JOHN MAYBERRY* MABRY
Giddings Mabry's paternal great-grandfather, John Mabry, is found on the 1830 Census of South Carolina in the Union District. Censuses before 1850 only listed a count of males and females in the household according to age group.
*TampaPix has little confidence that his middle name was Mayberry. No record has been found showing a middle name or initial for John.

John Mabry 1 1 2       1             3       1                

Later records show John was born around 1789 so John is the male age 40 to under 50.  He would have been around 40 to 41 in 1830.
Later records of Sarah show she was born around 1801 so she would be the female age 20 to under 30.  She would have been around 29 in 1830. Their son, Jesse Hughes Mabry was born around 1817 and would have been around 13 in 1830 so he one of the two males 10 to under 15.

John Mabry 1 1 1 1 1     1           1   2     1              

There is a consistency between these 1830 and 1840 censuses.  John and Sarah have both moved up one age group.  A new male and a new female are now in the household, under 5. The four males under 15 in 1830 have all moved up an age group.  Jesse Mabry born ca. 1817  would have been around 23 here and is the lone male 20 to under 30. The 2 of the 3 females under 5 in 1830  are 10 years older and are now age 10 to under 15.  One of the females under 5 in 1830 is no longer living.

 

 


 

1850 - JOHN MABRY FAMILY IN MISSISSIPPI

By 1850 John and Sarah had migrated to Mississippi and are on the 1850 Census of Itawamaba County.  This county is in the far northeast corner of the state and is bordered by Alabama to the east.

John was 60, a farmer, with $3,500 in real estate.  This is considerably more than others on the page.  His wife, Sarah (Hughes) Mabry was 48.  Both show they were born in S. Carolina.  Their son Jesse is not in their home as he was married and still living in Pickens Co., Alabama. 

 

 

 

1850 CENSUS, ITAWAMBA CO., MISS.

John and Sarah's first three children were born in SC:  James M. b. ca.1828, Eliza June (poss. Jane) b. ca.1829, and Thomas, b. ca. 1832.  Their last three children were born in Alabama:  Roderick W, b. ca. 1839, Leonidas(?) b. ca. 1841, and Elbert B, b. ca. 1843.  This is more evidence that John and Sarah came to Alabama from South Carolina between 1832 and 1839.

 

Their son, Jesse Mabry, is not in the home because he had married in Pickens Co., Alabama and was still living there in 1850

 

 

 

 

 

 

1850 - JESSE HUGHES MABRY & CAROLINE PRUDE MABRY STILL IN ALABAMA

John and Sarah Mabry's son, Jesse Hughes Mabry (b. ca.1816 in S. Carolina,) and Martha Bradford were married in Alabama in Pickens County, around 1842.  She was a daughter of Hanon Prude and Martha Bradford Prude.  Their estimated marriage year is concluded from the age of their first son on the 1850 Census. On the 1850 Census of Pickens County, Alabama, their children were John (b.c1843), David (b.c1845) and Malcolm (b.c1847), all born in Alabama.

The "NO" next to their marriage date means this date, July 29, 1852, is very likely incorrect.  If it was correct, they would not be found living together with three children born before 1850--ages 6, 4, and 2--on the 1850 Census.

 

 

 

1850 CENSUS, PICKENS CO., ALABAMA

 

Sarah Caroline Prude Mabry, wife of Jesse Mabry, daughter of Hanan Prude and Martha Bradford Prude, died on Aug 3, 1852.


After Sarah's death in 1852, on Dec. 23, 1853* Jesse Mabry married Martha Bradford in Pickens Co., Ala.  She was a daughter of David Bradford & Jane Thompson Bradford.  *This date is user submitted data, no marriage record has been found.
 

 

 

1860 - JESSE MABRY AND MARTHA BRADFORD MABRY IN MISSISSIPPI

Jesse Mabry was a merchant and did business in Bridgeville until 1856 when he and his family moved to DeSoto Parish in Louisiana. (DeSoto borders Texas to the west in the upper portion of Louisiana.)  Afterwards they returned to Lee Co., Miss. in 1860.

