MAY, POND posted by Terry (May) Perham on Sunday, August 23, 1998
MAY, Simeon S., born 31 May 1854 in Wardsboro, Windham County, VT., one of eight children born to Sylvester and Mary (POND) May. Married in Brattleboro, Windham County, VT, 23 May, 1880 Nellie Arling, both residents of Northfield, Franklin County, MA. The Windham County Gazateer, by Child has a sort paragraph on Simeon's father. In this paragraph he mentions son, Simeon MAY of Granville, Michigan. Simeon would have been my grandfather's uncle. I lost complete track of him after his marriage until I found the gazateer. If anyone has any information on Simeon May please contact me.
