Antoinette, Unrelated to your question, do you know anything about the Wilborn family of Shelby county? I'm interested in finding more about a Nancy Smith that married a James Wilborn in Shelby County 3/27/1828. Thanks, Brian -----Original Message----- From: Antoinette Waughtel Sorensen [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2001 5:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ILSHELBY] WILBORN CEMETERY - SHELBY COUNTY Is there anyone here in Shelby County who may be familiar with the locale of the WILBORN Cemetery. This has also been spelled WELBORN, WILBOURNE, and other spellings. What we are trying to determine is whether this is an old family cemetery, a church cemetery, who was the original owner of the land, or anything of its origin. This would have been in the early/mid 1800s (1820-1850??). Would there be a way of checking this through a Title company (Abstract Land Title) to follow the trail of who owned this property if found? Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any advice one might give us. Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington) [email protected]

No, I don't, Brian. I posted the query for some others that are on a "community" type e-mail group mainly Robertson but includes Wilborn etc spellings. What I am going to do is copy/paste your message to the "leader" and she in turn will post to our little group and I am sure you hear from a few of them who are researching your particular surname line.
