The Mayberrys of Bedford County, Virginia

This section of our archive contains pictures of the family of Frederick Mayberry who, according to one tradition, came to New Jersey from Germany about 1750. However, there is another tradition which says he was "of English descent". It is also believed that he lived for a time near Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. He later moved his family to Bedford County, Virginia. It is possible that he was closely related to the Mayburys of southeastern Pennsylvania, several of whom intermarried with their German neighbors and attended German speaking churches. This may well be the source of the "German tradition".
