Ancestors of Nancy Mayo Part 1
Ancestors of Nancy Elaine Mayo
This writing has been humbly prepared in the memory of my parents, Van Buren Mayo, and Margaret Elaine (Bandy) Mayo. It is with pride that I dedicate this to them.
Generation No. 1
1. Nancy Elaine Mayo, born April 06, 1962 in Mercy Hospital, New Orleans, (Orleans Parish) Louisiana. She was the daughter of 2. Van Buren Mayo and 3. Margaret Elaine Bandy. She married (1) James Eugene Bishop May 03, 1979 in Luling; (St. Charles Parish) Louisiana. He was born August 29, 1958 in Marion General Hospital, Marion, (Grant County) Indiana.
**Notes:
Here, as I am unable to decide on a more definite place to include this, I am listing an email correspondence I had with one Jeff Snively- who did a series of book look-ups for me concerning the Mayo family. There was quite a bit of valuable information included in what he sent, therefore I am simply including the entire email correspondences as I received them.
******* Begin *********
Can you see if there is absolutely anything listed in these under
any of the spelling variations of Mayo- (Mayhew, Mayhewe, Mahu,
Maheu, Mayhoo, Mayow, Mayo, Maio, Maeio, Maiewe, Mageo, Magheo,
Maheu, Mayheu, Mayho). We have a note concerning mayo being the
10'th Earl of Dublin- also this: "Early occurrences of the name in
England are found in Glover's Roll of Arms, supposed by Sir Harris
Nicolas to date from between 1245 and 1250. Herbert le Fitz Mayhewe
(No. 78) is there mentioned as bearing 'pty dazur and de goulz one
trois leonseaux rampants of d'or'; and Woodward in his History of
Wales, page 415, narrates that according to the old copy of St.
David's Annals, the Welsh slew Sir Herbert Fitz-Mahu, apparently in
1246, near the castle of Morgan Cam. The Roll of Arms gives a clue to
the origin of the name: on three occasions the name Mayhewe is used
as a Christian name; Mayhewe de Lovayne, Mahue de Columbers, and
Maheu de Redmain. There can be little doubt that is here a
softened form of the olf French Mayheu for Matthew. Bardsley, in his
Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames, 1901, mentions other
instances- Adam fil. Maheu from the Hundred Rolls, and Mayeu de
Basingbourne from the Parlimentary Writ- and takes the same view of
its origin.'
1. Frederick II A Medieval Emperor-
No matches in the index
2. The Magna Charta Sureties, 1215: The Barons names in the Magna
Charta, 1215, and some of their descendants who settled in America
1607-1650-
No matches
3. The Mammoth Book of British Kings and Queens-
No matches.
4. British Family names- their origins and meaning with lists of
Scandinavian Frisian ANglo Saqxon and Norman Names The list of "Under-tenants of Lands at Domesday Survey", the names Maigno and Maino appear.
The main section on British Surnames contains:
"Mayhew. Fr. Mahieu, Mayeux; p.n. Hugt., Norwich, 1622"
"Mayo. N.-Fr. Maio; a p.n."
[Fr. = French; N.-Fr. = Norman French; p.n. = personal name]
5. Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames- Bardsely- This is an
important one- althought the write up I quoted to you above lists
this book, I do not have a copy of it, and firmly believe that there
must be more in there on the surname and/or it's variations!!
"Mathew, Mathews, Mathewson, Matthew, Mathews, Mattewson, Mathewes.--Bapt.
'the son of Mathew.' Found in French and English forms in large quantities in the early registers. The nicks. and dims. also are numerous, as thepages of this dictionary will show. The two chief nicks. were Mat (English) and May (French). Mathew or Mayheu was exceedinglly popular with our
forefathers. As Miss Yonge reminds us, some form or other of 'Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
Bless the bed I sleep upon'has existed for centuries.
Matheu Robert, 1379: P. T. Yorks. p. 174.
Willelmus Matheu, 1379: ibid.
Agnes Mathewe, 1379: ibid, p. 47.
Ricardus fil. Mathei, 1379: ibid. p. 184.
1559. Married -- Robert Mathewson and Joane Goringe: St. Thomas the Apostle (London), p. 3.
London, 8, 39, 4, 5, 143, 1, 1."
