Child of WILLIAM MAYES and RACHEL MAY is:

GEORGE WASHINGTON⁶ MAYES, b. October 07, 1865; d. September 11, 1883.

Notes for GEORGE WASHINGTON MAYES:
In "Old Cherokee Families" Grant 1-1-3-9-15-3-x George is attributed the parentage of William Henry Mayes & Eliza Jane Bell; however, in Gideon's "Indian Territory", pg 627, is a biography of William H Mayes which details the family differently...

"Mr Mayes was married, in 1860, to Miss Rachel May. Her death occurring, he married Miss Jennie Bell, in 1867. One daughter resulted from this union, Rachel, who is the wife of Dr W W Bryan, of Claremont, Indian Territory. The third marriage of Mr Mayes was in 1875, to Miss Martha McNair, two children being born of this marriage, -Joel and Mary, - the latter being the wife of Perry Brewer, of Wagoner. The fourth marriage of our subject was in 1882, to Miss Susan V Wear."

This detail doesn't mention George but it does specify that there was "One daughter resulted from this union" and George's birthdate is prior to "Her [Rachel May's] death occuring, he married Miss Jennie Bell, in 1867". This leads me to believe that George is the son of Rachel May.
