Hello Charley,
First of all I would like to say thank you for accepting my apology and for yours.I felt bad having made an enemy with a person I have never met.That is never my intention.
Ironically my grandfather's nickname was "Bud". However he was from Louisana and had no middle name.His father Henry Mabry and his mother Malinda Jones, could have possibly not been married and Henry could have had other children by other women (that appears to be a family trait on my Mabry side).Henry's first wife was Lizzie Thompson and she did have 5 children by Henry. Then he left.Henry moved around a lot, possibly working with the railroad.I do not know what happened to 4 of the five children he had with Lizzie.They were all older than my grandfather.Henry was also classified as Mulatto.
Sorry this is SOOOOOO long, but as you can see, I have some information but I am hitting a brick wall right now.A lot of my Mabry relatives aren't very talkative, so there could be secrets.My father died when I was 4 years old, 31 years ago. His name was William Mabry Jr., William appears to be a very common Mabry name. My uncle did say that some of the Mabry's went to El Dorado,Texas and Arkansas.
Once again thank you and hopefully I will have "toys" to share with you that you can use.
Create a GREAT day,
Rachel A.M. Jackson
