Children
Descendants of George Mabury, Jr.
1. GEORGE3 MABURY, JR. (GEORGE2, FRANCIS1) was born Abt. 1720 in Edgecombe or Halifax County, North Carolina, and died 1801 in Knox County, Tennessee. He married (1) SARAH WILLIAMSON WFT Est. 1738-1740, daughter of JOHN WILLIAMSON. She was born WFT Est. 1705-1718, and died Abt. 1742. He married (2) MARY ??? WFT Est. 1744-1745 in Prob. North Carolina. She was born Bef. 1726. Notes for GEORGE MABURY, JR.: From Don Collins: Subj: Sarah Williamson and George Mabry Date: 03/06/2001 5:06:44 PM Pacific Standard Time From: [email protected] (Don & Edith Collins) Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Dear List, I'm grateful to Mabry Benson for her excellent research into the matter of the marriage of Sarah Williamson (daughter of John Williamson) to either George2 or George3 Mabry. Mabry's suggestion that Sarah Williamson was the first wife of George2 Mabry is very interesting. Unfortunately, I don't think we have conclusive documentation, one way or the other. 1. Information available from various sources about the Williamson family is filled with incredible errors and assumptions. One would think that CUTHBERT Williamson would be easy to identify and document. However, there were at least six Cuthbert Williamsons in the same part of Virginia at about the same time and Williamson family researchers have confused their records over and over again. 2. I appreciate Mabry's work to transcribe the will of John Williamson. The new information found in it is very helpful. But there are also gaps which could contain more important information. One thing seems clear - John Williamson's daughters, Elizabeth, Susannah and Hannah were married at the time he wrote his will in 1731; another daughter, Sarah was deceased; a fifth daughter, Edith, was not yet married; and his son Cuthbert was not yet 21. This suggests that Edith and Cuthbert were probably close to attaining their majority and that John Williamson's six children were probably born between ABOUT 1704 and 1716 (or perhaps a very few years later). If this is the case, I think it most unlikely that Sarah Williamson would have married George2 Mabry who was probably born about 1691/92. Rather Sarah would have been of the right generation to have married George3 Mabry. 3. In 1742 John Williamsons 4 daughters and his granddaughter, Sarah Mabry sold 280 acres on south side of Nottoway River, beginning at a Hickory on the north side of Rocky Run to George Mabry. We need to find out whether this was George2 Mabry or George3 Mabry. We should be able to do this by locating the deed by which a George Mabry sold this same 280 acres at a later date. That deed should give the name of the grantor's wife and thus tell us which George he was. 4. Before we can draw too many conclusions about the 1746 deed by which the heirs of John Williamson sold 177 acres left to Cuthbert Williamson by his father John Williamson in 1731, we need to find out more about Cuthbert Williamson. The deed says that Cuthbert died, "intestate without issue" sometime between 1731 and 1746. but most of the available Williamson records seem to agree that Cuthbert married and had three children. Did his wife and all three children die before he did or do the records have him mixed up with one of several other Cuthbert Williamsons? Cuthbert, according to Williamson records, died in 1743. Why was his land not sold to his brother-in-law until 1746. I have just found the name of a Williamson family researcher who seem to understand the importance of documentation and will write to him to see if he can help us. Don Collins
One source has George listed with two additional sons, Benjamin and Reina, but this is in error due to the 1768 Tax List of Rowan County, which lists a "Benjamin Reina" as living with George. From Don Collins: I have consulted with experts all of whom agree that only Joseph was a son of George Mabry and Sarah Williamson. Benjamin Reina was someone else living on his land. "REINA" was intended to be a surname in the tax list and probably was a corruption of Reynard. There was a Reynard family very closely connected with George Mabry's family in Halifax County and they probably moved with him to Rowan County. The other names you show as children of George and probably correct, but cannot all be documented except by circumstantial evidence.
Subj: Re: [MABRY-L] Amelia Mabry m. John Reynolds Date: 4/11/99 8:34:55 AM Pacific Daylight Time From: [email protected] (Don & Edith Collins) To: [email protected] Jim, The information that George2 Mabry was first married to Sarah Williamson is NOT correct. It undoubtedly comes from my Mabry book! I drew that conclusion based on information available just before the book went to press in 1987. Since that time we have found a Surry County deed which proves beyond a doubt that Martha Bradley was the one and only wife of George2 Mabry. It was his son, George3 Mabry, who married Sarah Williamson. George3 Mabry seems to have married again later after Sarah's death. Hope this clears up the confusion. Don
Looking for info/others desc from George-3 (Geo-2) Mabry. I suspect that Winifred d <1810 Washington Co, Tennessee, m James COX d 1812, living in Henry Co, Virginia 1787, is a daughter. They named a son b 1790 Mabry Tucker Cox, another son George R. Also looking for any Cox or Tucker connections to Mabry in Henry/Pittsylvania Co Va, or Guilford Co NC areas.

