His brother Robert's published biography cited this older brother Mayberry's great influence on him and detailed Mayberry's surveying work in the area.
The biography is in the middle of the document at this link: http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/blair/bios/sell/het-jon.txt
That biography said his brother Robert preserved Mayberry's diary of 30 years. Does anyone know where that diary is now?
Mayberry's wife and daughter were both named Keziah Negley Irvine/Irwin and both died in 1857, the mother a couple of weeks after the birth of the daughter. It is not clear whether they are buried in Carson Valley or elsewhere. Mayberry's wife's family are buried in Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh but she is not listed.
Inherited family Bible pages report that Mayberry and "Kizzie" J. Negley were married at Pittsburgh PA by the Rev. J.N. (or H?) Baird on 8 June 1855.
Mayberry's younger brothers Henry L. and Alfred served together in Pennsylvania's 125th at the battle of Antietam, America's bloodiest battle. Both survived the war. Henry is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Alfred in nearby Congressional Cemetery.
Mayberry's parents and several of his 10 siblings share his cemetery.
