   Frederick Mayberry was a Patriot during the Revolutionary War, furnishing supplies and ammunition to the troops. His three eldest sons served in the Virginia Continental Army as Soldiers, Drivers, Rangers and Scouts. One tradition states that Frederick was a Master Driver, responsible for other drivers delivering supplies and ammunition. As early as 1785, Frederick's children began leaving Bedford County, Virginia -- migrating to that part of the North Carolina Territory that later became the state of Tennessee.
   
   On 31 July 1801 Frederick Mayberry wrote his will in Bedford County, describing himself as, "feeling very ill and weak in body". That he died a short time later is shown by the fact that his witnesses proved the will in court on October 26th, less than three months later. After Frederick's death, the last of his children left Virginia and tradition says that his widow, Barbara, also went to live in Jefferson County, Tennessee with their daughter Catherine. Barbara died in Tennessee about 1811. Some of Frederick and Barbara Mayberry's children settled near Knoxville, Tennessee, some went to Hickman, Maury and Fentress counties, and some later went to White, Hamilton and Clinton counties of Illinois. Later generations can be found in Missouri, Arkansas and other states.
