Ancestors of John Maybery (1817-1870)

In 1992 the Maybery Family History Committee in Australia published A Maybery Family History by Dotothy Hunt. While the book contains some interesting statements about the history of the family, they are undocumented and specific connections to earlier generations are not provided. For example, the book mentions a Thomas Maybery, who in 1753 was the owner of the Powick Forge in Worcesterchire. Ms. Hunt states that this Thomas Maybery purchased the Brecon and Pipton forges and sent his son, John Maybery, to Brecon. She further states that this John Maybery died in 1784, at the age of 52, and that he was the ancestor of John Maybery who emigraged to Australia in 1853.

Now, with the invaluable help of John Tanner of Berkshire in England, we have been able to confirm much of what Dorothy Hunt says about Thomas Mayberry of the Powick Forge in Worstershire. We also believe that we have identified the ancestors of Thomas Mayberry of Powick, going backward to the Mayburys of Shropshire.

Mr. Tanner, with his extensive collection of early Maybury records in England, has put together the beginnings of a comprehensive chart of the Maybury family in England which goes back to the Mayburys of Cleobury Mortimer in Shropshire. His work provides us with the following possible line of descent. Those who descend from this branch of the Maybury family should understand that it is based on our interpretation of currently available records. It is unlikely that it can ever be fully documented.

Gen. 1 - John Mayberry (forgeman) was born ion 1577 in Sussex; married Elizabeth _____; buried 20 Jan 1650/51 at Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire. Their children included:

• Francis, b 1604 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire; m Joyce Potter.
• Thomas, b 1606 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire.
• RICHARD, b c1608/9 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire; m 1630 Elizabeth Newey; d 1649.
• Elizabeth, b c1610/11 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire.
• William (forgeman), b 1613 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire; m Susanna _____; d 1686 Bayton, Worcestershire.
• Ursilla, b 1615/16 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire.
• John, b 1622 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire; probably d in infancy.
• John, b 1624 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire.

Gen. 2 - Richard Maybury was born 3 January 1609 in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire; married 16 November 1630 Elizabeth Newey in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire; d 1649. Their children included:

• William, b 1631 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire.
• Richard, b c1631 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire; m 1630 Sarah Norbery; d 1694 Lebotwood, Shropshire.
• Mary, b 1635 Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire.
• Elizabeth, b 1639 Longnor, Shropshire.
• Humphrey, b 1640 Longnor, Shropshire; m Jane/Joan _____; d 1710 Monmouthshire.
• Thomas, b 1642/3 Longnor, Shropshire; m Alice _____.
• Francis, b 1647 Longnor, Shropshire. N.B. Some researchers have claimed that this is the Francis Maybury who emigrated to Virginia about 1679 and married Elizabeth Gilliam in 1685. However, the Parish records make it clear that this Francis, in spite of the spelling, was a daughter, not a son, of Richard and Elizabeth Maybury.
• JOHN, (of Strongworth Mills) b 1649/50 Longnor, Shropshire; m 1670 Jane Walker in Wellilngton, Shropshire.

Gen. 3 - John Maybury (of Strongworth Mills) b 1649/50 Longnor, Shropshire; m 1670 Jane Walker in Wellington, Shropshire. Their children included:

• Elizabeth, b 1671 Madley, Shropshire.
• John, b 1674 Pembridge, Herefordshire.
• ?RICHARD (of Strongworth Forge), b 1676 Pembridge, Herefordshire; m1 1702 Mary Wildsmyth in Pembridge, Herefordshire (she d 1709); m2 1711/12 Eleanor Llewelyn at Dilwyn, Hereforeshire (she d 1729/30; d 1743 at Stowport. Richard may have been a son of John and Jane Maybury, but it is by no means certain.
• Sarah, b 1681 Pembridge, Herefordshire.
• William, b 1689 Pembridge, Herefordshire.
• Thomas, b 1692 Pembridge, Herefordshire.
• Martha, b 1698 Pembridge, Herefordshire.
• Jane, b 1704 Pembridge, Herefordshire.

