May family.
The May family operated the Wm. H. May & Son Company, begun in 1852. The company manufactured plows, wagons, and fertilizers and sold agricultural implements and seeds. It disappeared from the Alexandria (Va.) city directories after 1934.
The Mays represented in this collection are William H. May, his son John W. May, John's wife Effie H. De Vaughn May, daughter Emily May, and son Carroll Hackney May, a medical doctor and sanitary inspector for the city of Alexandria. Effie May's father, James H.
