Family
of Willliam Spencer May
posted
Dec. 2006
Neva Truesdale May (Grush), a daughter
of Williiam Spencer May and granddaughter of Harvey George May,
provided information on the May family in Harrisonville, MO to Tress
May Francis when Tress was compiling records for her book, History
of the May Family: 1776 - 1956.
We also know details of the migration of the family from a newspaper
article written in Harrisonville after the death of their fifth
child, Dr. Harvey George May, Jr. in 1929.
Neva lived in Kansas City, MO throughout
her married life and had no children of her own. On the 1910 Census,
two girls were listed as adopted daughters living with Walter and
Neva in Kansas City. They were Cecilia Ewing and Dorothy May Ewing.
The May middle name suggests that they probably were related.