Gen. 4 - Richard (of Strongworth Forge), b 1676 Pembridge, Herefordshire; m1 1702 Mary Wildsmyth in Pembridge, Herefordshire (she d 1709); m2 1711/12 Eleanor Llewelyn at Dilwyn, Hereforeshire (she d 1729/30; d 1743 at Stourport. N.B. There are uncertainties associated with Richard Maybury being a son of John Maybury and Jane Walker. This relationship should be assumed to be proved. The children of Richard Maybury include:

• John, b 1702 Pembridge, Herefordshire.
• Richard, b & d 1702 Pembridge, Herefordshire.
• Thomas, b 1705 Pembridge, Herefordshire (We believe this is the Thomas Mayberry, who later owned the Powick Forge).
• Sylvanus, b 1706 Madley, Shropshire.
• Anne, b 1708 Madley, Shropshire.
• Richard, b 1712 Pleasley, Derbyshire.
• Humphrey, b 1713 Pleasley, Derbyshire.
• Edmund, b 1715 Llanarth, Monmouthshire; m 1742 Margaret Brook at St. John Bedwardine, Worcester.
• PHILIP, b 1718 Llanarth, Monmouthshire; m Elizabeth _____; d 1780.
• Mary, b 1720 Shropshire.

• Philip, b 1740; d 1740 Burton on Trent.
• ?Rachel, b 1749 Lansamlet, Glamorgan.
• ?Elizabeth, b 1749 Lansamlet, Glamorgan.
• Richard, b 1749.
• Ann, b 1752 Lansamlet, Glamorgan.
• Thomas, bo 1753 Glasbury, Breconshire; d 1766 Glasbury, Breconshire.
• Philip, b 1757 Glasbury, Breconshire.
• EDWARD, b 1759 Glasbury, Breconshire; m Ann Heyley.
• Edekiah, b 1762 Glasbury, Breconshire.
• Willilam, d 1760 Glasbury Breconshire.

Gen. 6 - Edward, b 1759 Glasbury, Breconshire; m 26 Mar 1780 Ann Heyley at Llansamlet, Swansea. Their children were:

• David, b 1781; m at Bristol in 1806.
• John, b 1783.
• Edward, b 1787; m 1816 SSarah Morgan at Llanelly.
• Jane, b 1 Mar 1792 Llandyvan, Wales; m 1814 Joseph Stephens
• William, b 15 Sep 1794 Llandyvan, Wales; m 1817 Sarah Thomas at Hay, Brecon. William died of cholera at Clydach, Glamorgan in 1832.
• THOMAS, b 1797 Llandyvan, Wales; m 24 Dec 1818 Margaret Morgan at Saint Mary, Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales; d 31 Jan 1847 at Wick, Glamorganshire.

Gen. 7 - Thomas Maybery, b 31 Jul 1797 Llandyvan, Wales; m 23 Dec 1818 Margaret Morgan at Saint Mary, Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales; d 31 Jan 1847 at Wick, Glamorganshire. Their children included:

• Edward Maybery, b ?1810. Edward had a son, Edward, who emigrated to the U.S. in 1879, settling in the Philadelphia area.
• John Maybery, b in Tavistock, Devon on 27 Oct 1821. He married Ann Marie Huff in 1843 and settled in the village of Wick, seven miles from Bristol. In 1852 they migrated to Australia, arriving at Port Adelaide on 9 February 1853 aboard the Walvsich. John died on 7 Aug 1870 at the age of 48.
• Morgan Maybery, b 1831 at Bristol; emigrated to Australia in 1854; m 26 Dec 1854 Elizabeth Price at St. Patrick's Church, Adelaide, South Australia; He took his own life on 19 Feb 1855.
• Ann Maybery, b 7 Apr 1836 at Wick, Glamorganshire; m 1856 Philip Bevan (s/o Edward Bevan & Catherine Mayberry) at Bath in England. Catherine Maybery was a daughter of richard who was a brother of Edward Maybery of Glasbury, who was the father of Thomas. Thus Catherine and Thomas were cousins and their children who married - Philip and Ann - were second cousins. Ann died at East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in 1919 at the age of 82. They emigrated to Australia aboard the "William Jackson", arriving in Melbourne in December 1858.
