Ive been told by some that her fathers name was Dredd May but thats all I could find out. The death of both my grandmother and great uncle occurred in Sequatchie County Tennessee. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
Hi
Have you asked your family or relatives if they have any information? I suggest doing this
first to see what information they have.
There are free sites to go on that you can start to research yourself. If you get stuck,
we at familytreecircles can attempt to help you.
There are books at the library that can help you learn about searching your family tree.
It is important to confirm your information with births, deaths and marriages to
make certain that you do not go up the wrong branch on your tree. Do not copy from
someones tree, as their information may not be correct.
Best wishes in your search. It takes time, and even years of research. The best part
is meeting and being in contact with living relatives and seeing pictures of relatives,
and hearing stories and reading from local histories.

I would really appreciate any information that can be found.

There is also this, which again shows Danie L May ? If this is the same family it would suggest Gusty married 3 times - John W May John Swofford, James Surl Seals. If this is correct is her maiden name May ??

Yes sir that is my grandmothers memorial. She was married to John Swafford, James Surl Seals, and Monroe Moffitt (my mothers father) and all resided in Sequatchie County Tennessee. John W. May as mentioned in the 1910 census as head of the household was my grandmothers brother.

According to the 1910 census The John W May was the husband of Gustie ????? May not her brother. They had been married for 4 years, they had two children both still living. John W May Jr. 2 & Danie L May was listed as 4 months.
If Gustie had been married 4 years she was 15 when she married. But the question is what was her maiden name.
Do you have the marriage reg/cert for her marriage to John W May, What was her maiden name ? You really need this to get her maiden name.
Do you know if Gustie (y) is short for Augusta ??
