Green Berry Mabry enlisted in Confederate States Army on 16 October 1863 at Missionary Ridge, Tennessee. He was mustered in Company G, 54th Virginia Infantry and served till the end of the war.

Green Berry was a member and deacon of the New Hope Primitive Baptist Church in Carroll County, Virginia for 69 years. By trade he was a farmer, blacksmith and wagon maker. He is the brother of Samuel and Absalom Mabry. He was married twice. First to Louisa and second to Mary Ann Goad.
It seems Green Berry left the army when surrender was pending in North Carolina and walked the short distance home. He reportedly saw Jefferson Davis riding south on a mule at that time after the last Confederate cabinet meeting at Danville, Virginia. His brother Samuel died in Georgia and was also served in the 54th Virginia Infantry.
