Notes:
Father born Virginia, mother born Ohio.
The mother of these children was an infant when her parents brought her to Champaign county, in 1812, the family making the long journey on horseback, being thus among the early pioneers of this section of Ohio. The Mayses first settled in the Kings creek valley, whre they spent two years, then sold out and bought a farm on the Ludlow line, remaining there until 1817, when they moved to town, where Mr. Mayse followed his trade of tanner and also conducted a butcher shop, continuing in these pursuits until his death. His family consisted of ten children, Elizabeth P., who married the subject of this sketch, being the eldest child.
