Research Notes

From "The Mabry Family", by Donald E. Collins:

John Maberry was probably born between 1740-50 in Brunswick County, Virginia. His family soon moved across the line into that part of Edgecombe County, North Carolina which became Halifax County late in 1754. They lived on the south side of the Roanoke River along Pretty Creek and Pork Creek in what today is the extreme northwestern corner of Halifax County. It was probably there that John Mabry married. Unfortunately the name of his wife remains unknown. A short time later he moved to South Carolina and it was from there that he served for a total of 481 days in the militia under Capt. James Thomas in 1778, 1779 and 1780. Capt. Thomas was married to Susannah Mabry, daughter of Ephraim Mabry and Mary Poole. We know that John Mabry lived in Chester County in January 1794 and that he was a juror there. He later moved to Lincoln County, North Carolina and from there to Rutherford County, Tennessee about 1804.
