3. Title page and introductory info from "Colonial Cousins" huge 1940 book about the Holloways of York County, VA
4. Will and Estate of Wm. B. Mays. (Edgefield SC will box 55, packet 2292) Has most of the children listed. No help with the Sarah/Annie
Walker name problem. He apparently was married for the second time. But, according to something I read, all the children are from the Walker
marriage.
5. Several pages of Mitchell info...a quick review doesn't show how Hinchey or Starling connect.
6. Mays pages from "Edgefield Marriage Records." M. of William B. Mays to Frances Wagner, 30 sep 1841 (first wife ann is listed as dying feb
1841)
7. deed of Joseph Newton to James Eddins. Benjamin Eddins signed with his mark.