"Mayhew, Mayow, Mayo, Mayhow, Mayho. -- Bapt. 'the son of Matthew,' from
O.F. Mayheu. It was impossible to keep this surname from corrupted forms.
There is probably no connexion with co. Mayo, Ireland, in any single
instance.
Adam fil. Maheu, co. Camb., 1273. A.
Robert Maheu, co. Oxf., ibid.
Mayeu de Basingbourne, c. 1300. M.
Johannes Mahewe, 1379: P. T. Yorks. p. 125.
1537. Nicholas Mayowe, or Mayo, or Mayhewe: Reg. Univ. Oxf. i. 188.
1572. Elizabeth, d. of Nowell Mayhew: Reg. St. Columb Major, p.8.
1580. James, s. of Nowell Mathew: ibid. p. 11.
1641. Married--John Mayhoe and Eliz. Beverley: Kensington Ch. p. 71.
London, 25, 0, 13, 0, 1; New York, 18, 0, 8, 0, 0."
"Mayo(w; v. Mayhew."
A few other surnames that have the same meaning are: Machen, Machin, Machan,
Machon, Makin, Makinson, Makein, Making, Makings, Makins, Mathew, Matkin,
Maton, Matterson, Matthey, Matthes, Matin, Mattinson, Maton, Matterson,
Matthew, Matthey, Matthes, Mattin, Mattinson, Mattison, Matts, Mattson,
Matson, Maycock, Mayes, Maykin. The name Macon does not appear in this
book, but it is obviously another variation, but it is also the name of a
location. The name May, can be a variant, but it has another meaning as
well, "a young lad or girl."
6. Debrett's Texas Peerage
There are a few miscellaneous Matthews, but no Mayo.
7. Buck's Pedigrees of Some of Charlemagne's Descendants., Vol. 3
There is a Grace Matthew (bur. Dec. 18, 1632, Yarcombe), dau. of John
Matthew, who m. Jan. 15, 1580/81 to Richard Newberry/Newburgh (b. c.1557, d.
c.1629, Yarcombe, Devonshire).
There is also a Lucy Curtis Matthews (d. Worthington, MA), who m. Elisha
Converse (b. c.1774, d. c.1852).
8. Burke, Arthur Meredyth: The Prominent Families of the United
States of America- This could also be an important one- The surname
Burke ties in with our family frequently!!
A few Matthews. Also, an Eliza Mayo was 2nd wife of William Byrd Page (b.
1790, d. Sep. 1, 1828) of Pagebrook, Clarke Co., VA.
9. Burke, Ashworth P.- Family Records-
Several Mathew/Mathews/Matthew/Matthews but no Mayo in the index.
10. Sir John Beranard Burke- Burke's American Families with British
Ancestry- Again- could be very important- please check closely here

There are a few Mayo lineages listed:
1) Mayo formerly of Eccles: gives lineage from a William Worrall Mayo, M.D.

These 4 lineages combined cover 3 pages. If any of them look like they
might be related to your Mayo family, I can scan the pages and email them to
you.
11. A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Colonial Gentry;
This book is about the lineages of branches of noble families that
immigrated primarily to Australia and New Zealand, although there are a few
in the US and Canada. The lineages are not alphabetized and the index seems
to cover only the names of the people actually living when it was first
published back in the early 1890's. The only match in the index is a W.
Matthews of St. John's Island, SC. Looking up the page, the reference is in
the lineage for Isaac Tristram Coffin of the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of
St. Lawrence, British North America (b. Oct. 17, 1836). Specifically,
Tristram's grandfather a Maj.-Gen. John Coffin of New Brunswick m. 1781, St.
John's Island, Charlestown, to an Ann Matthews, dau. of William Matthews of
St. John's Island, SC.

21st Lord Athenry, m. (2nd) Aug. 17, 1745, Ellis Agar (eldest dau. of James
Agar, Esq. of Gowran, and widow of Theobald, Viscount Mayo) as mentioned
previously. [NOTE: Yes, the Agar entry says m. Aug. 7, whereas the
Bermingham entry says m. Aug. 17. The book has lots of discrepancies like
this]
Under Loftus - Viscount Lisburne: Eleanor Loftus (3rd dau. of Sir Arthur
Loftus, Knt. of Rathfarnham, M.P. for the co. Wexford & Lady Dorothy Boyle,
dau. of Richard, Earl of Cork) m. a Theobald, Viscount Mayo.

