The family surname of Mays has a lineage going back to the year of 1784 when Edward Mays was born in Ballinderry, County Antrim in present day Northern Ireland. There are several recorded spellings of the surname including Mays, Mayes, Mayze and Meys. The current branch of the surname dates to Edward Mays (1784-1872) who at a young age enlisted in the Eighth or The King's Regiment of Foot in the British Army in 1804. He served on the British frontier of Upper Canada and fought in the War of 1812. Mays would eventually leave County Tyrone and relocate with his family to Upper Canada. This is the most complete and comprehensive book written to date on this family. Over 40 years of information was researched and now assembled on this family covering 8 generations spanning over two-hundred and thirty years. This work includes biographies and photographs of Mays forebears as well as encompassing the present day living descendants. These are the records of our ancestors and it is to their memories that this work is lovingly dedicated for all time.
