Hi I am looking for any information or anyone who has ties to the following families in Shelby Co., IL The years would be 1825 to 1870 and there may be descendants living in Shelby County, IL today. John Wilburn/Welborn/Welbourn and wife Mary ???? were born and married probably in NC They had seven daughters and 3 sons according to the 1820 Scott's County, IN Federal Census. They arrived in Shelby County in 1825. 1. Mary Elizabeth b. NC 1799 m. Samuel Zachariah Robertson abt 1819 probably Jennings or Scott county, IN. 2. Ann b NC m. Simeon Robertson in Scott Co., IN 1 Sept 1824 (Samuel and Simeon are brothers born to Nathan Robertson son of Robert Robertson of MD) 3. James mar Nancy Smith 27 Mar 1827 4. Lydia(Lidy) mar 1x Jerimiah Provolt 4 Oct 1827 2x ???Deeds 5. Sally mar Henry Smith 8 Nov 1827 6. John mar Ellen Webb 29 Apr 1838 7. Lavina mar Thomas Howe 10 Aug 1839 8. Isaac mar Sarah Little 4 Oct 1838 9. Elizabeth married Abraham McCune 10. Sarah Ann mar Samuel McCune She was his second wife. I can find no record of this marriage or of Elizabeth's. From the Combined history of Moultrie and Shelby counties I know that Jacob McCune arrived in the area in 1828. Samuel and Abraham are his sons. I am looking for the parents of John who may be Isaac and Martha of Rowan Wilburn/Welborn of NC. Does anyone have any information to support this? I have been told by a Wilburn/Welborn researcher that there is always an Isaac and a Lavina in this line from Isaac and Martha. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. Sondra Mansfield, TX

Hi Sondra, Although not related to the families, I do have some data on them. My family came to Moultrie and Shelby Co in the 1830s. As I searched for them and relatives, I recorded their neighbors, hoping to find connections. In this case, none materialized. If you will e-mail me, off list, I'll send you a gedcom of the data I have, including notes and sources, which include the county history you mention and Moultrie Co. records. Look forward to hearing from you.
