  Allen Mayes's Parent's family Same photo in other file was labeled Ownby's Greenbrier - Allen Mayes parent's family; Allen married Mary Proffitt's daughter, Dora; Allen lived exactly where covered picnic area is; Proffitts lived near Mayes; Allen operated Mayes Used Furniture store in Sev., according to Glenn Cardwell Editor's Note: Above is contradictory. I suspect this is David and Mary Jane (Ownby) Proffitt and family.
