Gardiner Mays lived at the old James Massey place just up Nails Creek from the Martin Mill. He reared a family but the writer only knew James and Flemmond, who divided the old place and reared large families for themselves. They lived on opposite sides of the creek. Their sister, Fanny, married a man named Caldwell and was the mother of Gardiner Caldwell. Their sister, Patsy, married a man named Johnson. James Mays married Susan Brakebill, while Flem, his brother, married a Sherrill. They have all gone, most of them dead. Gardiner Mays was among the first settlers here.
