My wife is a 6th generation direct descendant from James Mayson [1733-1799]. On her behalf, I have compiled a historical/genealogical narrative on Mayson descendants. If you have specific questions please contact me at eamzmbator@comcast.net.

Those who descend from Col. Mayson may have interest in a new book [pub.2009] entitled "South Carolina 1775 - A Crucible Year." This is a documented [footnoted] history about SC leadership [rebels & loyalists] as they approached a break from Great Britain. Includes background data on those actively engaged with the SC Provincial Congress & Council of Safety to launch a rebel government. As a member of Congress & a man second-in-command of the rebel's Regiment of Rangers, Col. Mayson plays a significant role in 1775.

I am a descendant of Felix Grundy Mayson through his first son N. Moffitt Mayson. He is said to have married a girl from Pensacola by the name of Virginia Harverson or maybe Harbison. She died when my grandfather was three or four years old. My grandfather was named Walter Leonard Mayson and is said to have been raised by N.M.'s brother George Mayson.

Re: Felix Mayson & wives

2006-04-07 20:02:26Z

Hi,
Wondered where you got the information on Ramsey Mayson's marriage to Margaret Ann Grundy. I have heard that also but can't remember where the information came from and what time period the marriage was.

There were secrets in this family from what I understand and I suppose the decendants don't want to mess up what they seem to think is a perfect genealogy so nobody includes the "secrets".
I was supprised to see the genealogy on genealogy.com included the second wife of Felix Grundy Mayson (Jane Dunlap) When he moved to Texas he married this woman and there was a marriage certificate and newspaper annoucement, but most of the decendants do not acknowledge this family, as he was not divorced from his wife Sophia Rochblave Mayson at the time.(She was Catholic and they didn't allow divorces)
Why was Felix Mayson and Jane on the census with their two children if it wasn't so??
Why did Felix name these two children after his own children, his father, and his aunts and uncles??
Then there is of course my ggrandmother, who Felix fathered as a young teen, and she is not acknowledged either.
Strange how these Mayson's like to deny people who actually lived on this earth and knew what family they belonged to.
Anyway let me know about Margaret Ann Grundy.
P.J.

Ramsey L. Mayson (m. 1816) Elizabeth Burnham Grundy

brobpatus — 2006-03-17 13:55:15Z

Ramsey L. Mayson was indeed the son of Col. James Mayson of Abbeville, SC, and his wife, Henrietta Hart. He was in Davidson Co., TN, on November 18, 1816, when he married Elizabeth Burnham Grudy, one of the daughters of Felix Grundy, Attorney General of the United States during the administration of Andrew Jackson, and his wife, Anne Philips Rogers. In 1820, they were residents of Sumner Co., TN, and in 1830, had moved south of the CUmberland River into Wilson Co., TN, where on May 2, 1836, he took his seat as one of the two elected Justices of the Peace which comprised the County Court. He resigned August 2, 1841, perhaps because he was moving to Desha Co., AR, when he served as County and Probate Judge from 1848 to 1852. He heads a household in Desha Co., in 1850, aged 55, born in SC: and living with him were wife, Eliza, 59, born in KY; son, Charles, age 20, born in TN; son, Marion, age 16, born in TN; son, James, age 14, born in TN; daughter Sarah, age 11, born in TN; and Archy, age 8. His date of death is given as February 20, 1861, in Escombia Co., AR, and his wife, Eliza B. Mayson heads a household in Desha Co., AR in 1860, aged 60, born in KY (Washington Co., KY) and living with her was son, James H, age 24; Mary Luise, 19, and their son, George Elliott Mayson, age 1; James K. Murphy, age 30, born in Nova Scotia, and his wife, Sally H. Murphy, age 21, born in TN, the daughter of Ramsey and Eliza Mayson.

Charles,
I would love to see more. I just started researching this line for a very close friend.

I would like to know where your information comes from. And also, from a family member who research many many years ago, I have that Ramsey married a Margaret Ann GRUNDY, yet you aren't the first place I've seen the name Elizabeth Beckham GRUNDY. And on your list, you don't mention a child of Ramsey named Newland M MAYSON. (Which would have been the above named researchers grgrgrandfather).

Thanks for ANY info you may be able to offer.

Wolfmyjic — 2006-02-28 19:41:37Z

Does anybody have any information about James M. MAYSON?

I have that he's the brother of Goerge MASON, father to the Bill of Rights. And that James married Miriam HARRISON. 2nd married Ann Elizabeth GOUDE and 3rd married Heneretta HART.

I think he and Heneretta may have had a son named Rasey MAYSON or maybe James Ramsey MAYSON.

Mayson Board & MAYSON-L admin

Masontree — 2005-02-21 12:58:14Z

I have adopted this board and created a discussion list to match it. Shortly, messages posted here will be "gatewayed" to MAYSON-L.

The "Links & Announcement" link above is setup to aid navigation between the two and has my contact information also.

I have edited most of the subject lines on older messages to more clearly display names, dates, places, events. I would urge subject lines for new messages to be better than many of the older ones (smile).

I do this work as a retirement hobby and have no MAYSON ancestor, rather my ancestors have been MASON named as far back as Maryland Colony in 1700s.

Enjoy,

Re: Colonel Mayson decendant (MS USA)

2005-02-12 01:16:40Z

Dear Valerie,

I am a descendent of James Mayson.Your great grandfather Charles Glynn was (I believe) the brother of my great grandmother. I'm not at home now, and I can't recall her name. They were born in Columbia, the children of Hamilton and Mary (Pittman) Mayson.

My grandmother was named Vesta Eugenia. She was your grandfather's 1st cousin. So, I think we are 3rd cousins. My mother moved to Pascagoula from Columbia after high school. She married my father there and they have lived there ever since. I grew up there.

My grandmother Vesta lived in Hattiesburg when I was growing up. We'd go there often, but rarely went to Columbia. Other than Mama's brothers (Jacob, George, and Johnny) and her sister Grace (and their children), I really don't know much about Mama's family.

My grandmother had a sister (May) who lived in Columbia. We'd visit her occasionally. Had a really great old house. Walking into it was like taking a trip back in time. Her brother Shug lived in Miami, and I can only recall meeting him on one occasion. There was an older sister called Daughter who died long before I was born. They used a lot of nicknames. Vesta's nickname was "Baypen" which may be the most atrocious nickname ever coined (not that Vesta is much better). She had a melancholy disposition, down right gloomy if the truth be told, and I think that nickname had something to do with it. All these people would have been Farrar Bessilieu's first cousins (I think.)

I see where this message was posted a couple of years ago. I hope you receive it. I'd really like to know something about that branch of the family. I live in Canton and work in Jackson (I'm a lawyer with the Secretary of State's office.) I've got a few pictures, but only a few. Do you live in Mississippi?

Write when you can.
