HARDIN MAYBERRY is a son of Gabriel Mayberry, who was a Virginian by birth
and married Rosanna Hardin, of South Carolina, by whom he had four
children. They came to Tennessee when quite young and when Nashville was a
small collection of cabins. The father was a Democrat and a prosperous
farmer and lived to be seventy-five years of age. His widow outlived him
but a few years. Grandfather Mayberry was a Revolutionary soldier at the
age of seventeen, and was intimately associated with Gen. George
Washington. Hardin, our subject, was born in Hickman County July 14, 1826,
and was reared on a farm, receiving a common school education. Since
attaining his twenty-first birthday he has farmed, and now owns a well
stocked farm of 1,000 acres. In 1847 he married Cornelia E. Galloway, who
died in 1856, leaving four children: Mary M., Harriet C. and two infants,
deceased. Mr. Mayberry's second wife was Mrs. A. P. Blair, who bore him six
children: Lawreston H., Emma P., Lula L., Harvey, Cora and Gabriella. Mr.
Mayberry was a soldier in the late war, serving, in Company A, Forty-eighth
Tennessee Infantry. and was one of the defenders of Fort Donelson. After a
two months' imprisonment at Camp Chase and five months' imprisonment at
Johnson's Island he was exchanged at Vickburg, and failing health caused
him to be released. He served as first lieutenant about one year.
