The family surname of Mays has a lineage going back to the year of 1784 when Edward Mays was born in Ballinderry, County Antrim in present day Northern Ireland. There are several recorded spellings of the surname including Mays, Mayes, Mayze and Meys. The current branch of the surname dates to Edward Mays (1784-1872) who at a young age enlisted in the Eighth or The King's Regiment of Foot in the British Army in 1804. He served on the British frontier of Upper Canada and fought in the War of 1812. Mays would eventually leave County Tyrone and relocate with his family to Upper Canada. This is the most complete and comprehensive book written to date on this family. Over 40 years of information was researched and now assembled on this family covering 8 generations spanning over two-hundred and thirty years. This work includes biographies and photographs of Mays forebears as well as encompassing the present day living descendants. These are the records of our ancestors and it is to their memories that this work is lovingly dedicated for all time.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This encyclopaedia by Reverend Charles A. Goodrich was originally published in 1831. It covers a wide range of subjects, from natural history and agriculture, to government and statistics, and accompanies these topics with various illustrations. As a congressional minister, and author of many tracts on Christianity, this work is written with a leaning toward the religion's world view and very much reflects the time in which it was written. Along with some interesting information, this publication serves as a window into how knowledge was distributed during the early 19th century. To compliment the republication of this work, a brand new introductory biography of the author has been added to help place the text in its historical context.
