a hunting expedition with a group of men from Tennessee in 1840 or 1841.While there he met a young maiden, named America Burleson and fell in love.On his return home to Tennessee, he informed his father and mother that he had met a young maiden in Alabama that he wanted to marry. Information is that David and a brother Watt or Watson Mays, moved to Alabama in 1841. David settled near Pearces Mill in Marion County, Alabama. His brother supposedly settled in or near Decator, Alabama.
