Wilburn born June 1846 in Carter Co. Ky. died 28 Dec. 1924 in Carter Co. Ky. His wife was Mary E. (Watson) Wilburn, this should be the other Mary E. Wilburn. They had six children, I have all the names & many dates if anyone is interested, I also have our line of Wilburn's back to my 5th Great Grandparents Good Day Thanks Lowell C. Wilburn

About John W Wilburn who died in Civil War and Sarah Jane Morris Wilburn, his widow who later in 1865, married Aaron Nettles Wilburn, cousin of John W. Wilburn, I know no knowledge of this family. However, I do show some information that leads to me think it likely that John W Wilburn and his cousin Aaron Nettles Willburn were kin to Zachariah Curtis Wilburn b c 1809 who married Edith Dutton Nettles on Dec 5 1833 in MO. Possible in Danville. I show that Zach Curtis Wilburn and his wife Edith D Nettles Wilburn also had a son named Aaron Nathan Wilburn, b 1843. I collected this information from other Wilburn researchers who also note that Zachariah Curtis Wilburn was the son of John and Mary Curtis Wilburn. I would think it likely that John W Wilburn that you are seeking belongs with this group of Wilburns who have roots in Cumberland KY and whose ancestors were in Surry NC before that. Hopefully others on this forum can provide you with better an more precise information.

Some notes re: Robert Wilburn (b 1780-1858) of Carter Ky and some of his ancestors and descendants. ----- Original Message ----- From: Vikky Anders Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 1:49 PM To: Reed, Sunni Subject: From Vikky in San Diego Richard Wilburn b VA c 1717-1820 (died in Highland OH) and yes, he was indeed over a hundred. One of his wife's was a Hughes...I have no idea of just how many children he had but his youngest known son was Robert Wilburn. Robert Wilburn b c 1780 VA (not TN) died in 1858 in Carter Ky. Robert m 1. Manerva Williams and all known children were by this marriage. (Info taken from death certificate of daugther Manerva Wilburn Crank, wife of Preston Crank of Carter KY) (Robert's second wife in his later years was Priscilla Fultz Gollihue Wilburn. They were married in Carter Ky in 1844. No children from this marriage.) Known Children of Robert Wilburn and Manerva Williams Wilburn were: 1. Edward "Burrell" Wilburn b 1818 in VA and died c 1875 m 1. Nancy James. This marriage took place in 1838 in Lee Co VA and was performed by Rev Isaac Floyd Wilburn. Three children from this marriage. Burrell Wilburn later married Nancy Fraley on Nov 7 1848 in Carter KY and children from this marriage were: Cinderalla Wilburn b 1848 died Sept 18 1882 in Carter Ky m Silas Williams. (I believe that Silas was related to Cinderella's grandmother, Manerva Williams Wilburn family.) Mary Eliz b 1850 m Dec 18 1866 to Johnson Carmel in Carter KY Kirkus V b 1852 m Emma Annie Whitlaker on Jan 11 1873 in Carter KY Ephraim b 1856 m Christina Hicks on Mar 24 1874 in home of her father Rueben Hicks of Carter Ky...(I also show that he married Sarah N Williams on Apr 6 1876)...Hope that I have not confused him with the other Ephraim Wilburn, his cousin, also of Carter Ky. Noah Lewis Wilburn b 1857 m Phoebe Wilburn (a widow) on Oct 25, 1882 in Carter KY Jesse b Dec 4 1859 in Straight Creek in Carter Ky --------------------------------------- Other known children of Robert and Manerva Williams Wilburn were: 2 William Wilburn b 1821 m Nancy Long 3 Robert b 1816 m 1. Mariah Wilburn, daughter of Lewis Wilburn (1802-1884) and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Wilburn. Lewis b 1802 was son of Lewis Sr and Susan Blevins Wilburn. 2. Mary Ann Ross. Robert and mary Ann Ross Wilburn died in Ross Co OH. 4. Manerva Cotilla Wilburn m Preston Crank 5. Charlotte (lettie) m James Madison Gilbert of Carter Ky 6. Gully Wilburn b 1829/30 d 1900 Boyd Co KY m Martha Robertson, martha's mother was a FRIEND. ---------------------------------------------------------------- About Manerva Williams...I suspect that her parents were: Philip Williams (a Rev War vet whose father Heinwick Wilheilm was b in Germany)and Catherine Harmon, probable kin to Heinrich Harmon also a German immigrant who was later known as Adam Harmon. His son Henry Harmon m Nancy Welborn and this couple later moved from Rowan Co NC into Giles, VA...Uncertain as to parents of Nancy Welborn...reportedly she is daughter of John Wilburn and Suzannah Preston Wilburn b c 1720 in VA... Children of Philip Williams and Catherine Harmon are: patience Williams m Ronald Lucas Dec 25 1782 Montgomery Co VA (later Giles VA) George b c 1770 Mordecai Williams m Mary Davidson Agnes Williams b LeRoy Duncan (of the Duncan family of Fauquier Co VA) Isaac Manerva (noted above m to Robert Willburn) Mary m Christopher Champ....kin to Champ family who trekked with Daniel Boone Henry m Suzannah Champ Eli James m Sarah Ruggles on Nov 20 1820 in Greenup Co KY ------------------- Silas Williams who married 1. Cinderella Wilburn, was the son of James Williams and Sarah Ruggles....James was son of Philip Williams and Catherine Harmon...2 Emily James was second wife of Silas Williams...Her brother George James, married Mary Ann Wilburn, daughter of Lewis Wilburn and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Wilburn of Carter Ky...

