    GRANDERSON, MAYES -
    I am searching for information on my great-great-great grandfather, John Granderson Mayes. He was born April 10, 1786 in VA. However, by 1810, he was married and living in KY, so I don't know what "VA" means in 1786, because what is now KY was 4 counties of VA in 1786. He wound up living in an area now known as Washington & Mercer Cos., KY, but in earlier days all the records for that area came from Lincoln KY. Any assistance would be appreciated. Also, I'm curious to know about the "Granderson" connection, which must date back to VA times.
