We are having a family reunion for the Magbys in July in Carlsbad New Mexico and I was wanting some information on my family blood lines and all other info I can get so I can put together a family book and I am hoping to meet "lost" relatives that the Magby's in nm havent had the pleasure of knowing. Any and all info would be GREATLY appreciatied

My name is April. I am a Magby and my family comes from Arkansas. I have been trying to find information on them its hard though. I was looking for info on a Walter Magby born early 1900s. Please write back.

Is this the man you're looking for?

WALTER MAGBY, 11 Nov 1893 - Jul 1985. Last residence: Bismarck, Hot Spring, AR 71929. SSN: 430-26-6502, issued: Arkansas

I found this record in the Social Security Death Index at Rootsweb: http://ssdi.rootsweb.com

If this is your man, be sure to leave a Post-em with your contact information attached to his record. You can also send away for his SSN Application if you like.

I am the great granddaughter of the Walter Magby from Bismark, Arkansas that is mentioned as a possible link. This is not the same Walter, of this I am absolutely positive. I did find another Walter, Walter Henry Magby. I also found Jake (Jacob)that the writer of the post was searching for. He is the son of David Magby b.1819 Alabama (1850,1860,1870 Arkansas Census)All of these families, it seems, are related because they all traveled at the same time to Arkansas. The older children were born in Alabama, the younger in Arkansas. Robert Magby, b. 1784 SC, is also with these families. Though they are listed in separate counties, they are all on the county borders, very near each other. ..

Your Jesse Franklin Magby b. 1895 in Texas, is the son of Wesley Magby from Arkansas. Wesley was the son of John Alexander Magby b. 1813 in Alabama. Alexander took his younger children to Texas abt 1872-1874. They are closely tied to the Pullins, Massengales, and Angermillers in Bee, Live Oak and Karnes Counties. I belive Jesse's mother was a Ricks, and the step daughter of Wm. Riley Massengale. Jesse's uncle, William Martin Magby married Martha Massengale.

I am looking for a Charles Magby born in Alabama in 1845. Does anyone have any information they could share?

I posted this on the Massengale query you had. I hope it helps. On the 1850 Hot Spring County, Hot Springs, Arkansas Charles Magby b. 1842-1843 in Alabama is listed. He is the son of David Magby b 1795 and wife Betsy.There were at least 2 brothers (David and Robert) and at least 5, what I presume to be nephews, of those men who all came to Arkansas at the same time from Alabama. Those 5 brothers may be the children of William, but there is no record of him in Arkansas by the 1850 census. Perhaps he died here before the census.
