General Notes: Husband - Thomas Mays

---

The early representatives of this family in America came from Scotland and settled in South Carolina.

He was born in Scotland and was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, after which he settled at Millers Corners, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he lived and died. He was a miller and millwright by occupation, and down through the years there have always been some of his posterity engaged in the same calling. [HVC 1919, 843 & 854]

He was born in South Carolina. He removed to Georgia, later to eastern Pennsylvania, from there to Westmoreland County, and finally about 1802 settled in Clarion County, where he built the first flouring mills west of the Allegheny mountains. He was a soldier during the revolutionary war. [GPHAV, 335]