This book as well as Burke's Family Records and Burke's America Families and
a few others are both indexed and scanned on FTM CD #367 (Notable British
Families).
One of the other books on that CD is Burke's Extinct Baronetcies, which
shows an Elizabeth Moore (only dau. & heiress of John Moore, heir of
Burfield & Elizabeth Wittingstall) m. John Mahew, Esq. (no further details)
under Moore of Fawley.
Another of the books on that CD is Burke's Commoners, which shows:

1664) m. Anne, dau. of Thomas Mayo, Esq. of Beyford Place, Herts.

heir of John Mayo, Esq. by Mary, his wife, dau. and co-heir of George
Clarke, Esq. of Hackney.

Place, Herts.
Burke's Commoners [under Courtenay, Privy Councillor] & Burke's Extinct
Peerage [under Howard - Earls of Nottingham, Earls of Effingham, co. Surrey]
both show The Rt. Hon. Thomas Peregrine Courtenay, formerly M.P. for
Totness, privy councillor (b. May 31, 1782) m. Apr. 5, 1805, Anne, dau. of
Philip Wynell Mayow, Esq. of Sydenham, Kent. [Burke's Commoners erroneously
names him "Mayow Wynell Mayow"]
13. General Armory of England,
Scotland, Ireland, and Wales: Comprising a Registry of Armorial
Bearing from the Earlist to the Present Time-

15. A History of Wales- John Davies
p.263: In a paragraph about the invention of the blast furnace and its
impact on coal and iron mining in Wales: "Most of the entrepreneurs were
English -- it was the 'Englishmen of the black iron' who were blamed by a
Glamorgan poet for 'cutting the trees of Glyn Cynon' -- but they also
included the Mathew family of Radyr, the pioneers fo the Pentyrch works, and
Thomas Myddelton of Chirk, owner fo the furnace at Pont-y-blew."

18. Mercer, Chronicle of the Royal Family
No matches.
19. Morgan- The Oxford Illustrated History of Britain
There is a Sir Robert Matthew (1906-75) mentioned in the caption under a
photograph on p. 570: "THE FESTIVAL OF BRITAIN was launched on London's
South Bank on 1 May 1951 to commemorate the centenary of the Great
Exhibition. The cetre-piece was Robert Matthew's new Festival Hall. The
Festival exhibition stands are visible behind it."
There is also a Henry Mayhew (1812-87) mentioned a few times:
1) p. 443-444: "'I cares nothing about politics neither; but I'm a chartist'
a London scavenger told Henry Mayhew, the pioneer social investigator, in
1848. The People's Charter, with its celebrated six points--manhood
suffrage, the ballot, equal electoral districts, abolition of property
qualifications for MPs, payment for MPs, and annual Parliaments--achieved
the same immediate impact as the French Revolution and Daniel O'Connell's
campaigns in Ireland. But this only gave a superficial and episodic unity
to an immensely complex, highly localized movement. ....", under the
illustration on p.444: "THE LONDON SCAVENGER: engraving, after a
Daguerrotype by Beard, in the Morning Chronicle, 1848. Almost as much as
Henry Mayhew's careful interviews (he was a real pioneer of the art) these
early photographs capture the complicated if frequently sordid lives of the
'tribes' of casual workers in the capital.
2) p. 461: "But few of the Coketown people has time or money to read about
what the literati thought of their plight, and little enough was known about
what they read, although it was obviously affected by the co-option of the
literary radicals by a middle-class public. Henry Mayhew, the pioneer
social investigator of the Morning Chronicle, just about carried on the
journalistic tradition of Cobbett and Hazlitt into the 1860s; Dickens, from
the same Bohemian milieu, shifted away from it. ..."
