JOEL MAYS m. ELIZABETH SCOTT
Hi I am looking for info on Joel C. Mays and Elizabeth Scott. They had a son named Shepherd H. Mayes born on Feb. 1824.
I found all of them on the 1850 Census record of Amherst Co., VA.
Joel Mays 52 farmer
Elizabeth 41
James H. 24 laborer on farm
Frances 22
Lewis C. 19 laborer on farm
Joel 19laborer on farm
Bernett (Bennett) male 14
Sarah E. 12
Wm. B. 10
(Mannona) female 6
Mary 8
below them is :
Shepherd H. Mays 26 farmer
And under him is John H. Scott family. I wondered if this was some of Elizabeths family.
S.H. MAYES married a Lucinda.
S.H. Mayes moved to MO with his wife Lucinda between 1856-1859.
They had ten children, 5 of which were still living in 1900. I don't have all of there names.
Children of SHEPHARD MAYES/MAYS and LUCINDA are:
i. (LENORA)FRANCES/FANNIE MAYES, b. 1856, Virginia; d. Bet. 1888 - 1890, Missouri; m. ALBERT R. MITCHELL, November 25, 1875, Pike Co., MO; b. March 1852, Missouri.
ii. NANY E. MAYES, b. Abt. 1855, Virginia.
iii. MARY/MARG. J MAYES, b. Abt. 1859, Missouri.
iv. PRICILY MAYES, b. Abt. 1862, Missouri.
v. MARTHA MAYES, b. Abt. 1865, Missouri.
vi. WILLIAM MAYES, b. Abt. 1869, Missouri.
SH and Lucinda's daughter Fannie had a daughter named Margaret Mitchell. She was raised by SH and Lucinda when Fannie died. Margaret is my great grandmother.
Please email me if you can help with any info. Thanks.
