2.   DESCENDANTS OF GEORGE 2 MAYBURY.

   Our first records of George 3 Mabry in indicate that he was born no later than about 1727, probably a few years earlier. George 3 Mabry, Sr. died toward the end of On 25 January 1801 George 4 Mabry, Jr. was granted administration of the estate of his father by the Knox County Court Francis Maybury (George 3, George 2, Francis 1 ) We believe that Francis Maybury was a son of George 3 Mabry. Francis 4 Maybury was probably born about 1748 in Halifax County, North Carolina. He personally signed his legal documents speling his name, Francis Maybury. On 23 September 1773, Francis Maybury and his brother, Joseph each bought 200 acres of adjoining land on the south branch of Sandy Creek in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. 14 It is likely that their father moved to Pittsylvania at the same time or that he had moved their a year or two earlier as a result of his problems with the Regulators in North Carolina. At least by 1785 Francis Maybury was known as a trader in Sullivan County. There he constructed a boat on the upper Tennessee River to carry merchandise to trade for furs in the Chickasaw country. All this time Maybury and Jackson continued to buy large tracts of land along the Clinch and Holston Rivers. By 1786 Sumner County was formed and land became available in the Middle District of Tennessee, although statehood was still 10 years away. By 1788 Francis Maybury had secured his first 640 acres of land in Sumner County. 15 We have clear evidence that Francis Maybury maintained residences both in Tennessee and in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, where, in August 1797 Mary Wilson (nee Dix) received her allotment of the estate of her recently deceased husband, William Wilson. Shortly thereafter, Mary Wilson became Francis Maybury s second wife. At the same time Francis Maybury quickly sold most of his land in Pittsylvania County and returned to Tennessee, where he bought 1280 acres 13 Knox County Administrations and Settlements, Vol. 1, p Pittsylvania County Deed Book 3, p Grant #2731 on Flat Creek from Willie Blount, later Governor of Tennessee. 16 It is likely that Francis and Mary took up residence on this Flat Creek land since most of his records until August 1805 refer to him as Francis Maybury of Knox County. Meanwhile, his father, George 3 Mabry and his brother, George 4 Mabry had just moved from Virginia to Knox County where George 4 is listed in several Knox County court cases between 1797 and 1800 either as a defendant or as the plaintiff. The name of Francis Maybury appears on the tax lists of several Tennessee counties including Knox, Grainger, Greene and Jackson. Beginning in 1805 Francis and Mary Maybury were residents of Grainger County. Others in the same area with close family connections were: Robert Blair, James Wilson and William Stubblefield. 17 The tax list in 1806 shows Francis Maybury with 7 slaves. Other records show that he was in the process of selling his slaves. He continued to hold land in several other counties. 5 - Richard Mabry was on the tax list of Hawkins County, Tennessee in The same year a local newspaper called Richard Mabry the register of Hawkins County. The few records we have found for Richard suggest that he was probably a son of Francis Maybury. But Richard s disappearance from Tennessee records and the fact that we have not found him elsewhere would seem to indicate that he died in Tennessee. 5 - James Mabry is found in several early Tennessee records from 1790 until his death in He was a surveyor who seems closely associated with Francis Maybury. As we have mentioned above, Francis Maybury seems to have been the administrator of the estate of James and was quite likely his father. 5 - Seth Mayberry - We have a number of reasons to believe that Seth Mayberry was a son of Francis Maybury. Our extensive research of early Tennessee records leads us to believe that to be true, even though we have not found any way to 16 Grainger County, Tennessee Deed Book 2, p This is almost certainly the same William Stubblefield who married Mary Mabry (nee Cook), the widow of Francis Maybury's brother, Joseph Mabry.