3) p. 481: In a section talking about the lives of the urban worker: "... In
the empire, detailed reports on all such things were drawn up with all the
efficiency of the trained civil servant fascinated by an alien race, but at
home it was only at the end of the century that systematic observation of
the living customs of the British urban poor began. Henry Mayhew's
impressionistic London Labour and the London Poor: A Cyclopaedia of the
Condition and Earnings of those that will work, those that cannot work, and
those that will not work (1861-2) made a start, but an unsystematic one, and
one which was not followed up. What we do know suggests highly complex and
varied patterns of life, with regionalism and religion often playing an
important part."
20. Heraldry, Ancestry, and Titles-
This tiny book is a FAQ giving answers to various questions related to
heraldry, genealogical terms and titles of nobility in general. There is no
mention of any Mayo's.
20. Gary Roberts Boyd, Notable Kin: An Anthology of Columns first
published at the NEHGS NEXUS, Vol's 1 and 2.
Most of the lineages in these books contain only the names of the ancestors,
without any details, except for a brief description of the notable figure at
the root of each pedigree.
Volume 1:
Sir Charles Tupper, 1st Bt. (1821-1915, former Canadian Prime Minister) was
descended from a Thomas Tupper, Jr. & Martha Mayhew, dau. of Gov. Thomas
Mayhew & Jane (Gallyon?).
Mrs. Lucretia Coffin Mott, a Quaker preacher, who with Mrs. Elizabeth Smith
(Cady) Stanton organized the 1848 Women's Rights convention in Seneca Falls,
NY and later served as presidents of the National (an National American)
Woman Suffrage Association after 1851 and co-authored the 4 volume History
of Woman Suffrage, was descended from Abishai Folger & Sarah Mayhew, dau. of
Paine Mayhew (& Mary Rankin), son of Matthew Mayhew (& Mary Skiffe), son of
Thomas Mayhew, Jr. (& Jane Paine), son of Gov. Thomas Mayhew, Sr., of
Martha's Vineyard & ___. [This is same Gov. Thomas Mayhew as mentioned
above]
The biography portion at the start of a couple of chapters mentions that
Gov. Thomas Mayhew also is ancestor of "Wild Bill" Hickok, "Mrs. Tom Thumb",
& Pres. [George] Bush [and his son Pres. George W. Bush].
The line of descent from King Edward I to Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe
(1696-1785), philanthropist and founder of Georgia, included his paternal
grandparents Sutton Oglethorpe (b. 1612, city of York) who m. 1665, Frances
Mathew. I am descended from another branch of the Oglethorpe family and
have this line entered into my database. I'm showing Frances as dau. of
John Mathew (b. July 6, 1580, Oxfordshire, England) & Jane Southby. I have
John as son of Tobie Mathew, Archbishop of Yorkshire.
Pres. George Herbert Walker Bush and poet William Cullen Bryant are both
descended from Francis Cooke (the Mayflower Passenger) & his wife Hester le
Mahieu, dau. of Jacques? le Mahieu & Jeanne ___. Gary Boyd Roberts'
Ancestors of American Presents also shows Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt as
have 2 descents from Hester le Mahieu. It also shows her as dau. of
Jacuques as fl. 1590-1611 & Jeanne as living. 1605 with a probable sister
Marie le Mahieu who m. Jan de Lanoy with descent to Pres. Ulysses Simpson
Grant & another line to Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. [This le Mahieu
family from Leyden is obvious a French Huguenot family as is clear by the
French spellings, instead of Dutch].
Pres. George Bush and son are also descended from a Jonathan Bangs & Mary
Mayo, dau. of Samuel Mayo (& Tamsin Lumpkin), son of Rev. John Mayo (&
Tamsin ___). The sources for Pres. George Bush's ancestry includes mention
that "The E.K. Bangs extension" was from E. Jean Mayo's book "Rev. John Mayo
and His Descendants, 2nd ed. (1965), pp. 2-3, 70-73". The beginning of the
chapter mentions that Rev. John Mayo died (d. 1676) was from [Barnstable,]
Eastham, Boston & Yarmouth, MA and that he is also an ancestor of former
Vice Pres. Dan Quayle. It does not give the lineage down to Quayle, but I
have it in my database if you need it. My source for the Quayle lineage is
William Addams Reitwiesner.
Volume 2:
Alice Claypoole Gwynne, wife of tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt, II, was
step-daughter of writer Albert Mathews, but his real name is Paul Siogvolk.
