CHARLES Mabry

(Abt 1760 - Abt Apr 1840)



Some databases show that Charles Mabry was listed on the Warren Co NC 1790 Census. In all likelihood he did have cousins living there at that time, as his uncle John and his several sons were in that county. Charles Mabry was STILL in Warren Co NC in 1800, after this Charles had obviously moved to Virginia. This Charles Mabry in Warren County was instead the son of Joshua, a son of Hinchia Mabry of the second generation.

Some databases give his name as Charles Grafton Mabry - I have not seen the middle name in any actual record.

Patrick Co Va DB 4, p.58
27 Sep 1813 Charles Mabry sold James Lawson 183 acres on the south side of Robinson Creek of the Dan River that had been suveyed for his father Isaac, 14 Apr 1791. The witnesses were John Finny, Sam'l Helton and Jacob Helton. [Since there is no record of sale, it would seem Charles had inherited this land from his father. Charles is the only child of Isaac that can be proved.]

Charles Mabry is buried (memorialized) in the Thompson-Bolt Cemetery in Carroll Co VA. Date given for death is April 1840. The cemetery is also called the James Thompson Cemetery and is near the Floyd Co line. There is a marker placed in recent years:
MABRY
Sarah Mabry, Died Aug 24, 1846
Charles G. Mabry, Born 1760's, Died Apr. 1, 1840
Believed Sarah Elizabeth Helton Mabry Buried Here [this would seem to be a duplicate unless someone thought that Charles was married to two different Sarah's...]

Gravestone inscription is per the late Ora Belle Mayberry McColman. She was told he was buried high on a hill on or very near his property. The memorial graves of both Sarah and Charles are located in a Cemetery called the Thompson-Bolt or James Thompson Cemetery. It is located on Rt 900, just west of Rt 625 intersection in Carroll Co VA.

This entry is curious - Charles not known to have a son of the same name. This may be the source of the middle initial "G" often shown for him. The problem is that Charles Mabry had died in 1840 and wouldn't be listed with a tithe even had he left an estate to be taxed, it would be in the hands of his administrator.
