Bonnie, I believe I know who these Mayses are. James Ervin Mays was a son of Granville and Mary (Henry) Mays. Granville was my great-grandmother's brother. Among Uncle Granville and Aunt Mary's other children were John D. Mays, Verna Mays (probably the Vernie whose body was found in Indiana), and Ernest Mays. Ernest died in West Liberty in 1996. This Mays family was from Morgan Co., Ky. and surrounding area. I have more on the family I can share.
