Nancy, First, let me comment about the name "General Lafayette Maberry". General is actually his first name and Lafayette his middle name. It seems unusual to us today, but I have seen several instances where military titles have been given as first names. Just a few examples. My great, great, great Uncle Hardin Cameron's second wife, Anna L. McCoy, had a younger brother named General Jackson McCoy, born in 1846 in Tennessee. Although he usually went by Jack he appears in the 1870 census as General J. McCoy. And my grandmother Cameron had a first cousin, Major M. [probably Moore, after another relative of mine who was a Union Major, James Marion Moore] Redfearn, born in 1881 in Greene Co., Mo. He died in 1978. Although I did not know him, all the records I have found on him give his name as Major Redfearn -- census, marriage, obituary. And there is a prominent Lea family in East Tennessee, at least one of whom was named Major and I think there were two or three. I have seen the first name of Admiral, too. And even today, I know a young boy under ten whose first name is Major. Others probably have lists of such names, too. These are only a few of those I have run across. When you see the "title" name being used for a child it is surely his name and also in the case of the very young General Lafayette Maberry. And briefly, as you may have noticed above, although the surname is spelled Mayberry in the marriage record and in some other records [even Mabry in 1860 census], Lafayette's tombstone and his descendants whom I have identified so far spell it Maberry. Now to the Moore family. I have indicated many times that I am descended from two Moore families and collaterally related to three others in Lawrence County. And I have been trying to identify all the Moores that show up in records in Lawrence County. I have recently learned that one line which I had previously thought was only collateral is another branch of one of my ancestral Moore families. It appears from the evidence so far that William Henry Moore's father was Samuel Moore whom it appears was another brother of my g-g-grandfather Willliam "Billy" Moore and his older brother Andrew Moore, Sr. Your Moore family is not one of mine (so far), but I have put some of that Moore family together, too, in my Lawrence County Moore research. Here is a little information on the early generations. Moore, John [b. c. 1789-90, Ireland] and Catherine Jane (?) [b. c. 1797-98, Tennessee] Family John Moore born ca. 1789-1790, Ire. died, ca. 1850-1860, Lawrence Co., Mo. - ? bur. ? mar. ca. 1811-12, Tn. - ? Catherine Jane "Cary Jane" (?) born ca. 1797-98, Tn. [or Va. - ?] died ca. 1870-1880, Lawrence Co., Mo., - ? bur. Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. children: Elizabeth "Betsy" Moore born 6 Nov 1812, Tn. never married died 18 Oct 1875, Lawrence Co., Mo. buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. Thomas Moore born c. 1817-18, Tn. married Nancy Williams born c. 1815-18, Tn. died buried moved to Dade Co. by 1855 died buried Henderson Moore born 1 Jun 1819, Tn. married 17 Sep 1864, Lawrence Co., Mo. Rachel E. (Bonham) Clack born 10 Sep 1836, Tn. died 22 Mar 1921, buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. died 20 May 1897, Lawrence Co., Mo.-? buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. Nancy J. Moore born, 18 Apr 1822, Tn. married 8 Jan 1846, Lawrence Co., Mo. Michael S. Williams born 22 Apr 1822, Tn. died 25 May 1895 or 1899, Lawrence Co., Mo.-? buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. died 7 Jan 1877, Lawrence Co., Mo.-? buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. Alexander A. Moore born 1 Mar 1826, Tn. married Nancy J. (?) born 25 Apr 1834, Tn. died 3 Jul 1923, Lawrence Co., Mo.-? buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. died 1 Nov 1862, Lawrence Co., Mo.-? buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. Mary Jane Moore born 2 Apr 1833, Tn. married, 1st, 13 Nov 1851, Lawrence Co., Mo. General Lafayette Maberry born 13 May 1830, Tn. died 2 Nov 1860, Lawrence Co., Mo.-? buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. married, 2nd, 5 Jan 1864, Lawrence Co., Mo. William M. Watterson born 24 Aug 1824, SC died 23 Oct 1911, Lawrence Co., Mo.-? buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. died Feb 1920 [or 1921], Lawrence Co., Mo.-? buried, Chesapeake Camp Ground Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Mo. In the list above, the question mark after Lawrence Co., Mo.-? indicates that I think that the person was a resident of Lawrence County at the time of death, but I have not researched records which state that the person actually died in the county rather than somewhere else, like a death certificate or funeral home record or obituary. I don't have the later descendants entered yet. And I have not listed here the various sources from which I have pulled this information together which includes probate, census, marriage, tombstone, newspaper, county histories, etc. You already have the information on the Frederick Williams family who is connected by the marriages above to the Moore family and also to the Maberry family. General Lafayette Maberry and Mary Jane Moore had only one child, a son whose name was Thomas Henderson Maberry. He served as Lawrence County Collector from 1904-1910. There is a brief sketch and photo of him in the 1974 Lawrence County History, p. 45. The son's name is given as George Henderson in the list of heirs by the Administrator in both of Lafayette's probate files but as Thomas in the censuses [including 1860 before his father's death] and other records. This is one instance where the census records are right and the list of heirs in the probate record is apparently wrong. Although I only have published abstracts of the probate record. Later papers including final settlement might give the correct name of Thomas Henderson. There is also a brief sketch and photo of William M. Watterson, who was Eastern District Judge on the County Court, 1878-1882, on p. 59 of the 1974 History. Ross Cameron >>> <APUND@aol.com> 03/31 7:07 PM >>> Well, since business here is slowing down, I'll send a query. I have a marriage between Gen. L. Mayberry and Mary Jane Moore, Nov. 13, 1851, in Lawrence Co. I feel pretty sure the Mayberry is Lafayette Mayberry, of the Chesapeake area probably. But I would like to know which Moore family Mary Jane is from. She married a second time to Wm. M. Watterson, 5 Jan 1864, if my sources are correct. There is at least, on the marriage list, a marriage that fits. I also am puzzled about the Gen. in Mayberry's name on the marriage list. He was rather young to be a general I should think, since he was born in 1832. If anyone has any clues, please send them. Thanks. Nancy Pundsack
