   4-Benjamin Mabry(John3, George2, Francis1)was born on 21 February 1755. There is every reason to believe that he was a son of John3Mabry and Mary Delk. He lived in the same neighborhood, appears on the same tax lists and had connections with some of the same neighbors as the documented sons of John Mabry. However, Benjamin Mabry’s name is not mentioned in the court papers which have to do with the division of the slaves left by Mary Delk Mabry. It may be that he had no need for a share of his mother’s slaves or perhaps he chose not to participate for other reasons. On 28 May 1787the Warren Court apprenticed Lott House, 17years of age and an orphan of Isaac House, dec'd. to Benjamin Mabry to be taught Planter's business.2In the 1790 census, Benjamin Mabry was listed with 1 male over 16; 2 males under16; 4 females; and 1 slave. Benjamin Mabry and his family had moved to Sumner County, Tennessee by 1808.
