  Will	21 Jan 1830	White Plains, Westchester County, New York   [3]
  	Will of Adam Mabee, of White Plains, Westchester Co., written 1/21/1830, proved 2/8/1831, mentions wife Ann and son Thomas B. Mabee. Probate documents also mention children Henry Mabee, Clarissa Mabee, Charles Chauncey Mabee, Ann Eliza Mabee and Edmund Mabee.
  Anecdote	1838  [4]
  	The naval expedition which Henry joined as a seaman was the United States Exploring Expedition, led by Lt. Charles Wilkes. The Wilkes Expedition, as it was known, was the first major exploring expedition taken overseas by the US government and was the naval equivalent of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. The expedition departed from Norfolk, Virginia in August of 1838. It traveled to Madeira, to South America, around Cape Horn, to the Antarctic and to the Fiji Islands before stopping in Sydney, Australia in December, 1839. On December 26, 1839, the expedition sailed again for Antarctica, then to Hawaii, the coasts of Oregon and Washington and finally back to the United States by way of Singapore and the Cape of Good Hope, arriving in June and July of 1842. The manifest for the USS Vincennes when it departed the US on August 18, 1838 lists "Henry Maybee" as a seaman on the crew. A manifest for the vessels dated December 31, 1838 also lists "Henry Maybee" as a seaman on the crew of the USS Vincennes. The manifest prepared after the vessels departed Sydney in late 1839 does not show Henry Mabee as a member of the crew of any of the vessels. In Lt. Wilkes' final report on the expedition, he listed all the officers and crew who served during the trip. Henry Mabee is shown as a seaman who "[j]oined in the United States; run at Sydney."
