Been reading my family history books: a group in Kentucky sells them, and I have five. Three are from the May family (my Mom's mom's family) and two are from the Arnett family (her Dad's family).below is some information from my Grandmother's side, the Mays.
- Caleb May, (1781-1827), married to Margareta Patrick (1783-1861). Her parents were Jeremiah and Sarah Partick. Margaret died at the age of 91 after a fall off a horse. Caleb was a Kentucky Baptist preacher and died from breast cancer.
- James May (1911-1890), fifth child of Caleb May, married to Matilda Whitaker (1810-1854). Second wife was Elizabeth 'Betsy' Powers (1818-1889), a widow with 7 children. Matilda died Jan of 1854, and James married Betsy in June of that year.
- Harmon May (1859-1940), son of James and Betsy, married to married Nancy Jane Adams (1864-1928).
- William Ernest May (1886-1955) maried Evalina Gullett (1892-1945).
- Amy Maxine Margaret May (1886-I believe she died in 1995) married John Richmond Arnett (1913-1986)-my grandparents. My sister and I would fight about who would marry Grandpa when we grew up (we adored him) and my Grandmother was one of the sweetest women who ever lived. I'm proud to be their granddaughter.
- Erna Margaret Arnett Wiles (1935-2009) married to Charles Blymiller Wiles Jr. (1933-). Again, wonderful people to be proud of.
- Mary Elaine Wiles Vander Yacht (1955-) married to Mark Steven Vander Yacht (1954-)
- Cari Vander Yacht (1981-) Steven Charles Vander Yacht (1987-) Douglas Jay Vander Yacht (1987-)

The group in KY selling the books is the Magoffin County Historical Society in Salyersville, KY. You should be able to find them through Google or any other search engine.
