I'm looking for anyone that has any information regarding a George Mayberry, born either 21 May 1885 or some time in 1882 possibly in Reynolds County, Missouri. He was married to Olive Mansfield and had 5 children. His wife Olive died around 1928 so some of the children may be from another mother.
His children were: Clarence, Gordon, Nina, Thelma, & Alvin (not in that order).
I was told that George's father was Cherokee and his mother was Pawnee and that his mother died when he was very young. His mother's name may be Maggie but if she was Pawnee, it's unlikely. I know of no siblings. The Social Security Death Index shows a possible match with b: 21 May 1885 d: Nov 1971 but my father said he was born in 1882 so I can't be sure.
He died, according to my father and the Social Security Death Index, in 1971 in Mountain Grove and is most likely buried there.
Any help is greatly needed and appreciated.

That is interesting. Perhaps a 1st or second cousin of Jane Shay Heath? I really find it doubtful that Delphia & Margaret are the natural children of Frederick & Elizabeth. They are more likely grandchildren or nieces of Frederick. If this was the case and they were orphaned and taken in by family members, then perhaps they had more siblings that were placed with other relatives in the area. This George Mayberry born bet. 1882-1885 could have been a son or grandson born to a possible brother or 1st cousin of Margaret Mayberry. A Mayberry Cherokee connection makes this even more of a possibility. I know whatever Native American blood that Jane Shay Heath had in her would not have come from her father's side. It has to lay somewhere in the Mayberry branches.
Although it may take time, we are bound to stumble across someone who has more detailed info on Frederick & Elizabeth Mayberry. Also there are two Delphia Mayberrys. One Delphia is the daughter of William Mayberry & Sarah Tenessee Lee and she married a Brown. She is a possible niece or cousin of Margaret. The other Delphia is the one listed in the 1860 census with Elizabeth Mayberry. I am not sure if this Delphia ever married or where she ended up. If she did get married and have descendants, they could prove useful in Mayberry information. Delphia was the last Mayberry listed with Elizabeth and was probably with her until she died.