The wife of Ezra Stiles, Congregational clergyman, pres. of Yale College
(1778-95) & [William] Max[well] [Evarts] Perkins (1884-1947), editor, man of
letters are both descended from a Freegift Coggeshall & Elizabeth Matthews.
The actress Marilyn Monroe is descended from Jacob Clifford & Elizabeth
Mayhew, dau. of John Mayhew (& Elizabeth Hilliard), son of Thomas, Mayhew,
Jr. (& Jane Paine), son of Gov. Thomas Mayhew (& ___). [Same one as above.]
James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok (as alluded to above) is descended from
Thomas Daggett & Hannah Mayhew, dau. of Gov. Thomas Mayhew (& Jane
Gallyon?).
Mercy Lavinia Warren Bump, wife of Charles Sherwood Stratton, the famous
circus performer "Gen. Tom Thumb" & Count Primo Magri) is descended two ways
from Thomas Tupper, Jr. & Martha Mayhew, dau. of Gov. Thomas Mayhew (& Jane
Gallyon?). She is also a descendant of Francis Cooke the Mayflower
Passenger and his wife Hester le Mahieu.
Other descendants of Francis Cooke the Mayflower Passenger and his wife
Hester le Mahieu include: folk artist Mrs. Anna Mary Robertson "Grandma"
Moses, prolific NEHGS article writer George Andrews Moriarty, Jr., Abel Head
"Shanghai" Pierce of the Rancho Grande in TX, (George) Orson Welles, &
Marilyn Monroe.
Other descendants of Jan de Lannoy & Marie le Maheiu (most likely sister to
Hester) include: NEHGS co-founder William Prescott Greenlaw & (Mrs.) Laura
(Elizabeth) Ingalls Wilder of "Little House on the Prairie".
21. Lt. Col W.H. Turton- the Plantagenet Ancestry
This book is a collection of fan charts showing the direct ancestors of
Queen Elizabeth I. Most of the people appearing in the charts don't even
have surnames and are arranged by the locations of their titles in the
index. The closest match are the Counts of Mâcon, which is a place in
Burgundy, now part of France.

No matches in the index.
Here, I am including a piece of information that has become somewhat common to those of us searching for the English origins of the Mayo surname. I include it now, for the benefit of those who are not familiar with the work.
Extract from Chapter VII (pp. 104 - 116) of
The History of Martha's Vineyard Volume I
by Dr. Charles E. Banks (originally published 1911.
The origin of the (Mayhew) name is explained satisfactorily by a learned historical scholar of England, himself a descendant, and the following extracts are made from his account:-
As an English family name it is most frequently met with in the South and West of this island, and few parish registers in the Counties of Hereford, Gloucester, Wilts and Dorset can be opened without presenting us with examples. It is spelt in many ways, varying from the extended form of Mayhowe to that of Mao, and often, as it will frequently appear, clipped down and reduced to May to the loss of its concluding syllable. [As an example of the loss of the final syllable, the following may be noted: Walter Mayo vel Meye admissus in Artibus 26 June 1511, (Gough Mss. 7, Bod. Lib.); the will of Robert Mayo of Broughton Gifford 16 Nov. 1572, in the Prerogative Court, though his family name was usually written May, as in the Wiltshire visitations, the will of Henry Mayo alias May, of Kellways, Wilts, 1661.] One lesson is taught by the diversity and variety, viz:-the identity of Mayhew and Mayo, and from this consideration a ray of light is thrown upon the derivation of the name. An early occurrence of the name, and in its extended form, is found in Glover's Roll of Arms, supposed by Sir Harris Nicholas to date from between 1245 and 1250. Herbert le Fitz Mayhewe is there mentioned as bearing "party d'azur & de goulz one trots leonseaux rampant d'or," and Woodward in his History of Wales, page 415, narrates that account to the old copy of S. Davids Annals. The Welsh slew Sir Herbert Fitz-Mahu apparently in 1246, near the castle of Morgan Cam. The same Roll of Arms gives the clue to the origin of the name as a Christian name; in the case of Mahewe de Lovayne, Mayhew de Columbers and Maheu de Redmain. There can be little doubt that it is here a softened form of Matthew. Bardsley in his "English Surnames" mentioned two other instances, Adam fil. Maheu, and Mayhew de Basingbourne, from the Parliamentary Writs. Lower, (Patronymica Brittannica, 219, 221,) takes the same view.
