I am working on a line containing the name MAYBRY. That is bad enough with Maybry, Mabrey, Mayberry, and everything else you can imagine, but my question has to do with a first name. The earliest Maybry I have found was named Gilliam Howard Maybry (1846-1921). That is what his tombstone says, although it is not an original stone. I thought that Gilliam might be Welsh for William. I found this fellow on the census of 1870, but he is listed as George. The dates of his birth, the name and date of birth of his wife, the location all match. His last name is spelled Mayberry (no surprise). On the 1880 census his name is back to William (this time Mabry). The dates and names of wife and children are correct. He has added a few kids, but the ones that were there in 1870 are still there in 1880. I know it sounds like two different folks, but I am PRETTY SURE they are the same. My question is this: Has anybody ever run across this name Gilliam? If so, could it be another name for George? I guess it is possible that he had a third name and was actually Gilliam (William) Howard George Maybry. I hope to turn up more info when I find out about wills, death certificates, ect. This line is in South Carolina, so this is a new state for me. Thanks for the help. Knox Martin
