John Carter's land was next to William and Mary Collage. The Stith familywas connected to the Collage and probably living on
the campus or at least close to it. So this would be a good place to lookfor John Mayes who I think that his mother was a
Stith connected to the ones from the collage as the descendants of StithMayes Carter had said the story that was pasted down
the family had stated that is where the name Stith came from.
