The history of the early May family ancestors that Edna wrote about probably was based primarily on the May Genealogy that was compiled by Tress May Francis over a period of twenty or more years up to 1956. Edna's first cousin, Eldon J. May summarized the family tree, as compiled by Mrs. Francis, in a series of articles that were published in the Appalachian News-Express in 1984. Eldon was very active in the Pike County Historical Society at the time. Subsequent research on the earliest known generations of the family (published in my book, The Shoemaker's Children, in 1998) has corrected some of the earlier assumptions of the immigrant May family up to the time of the American Revolution. Many other facts from Mrs. Francis' research on the family after they arrived in Kentucky about 1800 have been proven to be quite accurate. Click here => for essays on our immigrant May ancestors.
