Thats great news. I found a very interesting link about Mayberrys in this country. All we have to do is fill in the puzzle of where we fit. I truely believe that our Margaret Mayberry has to be the daughter or granddaughter of Frederick & Elizabeth Mayberry. Given the ages of Frederick & Elizabeth it could be a possibility that they are grandparents of hers. The 1830 census lists Frederick's age between 30-40, Elizabeth between 30-40. 1840 census lists Frederick's age between 40-50, Elizabeth between 40-50. 1850 census lists Frederick's age 62, Elizabeth as 61. 1860 census lists Elizabeth's age as 60. I think the 1860 census is nearer her true age and that she was born around 1800. Probably between 1795-1800. This would put her in her mid to late 40's at the time of Margaret's birth. Frederick & Elizabeth had at least 2 sons born between 1820-1825 according to the 1830 census. They also had a daughter born between 1815-1820. I think this daughter was the mother of the Allen children who are listed in the 1850 & 1860 census with the Mayberry family. I think they are grandchildren of Frederick & Elizabeth. One of the sons born between 1820-1825 could have married young, had Margaret in 1844 then died before 1850. The 1850 & 1860 census does not list the relationship between everyone in the household. Just another thing to consider. Below is the link of many early Mayberrys. Let me know what you think. http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mabry/
