Frank, A search of "The History of Franklin County" , 187, (Warner , Beers Inc.) gave no ref. for Mayberry or Pennybacker. The following may be of some use, "Birth of the Iron Industry in Franklin County", by Harry E. Forman, Papers of the Kittochtinny Historical Society, Vol XIII, Chambersburg PA, 1955.