Shakespeare in King "Lear" Act III, scene 4, says:
"The Prince of Darkness is a Gentleman
Modo he's called and Mahu."
The family has its principal habitats in Cornwall, at Lostwithiel, Looe, Bray and Morval, to which belonged John Mayow, Fellow of All Souls, Oxford, and that Mayow of Clevyan, in St. Columb Major, who was hanged on a tavern sign-post as a rebel against the injunctions of Edward VI, concerning religion. Dorsetshire has one family in the Visitation; Gloucestershire, at Kempley, Tetbury, Charfield; Herefordshire, at Tottenham; Northamptonshire, at Holmden, in the Visitation of 1619; Norfolk, at Billockby and Clippesby; Suffolk at Clopton, Helmington and Bedingfield, and in Wiltshire more than one family of the name are found including Mayhew of Dinton in the Visitations of 1565 and 1623, whose pedigree is here inserted.
Of noted persons of the name is Richard Mayo, otherwise Mayeo, Maiewe, Mayhue, etc., who was born near Hungerford, educated at Winchester, became a fellow of New College in 1459; after passing through the lower orders he became Chancellor of Oxford, 1503, and Bishop of Hereford in 1504. He died in April, 1516. [Genealogical Account of the Mayo and Elton Families by Rev. Canon Mayo, vicar of Long Burton, Dorset. London, 1882.]
And, also, another variation of basically the same thing:
Meaning of the surname Mayo
I had always assumed that the surname Mayo was from the town and county of that name in Ireland, but in fact, that isn't the case. There are far fewer people with the surname Mayo in Ireland than there are in other parts of the world, for example in England. The following is taken from a book written in 1882 by a man who was researching the name (unfortunately, although he mentions many Mayos by name in that book, none of ours appear there - probably because ours were too humble). The first two paragraphs talk about the distribution of the surname. It's in the third paragraph below that the author starts to talk about the possible derivation of the surname:
"Regarded as an English family name, it is most frequently met with in the south and west of this island, and few Parish registers in the counties of Hereford, Gloucester, Wilts and Dorset, can be opened without presenting us with examples. It is spelt in many ways, varying from the extended form of Mayhowe to that of Mao, and often, clipped down and reduced to May by the loss of its concluding syllable. The common supposition that the name takes its origin from the Irish town must be laid aside.
"John D'Alton, at page 159 of his "Illustrations Historic and Genealogical of King James II's Army List", commenting on the name of George Mayo, a Lieutenant in Sarsfield's Regiment of Horse, states that "this surname does not occur again in the List, nor does it appear in the roll of outlawries either of 1641 or 1671. Some 'Meaghs' and 'Moyaghs' do appear therein. The name Mayowe is in the Chancery Rolls as in Kerry in the 14th century; that of Mayhew also occurs in Irish records of about the same period; and in a roll of assessment of fines laid upon Sheriff, Mayors, Seneschals Etc. of record in the Chief Rememberrancers Office here (Dublin), is one Geoffrey Mayhoo in 1428.
"But to return to England, an early occurrence of the name, and in its extended form, is found in Glover's Roll of Arms, supposed by Sir Harris Nicholas to date from between 1245 and 1250. Herbert le Fitz Mayhewe is here mentioned and Woodward in his "History of Wales" page 415, narrates that according to the old copy of St David's annuals the Welsh slew Sir Herbert Fitz-Mahu, apparently in 1246, near the castle of Morgan Cam. The same Roll of Arms gives the clue to the origin of the name. On three occasions Mahewe is used as a Christian name; in the case of Mahewe de Lovayne (No 116), Maheu de Columbers (No 191) and Mahue de Redmain (No 218). There can be little doubt that there is here a softened form of Matthew. Bardsley in his "English Surnames" mentions two other instances, Adam fil. Maheu from the Hundreds Rolls, and Mayeu de Basingbourne from the Parliamentary Writs, and takes the same view of its origin. Lower, in his "Patronymica Britannica" page 219, under the name Matthew states that, "This baptismal name introduced here at the Conquest has not only become a surname but the parent of many others, to wit Mathew, Matthews, Matthewson, Mathie, Mathieson, Matson, Mayhew, Mayo, Matts, Matty, Maddy, Madison". Under Mayow, Mayhew, page 221, he says again "Probably one of the many modifications of Matthew".