By August of 1860 the Jesse Mabrys had moved back to Mississippi in Pontotoc County which is on the west side of Itawamba County. The record shows Martha was 39 and born in Alabama.  Jesse's age is incorrect, he would have been 43.

Seen here are Jesse's five children by his first wife Sarah Prude: John Hanon Mabry, David Prude Mabry, Malcolm Mabry, Milton Harvey Mabry, and Martha Caroline Mabry, and two children by his second wife Martha: Groves Mabry (b. ca.1855), and James Bradford Mabry. age 1 month (b. ca.Jun 1860).  Milton H. Mabry was 10 years old and born just after the 1850 Census.

Although Jesse has no occupations indicated in 1850 and 1860, the value of his 1860 personal property is huge.  Jesse's name has been written in the old style of writing a "double s" which looks like "fs" which often looks like a "p" with a tall ascender.

 1860 Census, Verona, Pontotoc Co., Miss.

 

In 1860, Pontotoc and Itawamba counties were adjacent counties in the far northeast corner of Mississippi.

 

1860 Census, Plantersville, Itawamba County, Mississippi

Jesse's parents, John and Sarah, are on the 1860 Census of Itawamaba County, Miss.  The record shows John Mabry was 71, a farmer, with $3,200 in Real Estate and 11,385 in personal property, again, considerably more than others on the page.  Sarah was 58, giving her a calculated birth year of abt. 1801.  Albert was probably their youngest son Elbert who appeared on their 1850 Census.

 

 

 

1870 JESSE H. MABRY & MARTHA BRADFORD MABRY, Tupelo, Lee Co., Miss.

By September of 1870 the Jesse Mabrys were living in Lee County, MS in the area of Tupelo.  It is likely that they didn't move there. Lee County was established by the Mississippi Legislature on October 26, 1866, and named for General Robert E. Lee. It was formed from Pontotoc and Itawamba counties with Lee county between the two.

 

      

 

1870 CENSUS,  Tupelo, Lee Co., Miss.

Jesse was listed as a merchant with $2,000 worth of real estate and & $6,000 worth of personal property.  This was considerably more than others on this page. Malcolm was a clerk in a store, probably his father's store. Milton was 20 and the Mabry's had a 68 year old cook named Violet, which indicates they were doing quite well.

 

 

 

 

Jesse's father, John Mabry, died sometime after his 1870 Census in Itawamba County, Miss. where he last appears with his wife Sarah (Hughes) Mabry.  John was listed at 80 years old, a farm laborer, with considerably less value in real estate and personal property.  Sarah was listed as 78, but she was actually around 68 according to her prior censuses. As with his son Jesse, John probably didn't relocate, this is likely the area of Itawamba County that became Lee County in 1866.

 

1870 CENSUS, VERONA, ITAWAMBA CO., MISS.


Thomas was probably their son.

 

1880 - JESSE MABRY & WIFE MARTHA

No record or news article has been located concerning the death of John Mabry. By the time of the 1880 Census, Jesse's mother, widowed Sarah Hughes Mabry, was living with Jesse and his wife Martha.  Sarah Hughes Mabry was born 19 December 1801  died on 24 January 1881 in Verona, Lee County, Mississippi.

 


This is the first census to record every person's relationship to the head of house.  None were recorded for the Mabry household.

 

NO 1890 CENSUS
On January 10, 1921, a fire in the Commerce Department building, Washington, DC, resulted in the destruction of most of the 1890 census.  Most of the damage was from the water used to put out the fire. None had been microfilmed.

 

 
DEATH OF JESSE HUGHES MABRY
Jesse Hughes Mabry died at age 80 on Apr. 18, 1898
at the home of his son, Groves Mabry, in Kosciusko, Miss.

Kosciusko, Mississippi is the county seat of Attala County and is located in the center of the state.

"Col." isn't a military rank, it is a term commonly used in the South as a title of respect, honor, age, and social status.  Younger men are often "Maj." and "Capt." There is an aristocratic tinge to the social usage of the title "Colonel", which most often today designates a Southern gentleman, and is archetypal of the Southern aristocrat from days past. There is also a different perceptive level of respect for colonels that are reciprocally addressed as "Honorable" or "Colonel" in writing style. While the honor of colonel in the civil usage has no actual military role, the title did evolve from the military.
