ANDREW JACKSON (“Jack”) MABRY

Andrew Jackson (“Jack”) Mabry was born on 9 October 1832 in what is now known as Carroll County, Virginia.  This county was carved out of Patrick County.  (The place where the Mabry family lived in Carroll County was still there; the old water mill and parts of the place remained at the time of the writing of Emery Horton’s book in 1979.)  Jack’s parents were John Mabry and Nancy Dalton Mabry.

 

Jack Mabry and two of his brothers, Calvin and Levi, left Virginia about 1850-1855.  Their parents remained in Carroll County, VA.  The brothers came on foot to what is now Elliott County, Kentucky and settled in the area now known as Laurel.  They are found listed in the 1870 census of Elliott County.  They lived in the Laurel area and raised their families there.  They were carpenters, blacksmiths, and farmers.  In reason they had to do this to exist for they carved out of the wilderness a place to raise their families.

ELIJAH MABRY

Elijah was born on 29 April 1861 and died on 3 December 1929.  He was married to Ruhamah Edens on 29 April 1884.