"(Kindred names are Mayot, Maycock and Mayos - the former two being equivalent to "Little Matthew", the later to "Matthews")
"If it is to be granted that the genesis of the name has here been correctly given and that it belongs to that wide class of names derived from Christian names, it will readily be understood that many families of the same name may be looked for, which are quite distinct from each other in their origin and that a common appellation is here no indication of a common ancestry; and the reader will see that this fact, combined with the great diversity of spelling , varying from Mayhew to May, has rendered the tracing of an early pedigree no easy matter, and he is requested to pardon any short coming on this score.
"It may be well to point out the habitat of some few Mayo families. Dorset contains many persons of the name. The name is common in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, again, is well supplied with this family name. From Holmden, Northamptonshire, came Henry Maio alias Nichols of Southam, Warwickshire, whose pedigree is in the Visitation of the latter county in 1619. Another family of Mayo was formerly settled at Hadley, Middlesex. The Norfolk and Suffolk Visitations give pedigrees of Mayhew.
"This slight sketch may be sufficient to indicate some of the localities where families of Mayo are now or were formerly to be found. Wiltshire still remains, reserved to the last as particularly interesting to those who are concerned with the contents of this volume. More than one family of the name are here found. It may be remarked that in the Poulshot Register the name is written as May previous to 1635 and as May and Mayo indiscriminately between 1635-40 and as Mayo after the year last named."
So, if you managed to get through all that, it seems that the surname Mayo comes from the first name Matthew, it is a softened form of that name, possibly meaning "Little Matthew".
And lastly, one other bit of info again, somewhat similar, to include in this.

**Below, is a copy of a letter from Charlie Mayo- (CharlieM87@aol.com), a good friend and fellow Mayo researcher with whom I have been working for some time now on the family. His letter summarizes some of what we have located. I mailed a copy of this to Jeff Snively, in order to help him do the look-ups.**
” We have found that the Mayo's came about the time William the Conqueror took England and King Herald at the battle of Hastings in about 1066. A few Mayo's are mentioned in those early times and one in particular, Herbert La Fitz Mayhu is in the Norman records and was slain in a battle by the Welsh, ( indicating he was not Welsh) near the battle of Morgan Cam.
The original Mayo of England must have been of close service to William because, heraldry was bestowed on the Mayo's from early on and passed down through the family as evident from the Coat of Arms for many families. Which just means that the original Mayo was a Gentry and his family not only carried that title, but also was in a position to gain more Heraldry as time went on. The Arms are somewhat different for the various families, but all seem to be uniquely Mayo, of three's based around a chevron. Simon Mayo of Denton seems to be the family still in the Gentry class as late as 1500's.
We have also learned that the Mayo's probably began as a nucleus in the area of Wales, possibly in Cornwall and spread northward up that peninsula to Wiltshire, Berkshire, etc. They were probably assigned a large estate when the Norman's took over, but even Royalty becomes diluted when so many are descended. So, a few of them came to the colonies early on.
