Notes - I assume that James Mayes moved with his mother and family to Cumberland Co. in the 1760s. In the 1790 census in Peters township along with Johnston Elliott, James McFarlen, James Ramsey, is Andrew Mays. Wonder if Andrew is a son of James.
I have seen trees that say that this James Mayes moved to South Carolina, married Jane McIlwain in 1760 in Spartanburg SC, is on the census in 1779 in the 96th District, died Oct. 6, 1818 in Union Co. SC. However, I don't believe this is correct without some compelling proof, like a family bible. None of the children of James and Jane are named Andrew or Rebecca, which strikes me as most odd.
