John May (1590-1670) came to America with his wife and two sons, John and Samuel in 1640. They settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts. A book entitled "Worthies of England", printed in 1694, assigns the Mays of Sussex, England, a Portuguese origin. However, this has not been proven. In 1641 a record is found where John May was registered as a member in the church of John Eliot. Also a record of his becoming a FREEMAN of the colony. On 24 April 1670, John May made a will and died four days later.
