Looking for names of grandchildren and great-grandchildren of John B. Mays and Rachel Gay. They had five sons (all believed to have been born in N.C.)

1. James Gay Mays (1803-1878)
Benjamin
Alphonso
?
5. John Mandeville Mays (1810-1887)

I am particularly interested in the eldest and youngest brothers. I am a descendant of James Gay Mays through his daughter Sarah Ann (who married James Alexander Swink). I am working on a commemorative history being prepared for the sesquicentennial celebration of the Mays Cemetery in Rusk Co., Texas, which will occur in 2006. John Mandeville Mays founded this cemetery.

Children of James Gay Mays and Catherine Fulbright:
Rufus Adolphus
Thaddeus
Neal Wellington
Susan
Sarah Ann

children of James Gay Mays and Serena Weaver:
Louena
James Gay
Waunie
Hugh Hines

children of John Mandeville Mays and Sarah Fulbright:
Byrd
Milton
William W.
Thomas L.
John Horace
Charles Edward
Emma (m. 1) David Averra, or Avery; 2) Tobe Lowe)
Laura (m. a McCrimmon)
Elvira (m. Tobe Lowe)
Fannie (m. R.W. Summers)
Martha
Elizabeth (m. a McAnulty)

Many of these family members are buried in the Mays Cemetery. I would like to correspond with their descendants RE birth dates, places, death dates, marriages, children, etc. ESPECIALLY: William W., John Horace, Emma, Elvira, Fannie and Elizabeth.
