Thomas May's wife, Martha, died in 1896, Sherman, Grayson TX in a tornado, along with her daughter Martha Jane MAY SNODGRASS GRAY (2 marriages] and her second husband, Lafayette GRAY.

Two of Thomas' daughters married Hollingsworth brothers. Martha Jane first married John Alexander SNODGRASS, then Lafayette GRAY. I don't have spouses for the other children.

I would appreciate information regarding Thomas' parents and siblings, and also anthing on his children.

Thank you
