From the Valdo James Smith Research document, The Sudburys of Virginia and Tennessee.
MAY CENTENNIAL YATES was born on May 18, 1876, in Dyer County,
Tennessee. Her middle name, which is remembered by her granddaughter Fran1de
Hall, was apparently inspired by the centennial of the Declaration of Independence.
She was also known by some of her nieces and nephews as "Aunt Mamie".
According to the family Bible in the possession of the Smith family, she was
married on December 14, 1892, at the young age of 16, to BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN PAYNE. At the time of her mother's death in 1923, she was still
living in Humboldt, Tennessee. The date and place of her death are unknown to
the author of this history.
