Family Group Sheets are available for children and grandchildren of John and Sarah May.

A series of essays on the grandchildren will be a future project as more information on them is gathered.


More information on the descendants of this family is being compiled from a variety of sources and will be published at a later date. In the listing above, for example, additional information since the publication of "The Shoemaker's Children" has been incorporated in the family of Elizabeth (Betsey) May and James W. Little, based on information from Jaunelle S. Sewell, author of "We, The Little People."
