I am looking to collaborate on information for William MAY of
Granville County, NC. William was born about 1785 in NC and died sometime prior to 1880 in
Granville County. He lived most of his life in
Granville. He may have come from Warren or
Franklin County. He was found in Federal Census records from 1820 to 1870 in
Granville. His known children based on census data and what records are available are Thomas Henry MAY (1804-?), Mary M. JENKINS (1805-?), Frances
DAVIS (1811-?), William G. MAY (1814-?), Mary Eliza
PREDDY (1817-?), Anthony
Dock MAY (1819-22APR1896), Robert Lee MAY (1825-1898), and John
Yancey MAY (1825-?). William's wife was named Elizabeth (surname unknown) and she was born about 1783 in NC and died between 1860 and 1866. He later married (23 JAN 1866) Direna
HUDDLESTON (born about 1825 in NC). They are listed together in 1870 with her name as Dionesia and they had no children. William may have had associations or kinship with
Enoch MAY of
Warren County and other
MAYs of
Franklin County. He is suspected of owning land around New Light
Creek on the Franklin/Granville border. I have a lot of information on William, his children and their descendants and I would love to fill in the gaps. I'm also interested in information on his parents, siblings and wives.
