Micajah Mayo was one of the first settlers of the town of Rome, GA. He 
owned a substantial plantation in Floyd Co, GA. At the settling of the 
estate slaves were sold. Micajah's daughter, Malissa Ann Mayo Foster lived 
the better part of her life in Chattooga Co, GA. It occurred to me that 
some of these slaves might have lived in the area after the war and 
thought it important to list this info. These are only first names, but 
may be of value when people are researching their heritage. So, here is a 
piece of history.