Everything we know of our early Mayo's, point to the northern part of whales. Rev. John Mayo of Barnstable, Mass., William of Isle of Wright, Edward of Barbados and North Carolina, and the later William and Joseph Mayo also through Barbados,as well as, John Mayo of Roxbury Mass haling from the Wiltshire, Berksshire area. All of these seem to be from the northern area of Wiltshire or surrounding area. Even our line is quoted in early records such as the bible of William James Mayo as coming from Wiltshire. They all migrated around the same time. If one member of a family is successful, others tend to chime in. That's the way Wilde beests cross a stream, settlers go west etc. It is the nature of things. Further, we have learned that the name was given the Cornish owe ending and as it spread north, the e was dropped. Around the area of Wiltshire and Berkshire it was not all together proper to have that Cornish owe ending, so it was dropped altogether. Except after gaining the Y, it did not sound right without keeping the O. So, Mathew became Mayhew to the Norse, which became Mayhowe to the Cornish, which became Mayho to the middle area of Dorset and Mayo of the northern part of Wales. I would venture to say that those who left Cornwall early dropped the owe altogether and became May. So the fact that all of our colonial immigrants were Mayo, points to a northern descent. A third indication of origin is the given names. All of Our Colonial progenitor Mayo's of apparent North Wales have names like William and John for sure, because all Mayo's even in England are named for William the Conqueror or John the Baptist, but we also have Joseph which is common to all the progenitors. James is unique to William of Isle of Wright and Valentine. Which may indicate a further refinement out of Joseph. But looking in England, Only one family has these names of Joseph, James, John, Sarah, Elizabeth etc. That is the family of Poultshot, Wiltshire, England who we know sent us William and Joseph the surveyors out of Joseph Sr. We did not find one other Joseph Mayo in England! Further, Joseph had a brother named John; one named Walter and probably many more. We do not have their descent, but we are probably them through John of Middlesex, VA. I would say that John of Middlesex, VA; William at Isle of Wright; Joseph of Barbados, and Edward of Barbados and North Carolina are either brothers out of William Jr. (1613) and Jane of Poultshot or are first cousins out of William Sr. (1579) and Joan. This conclusion is based on the not so coincidence of proximity, surname spelling, documented places of origin, chronological similarity of migration, given name patterns, and gut feelings.
We have evidence that William Mayowe sailed on the Looe ship Mayflower with a Virginia Master in 1626. Or at least he had dealings with the Virginia Colony.
The Cornish person who wrote it down since Looe Harbor is in Cornwall could have spelled his name. We see other evidence of Early Mayo's such as Samuel at age 10 out of London in 1635, Samuel being also a child of Rev. John Mayo. We see other names that are not in our line like David Mayo.
Now we come to Valentine, who is too old to be the son of James and Mary Valentine, but may be a brother or more likely a first cousin who could be named after his possible mother "Jane Valentine" sister of Mary. Hey, not as absurd as two of Joseph's (1750) daughters marrying his brother's son's. Joseph and his brother even married two Richardson sisters, but my Julius Richardson Mayo is named after not Robert Mayo and Sally Richardson, but Joseph Mayo and Jean Richardson. They have their own Richardson Mayo.
Not to mention the fact that John Mayo was right there in Middlesex county and died in the Christ Parish church with Valentine; God and all the other non Mayo onlookers. He can not be ignored just because there is not a notarized birth certificate for Valentine. HE IS Valentine's father and was probably married to a Valentine woman.
Now, clues for further research is in order. Valentine was a sailmaker and taylor. I could be wrong, but the sailmaking does not seem to fit with Middlesex County. The fact that someone knew him and counted him as an import in Essex County may suggest that he met his wife there and moved. This would at least but them closer to the "Uncle" in Isle of Wright who could be the son of William Mayowe who was on that ship in 1626. A study of that guys recruits would be interesting, along with Clampham's. The William Mayowe 1626 may not be a passenger, but a person dealing with the colonies since it said Xmas of 1626 and 1627. Maybe Valentine learned sail making from him?
In general conclusion, I have developed a common sense gut feeling about all the research that I have seen. I think it is like we are in the living room with our relatives, but can't quite pair the brothers and daddies and grandpa is sitting there with that aged smile of wisdom saying it is all very simple.You have all the grandchildren; you just don't have a few missing
parents.
It may never be solved, but I have a comfort and satisfaction that
William de Poultshot is my grandfather. Any sort of serious study should be of
his children and grandchildren. I think we know most of them.”

RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Harrison-Tanner family
The reason that I am posting this is because this morning, I discovered one of the family trees that I have been invited to on Ancestry had new entries. One of those entries was this George Keen, (same one as starts the genealogy below). Now, this ties into my Crawford lines very distantly. But- the Keene family also ties in strongly to our Bishop's, therefore, I didn't want to lose track of this. I want to find the connection between this line of Keene's, and the line that David Keene who married Nancy Bishop comes from.
What I know about David Keene (Nancy Bishop's David Keene) ancestry is next after this entry.
