From the book History of Walworth County Wisconsin, by Albert Clayton Beckwith, 
publ. 1912 - Page 542    
 
LOT MAYO, son of Elisha, was born at Augusta, New York, in 1803; moved with his 
father to Chautauqua county, near Mayville, whence both came in the early 
forties to Elkhorn.  He had married successively two daughters of Samuel TUBBS 
and Polly FROST - the second wife named Jane, who was born in 1811 and died at 
Elkhorn, October 26, 1849.  His father died the same day, aged seventy-five.  
Of one or both of these marriages were sons Andrew, Samuel and Elisha.  In 1853 
he became postmaster at Elkhorn; and, having secured reappointment, he married, 
third, Mrs. Amanda, daughter of Simeon DeWitt CORBIN and widow (since 1846) of 
Erastus HUBBARD.  Of this marriage was one child, Zaida.  He died January 3, 
1870.  Mrs. MAYO died November 26, 1893, leaving also a son, DeWitt Pratt 
HUBBARD.  Mr. MAYO was a working Freemason, and for some years master of the 
lodge at Elkhorn.  He insisted constantly that no man could be a good and true 
Mason without obedience to the moral law, and his own conduct squared with this 
profession.  He was also a working Democrat, and his political reading had made 
him a fairly formidable opponent in the partisan debates or wrangles of his 
time.