Jim,
</paraindent> In July 1801:
</paraindent> If you go to the Knox County Archives, be sure to ask for Doris Martinson who is in charge. She is very familiar with Mabry research in Knox County and can easily put her hands on the records. It seems to me that the above records should be just a part of the probare of the George3 Mabry estate. There should be a "final distrubution" which should name his children or anyone else who shared in the estate, even though it amounted to very little. I do know that his son, George4 sold several parcels of land in Virginia a few years later. This land had originally belonged to George3 and must have passed to George4 via a deed. There is no record of any such transfer in Knox County so it must have happened before they left Virginia.
Subj: [MABRY-L] Sarah Elizabeth Mabry NC /TN Date: 6/28/99 8:43:04 PM Pacific Daylight Time From: [email protected] (Nancy Schonemann) To: [email protected] Looking for information on SARAH ELIZABETH MABRY/MAYBERRY born in NC 25 January 1774. Parents unknown. Married to Thomas Simpson, parents unknown, who was born 1773 in Maryland. They were married in NC in February1791. Seeking their location(s) which is believed to have been that part of NC which became TN. It is possible Sarah Elizabeth may be of the lineage of George Mabry 2. Sarah & Thomas lived neighbors in TN to an Oldham and Keeney families. There may be some connection to Caswell co NC where the Oldham family lived prior to eastern TN. Thomas may have been related to the Andrew Simpson who was granted land in Green County NC in 1789. This land was later deeded to James Simpson in 1804, on the north bank of the French Broad River and in 1806 land in Jefferson county adj. Dandridge Town. Lineage listed for this James Simpson in 1855 will, daughters: Serphina Palmer, Margaret Lane, Eliza Shannon, Nancy Odell (Mrs Samuel Odell). sons: Joseph R Simpson, George W Simpson, Jams Simpson, S C Simpson, John W Simpson. Grandson: John B Simpson. Witnessed by DJ Gibson, Elijah Hashbarger Sarah Elizabeth & Thomas were Baptists. They may have lived in Jefferson, Siever or Cocke counties before removing to Fayette county, Indiana ca 1809. Their children were Nathan born ca 1793 NC, Tabitha, Joshua, Thomas J born 1800 in TN, John Sarah Jane,Henry H, Elizabeth, Jessie, and Solomon R born 1815. If you have any similar locations or associations to any of these surnames for any Mabry family, any Mabry/Simpson connection, or suggestions in general, I would like to hear from you.

Mabry Query on Rootsweb: Another daughter of John Posted by Mabry Benson <[email protected]> on Sun, 04 Mar 2001, in response to John Williamson died 1732, Surry Co., VA, posted by Lora Tindall on Fri, 04 Feb 2000 Surname: Mabry John Williamson's will also names a granddaughter Sarah Mabry. Two deeds in Brunswich Co Va, and Cuthbert's intestate record of 1737 indicate that John also had a granddaughter Sarah Mabry, daughter of John's daughter Sarah, late wife of George Mabry. I have posted John's complete will, as far as I could read it (it had two large damage spots), and these deeds under Williamson wills. Mabry Benson

etc. The executor was the widow, Mary Mabry Stubblefield.
Her children were Joseph, Mary and Elizabeth. Source:

Notes for FRANCIS MABURY: From Donald E. Collins: Another very early Mabry in Tennessee was Francis Maybury (the spelling he almost always used). He was the trader and land speculator I have written about and who is mentioned in a special research section on my web page. I can't say for sure, but feel that he was probably also a son of George3 Mabry. Francis was in Tennessee at least as early as 1785 and left MANY records. However, almost none of them say anything about his family. I believe that Francis was the father of Richard, James, and perhaps others who were there in the 1790's. We have recently found that Francis' second wife was Mary Wilson (nee Dix).

There are many more in other counties!! I hope this will eliminate any duplicate searches. It will give you an overview of the activity of Francis Maybury in Grainger County which we believe was his last place of residence. Perhaps you can think of some OTHER kinds of records to look for in Grainger County. Or perhaps you can help us with locating where it was in Grainger County that Francis actually lived. If we can narrow it down to a neighborhood, then we might be able to find something locally. Don Mabry Family Webpage: www.execpc.com/~dcollins/mabry.html
