Hi, I'm searching for information on my gggrandpa Israel Mayberry m. to
Catherine Haas /Hass of Hampshire County, Virginia. My ggrandpa Francis
aka Frank Mayberry was born @ 1835 in Maryland. Israel was a Carpenter
by trade. He knew a lot about building Forges, Furnaces, Bloomery's and
Mills. His family (Father George and other brothers and Uncles were
Iron workers and Refiners of Iron). Reference Pottstown, Pa., Pine
Forge, and in Franklin Co., Pa., Richmon Furnace and possibly several
others. George and Israel Mayberry (father and son) built Columbia
Furnace at Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia owned and operated
for many years, sold it and settled in Belleville, Wood County, Virginia
on their plantations in that area. Israel also, lived in Hampshire
County near his in-laws the Haas family. Any information on these
people will be appreciated. Thanks, Frank Mayberry in Muskogee, Ok
