There were several hundred Maybury descendants who fought in either the Union or Confederate Armies during the Civil War. Over the years we have been able to find pictures of more than twenty of these soldiers.

If you have a picture of another Mabry who was in the Civil War, we would be glad to add it to our archive of pictures.

John B. Mayberry b 17 Dec 1842 Smyrna, DE, s/o John Mayberry and Temperance Brockson; enlisted in Co. C, 1st Delaware Regiment under Col. Henry Lockwood in Wilmington, Delaware on August 21, 1861. He was noted as being 5' 7" tall, light complexioned with light hair. The unit was transferred to Fortress Monroe, Virginia where they fought in the Battle of Chantilly on September 1, 1862; served as a Pvt. in Com. F of the 1st Delaware Vol. Inf. The 1st Delaware Regiment then found itself assigned with General George B. McClellan who was moving to intercept Rebel Robert E. Lee as he advanced into Maryland. They met at a place by the Antietam creek called Sharpsburg, Maryland. After Antietam the regiment marched via Harper's Ferry to Fredericksburg where it went into battle in December as part of the 3rd Division of General Winfield Hancock's 2nd Corps. Maberry's deed of valor came on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg. There the 1st Delaware Regiment was a part of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Smyth's 2nd Brigade, Brig. General Hays's 3rd Division of Major General Hancock's II Corps. This day, July 3, 1863, the 1st Delaware was placed on Cemetery Ridge behind a short stone wall. About .9 of a mile in front, the Rebels were preparing for what was to become known as "Pickett's Charge". Finally, after a long bombardment the solid gray line of 15,000 men came into view and advanced. Col. Thomas Smyth ordered the 1st Delaware to hold their fire until the Rebels were only 50 yards away. Then "Open Fire!" was the command and the four lines of soldiers let loose with a volley. The deadly fire stunned the Rebels but they still kept coming and falling. Finally, the charge faltered some 40 feet in front of the Delaware men. Regimental Commander Lieutenant William Smith led a countercharge as the 1st Delaware men jumped over the wall. Lt. Smith was later found dead with his sword in one hand and a captured flag in the other. Private Maberry was luckier than most as he and Corporal McCarren both captured battle flags of the 7th North Carolina and lived to tell about it. Maberry received his medal one year, four months and 28 days after his heroic deed. By that time he had been promoted to sergeant. He later suffered a head wound during the Battle of the Wilderness and was hospitalized in Washington, D.C. for a while. After enduring the seige of Petersburg, Virginia, Maberry was mustered out of service on July 15, 1865, when he returned to Smyrna. Maberry was a farmer after the war and married twice. First he married Sarah E. Collins who died after the birth of their 6th child. He later married Susan Patterson and they had 3 more children. In 1912, after becoming too old to farm, Maberry moved to New Street in Dover from his farm at Pearson's Corner. There he died on his 80th birthday. He was interred along with his medal in the Glenwood Cemetery in Smyrna.
