Generation: 4

  1. 12.  Charles MAYO was born about 1770 in Virginia, USA (son of Mark MAYO and Susannah); died about 1846 in Conecuh County, Alabama, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: Mar 1796: Montgomery, Georgia (jury list) 1797 and 1798: Montgomery, Georgia (tax lists) Nov 1797: Montgomery, Georgia (jury list) Aug 1799: Montgomery, Georgia (jury list) Mar 1796: Montgomery, Georgia (jury list) Oct 1804: Montgomery, Georgia (jury list) 1805 and 1806: Montgomery, Georgia (tax lists) 1819: Conecuh, Alabama (tax list) 1820: Conecuh, Alabama 1830: Conecuh, Alabama 1840: Conecuh, Alabama

    Notes:

    I have not proven that Charles Mayo is the father of Reuben H. Mayo. However, a review of census records from 1820 to 1850 reveal that Charles, Reuben, John W., and Allen are found very near each other in each census. In addition, James Dyal has collaborated with a Mayo researcher in Florida, Luman M. Mayo. Records that L. M. Mayo sent to James Dyal suggest this same tie, as well as stating that Charles Mayo is the son of Mark Mayo.

    Charles moved his family to South Alabama abt 1815.

    A Joseph Mayo appears on the 1819 Conecuh County, Alabama tax rolls and on the 1820 Conecuh County Territorial Census (with four males under 21 and one female under 21). He may be either Charles’ son or brother.
