Note

Note:

Ms. McColman made several wrong assumptions about Charles' family given that he was the first of the family to leave Virginia and she didn't find out much about him for sometime. She first discovered Charles living in Franklin Co AR in 1870 and 1880. She never knew he had been in Crawford Co AR in 1860. She never knew about the daughter Letitia who did not move on to Franklin Co with the rest of the family. She added some sons, families she found in Missouri - that were not part of Charles family - an E. C. Mabrey, and an Andrew J. Mayberry. She misread the married name of Mary J. Maberry, b. 1850 - Mary married William Luman, not Loman. There was no son named Edward - this was an error by the census enumerator - the child born about 1857 in MO was actually "Ade" or Ada, and a female; the enumerator must have heard "Ed". The next to the youngest daughter was Vianna "Annie" and the youngest was Lamina Virginia, called "Minnie" or "Minna".

The Goodspeed article about Mathew Maberry, states that the Mayberrys were natives of Virginia, born in Floyd Co. In 1848 they moved to Schuyler Co MO and then to Arkansas in 1858. This agrees very well with most of what I have discovered about the family.

Ms. McColman stated that Charles and family had lived in Floyd Co before going West. I have checked the personal property tax rolls for Floyd Co from 1831-1850. Absolutely the only Mayberry is Absalom found only 1847-1849. Charles did have two of his father's sisters that married into the Montgomery family and lived in Floyd County throughout the period noted above - Elizabeth who married Hiatt Montgomery, and Susannah who married Jesse Montgomery.

Charles Mayberry is not found in the 1850 Schuyler Co MO census, nor have I found him anywhere. All of his siblings were still living in Carroll or Floyd Counties in Virginia.

Federal Land Patents in Schuyler Co MO:

Issued 10 Oct 1854. Milan Land Office. 80 acres.

NE qtr of the NE qtr of Twp 36, Sec 66N, Range 14W

Total of 200 acres. This land is located near the present town of Downing MO and near the line between Schuyler Co and Scotland Co to the East.

1860 Crawford Co AR, Census, Jasper Twp. Only a few households from that of William M. Wood.

Charles Maybery age 39, Farmer, b. VA; Ellen age 37, b. VA [Can't read & write], Mathew age 17, v. VA, "Lucretia" 15, b. VA. Joshua age 12, Mary J. age 11, Isabella 9, AmElina 7, Augustus O. 5, Ada M. 3 and Vena V. age 2 months. All from Joshua b. MO, placing the family there in 1850. Research of census indices online does not show this family in MO.

In 1870, Franklin Co, Short Mountain Township, p.76b, Dwelling 37

Mayberry, Chas. age 49, Farmer, $500, 350, b. VA

Ellen, age 46,Keeping House, b. VA, can't rea/write

Joshua age 22, b. MO, can't write

Isabell, age 19, b. MO, can't read or write

Emeline, age 17, b. MO, can't write

Augustus, age 15, b. MO, can't write

Edward, age 13, male, b. MO can't write [This is where Ada should be????]

Annie, age 10, b. AR, attended school

Virginia, age 6, b. AR [This child will turn into Lemma????]

On the previous page, 76a, Dwelling 32 is:

Luman, William, age 21, Farmer, b. TN can't read/write

Mary age 21, Keeping House, b. MO can't read/write [I believe this is M. J. Mayberry]

Alexander age 2, b. AR

Floria, age 1, b. AR

and Dwelling 33 is:

Mayberry, Mathew, age 27, Farmer, b. MO

Annie, age 24, Keeping House b. AR

Land Patent in Logan Co AR

Issued 1 Mar 1877. Dardanelle Land Office. 136.92 acres.

SW qtr of SE qtr, the W1/2 of the SW qtr, and the SE qtr of the SW qtr of Twp 18, Sec 7N, Range 25W.

[This must be the 137 acres Mathew was living on when the Goodspeed article was written.]

In 1880 I find on p.253A, continuing on 253B, Dwelling 372:

Maberry, Chas, age 59, Farmer, b. VA as were his parents

Ellen, wife, age 57, Keeping House, b. VA as were her parents

Isabell, dau, age 26, b. MO [she was more like age 29]

Vianna, dau, age 20, b. MO [it's a toss-up; she was born in either MO or AR

Lemma, dau, age 16, b. AR [she was Virginia in 1870.....]

Luman, M. J., dau, age 30, b. MO, widowed

Alexander, gson, age 12, b. AR as were all of Mary J's children

Flora, gdau, 10

Mary, gdau, 6

 ??Laba/Laln J., gdau, 4

Chas. gson, age 1

Also in 1880 on p.243B, Dwelling 213

Matt Maberry, age 36, b. VA as were his parents

L. A., wife, keeping House, age 34, b. AR

W. Williams, age 17,b. AR, works on farm

and p.244C, Dwelling 218

J. G. Maberry, age 31, Farmer, b. MO, both parents b. VA [sure looks like Joshua]

S. A., wife, age 29, b. MS, her father b. AL, mother b. MS

M. L. Maberry, dau, age 2, b. AR

Porter Corley, age 25, Boarder, b. AR, Farmer

I found online where Charles and Ellen B. Maberry were buried in Paint Rock Cemetery between Paris & Magazine, Logan Co. His dates 1820-1883. Her dates 11 Nov 1822 - 9 Jun 1890.

Also found the following marriages in Logan Co:

A. O. Maberry to Belle Beam, 11 Oct 1894 [This would seem to be Augustus - I never found him in 1880]

Jack Redden to Lamina Maberry, 16 Dec 1886

Johnson, W. D. to Annie Maberry on 27 Mar 1884

J. T. Bell to Bell Mayberry on 6 Aug 1891 [Censuses indicated this is Isabella]

1900 Census: Letetia A. stated she and her parents all born in "West" Virginia.

The 1920 Census gives the birthplace of Letitia's parents & Letitia as Virginia. Letitia's death certificate states that her father Charles was born in Tennessee, but the 1860 Census gives Virginia as the place of birth for Charles, wife Ellen, Mathew & Lucretia. Subsequent children born in Missouri. Vianna was born either just before leaving Missouri or just after arriving in Crawford Co, AR. Lamina was born in Arkansas.

Charles is said to be buried Paint Rock Cemetery, about five miles south of Paris, Logan Co, AR. Name is said to be spelled as "Mabrey" on his marker. FindAGrave has the cemetery but not a record for any of the Mayberrys except the family of daughter Emmeline Lee and daughter Ada Biggs.
