Joshua Mabry and Frances B. Strother. Joshua Mabry 1785-1836 and Frances B. Strother 1798-1862 married around 1816 and raised their children in Louisburg, Franklin County, North Carolina. Joshua was something of a brick wall. I chipped away for a while and it seems he may be a child of Reps Mabry of Warren County, NC. After Joshua’s death, Frances and her kids moved to Greene County, Alabama.
