In reply to you posting of several years ago, I have been researching Thomas Jefferson Mays as well. Your great grandfather's father's name was Thomas Jefferson Mays and his mother's would be Moriah Webster Mays. I havent been able to link him further back. If you or anyone else has, please email me carriembenwell@sbcglobal.net
thanks!

If anyone is still searching for the Mays family from Illinois, I am part of that family. My father is Terry Mays, son of (Jesse) Ellis Mays, son of Jesse Winson Mays and Gertrude Corson. I too am looking for more family and to finish building my family tree.