>From Vikky Wilburn Anders I just came back from my local LDS library. While there I discovered a fairly new family history book (published in 1998) titled 'The Starnes of Southern States'. The author is Jessie Ruth Starnes Russell, like me, she also lives in San Diego. Ms. Starnes-Russell has devoted a number of pages re: Welborn families in AL and GA from the 1850 census records. In addition, she has also included to a long line of Welborns and Starnes families from NC and elsewhere. I did not have a lot of time to review her book, but I can tell anyone who is interested that Ms Starnes-Russell spent a good many years researching her material and her book is very detailed and informative. It would appears that much of her work regarding the Welborn families is also the same work that has been researched by Ann Gahan who also spent a good many years collecting her material for her own book on descendants of the Welborn/Teague/Starnes lines. If this book appears to be of interest to you, let me know. It would be easy for me to contact the author if you have any questions.

Another Wilburn given name that connects to Boone family. Can anyone add to this? Thanks again. Vikky Wilburn Anders vikkya@msn.com http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?wilburn::boone::644.html

Wilburn Boone was a descendant of the Daniel Boone line. Can anyone add to this? Thanks! Vikky Wilburn Anders http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?wilburn::fortner::866.html

Here is something that I found interesting. Lots of us Wilburns were told by our families that our ancestors had some connection to Daniel Boone and his family. Can anyone add to this? Thanks Vikky vikkya@msn.com http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?wilburn::fortner::866.html

Hancock Co TN (1850) For those of you who have roots in Claiborne, Hawkins and Hancock Co TN, please note that I asked Bill to also send me the names of nearest neighbors of all Wilburns who resided there during this census.

Charles Wilburn, b. abt 1863 in TN, traveled with other family members to Indian Territory where he married a Cherokee Indian girl. Between about 1880 and 1885 they had six children: Charlie Jr, Curtis, Blanche, Sadie, Anna and Fred all born in or around Ada, OK. It is possible that descendents of these children still reside in the Ada, OK, area and I would like to make contact with them. Also, Gunnery Shelton Wilburn, b. 1851 in TN (brother of Charles Wilburn) had four sons by his first wife, Alice UNKNOWN, b. in LA. The oldest son, Edwin or Edward "Ed" Wilburn married Lou Derryberry, 29 Aug 1896 in Milton, OK. They had five children: Charlie, Rose Wilburn Herren, Buck aka Buster, Delma or Delmar Wilburn Ashworth, and Beulah "Dutch" Wilburn Herren. A descendant of Beulah recently moved to Ada, OK. His e-mail address is no longer valid but he mentioned that he thought he had cousins living in the Ada OK area. I need assistance. I am the granddaughter of Gunnery Shelton Wilburn by his second wife, Mary Virginia Smith.

Descendants of this same Ruggles/Plummer line also ended up in Carter KY and were related to Lewis Wilburn and his family. Lewis Wilburn also had a son named Nelson...I am certain that there are some clues here for those of you who have Wilburn ancestors in Allegany Co MD.

Fran, Sorry, the list is over 2000 entries and I don't have a scanner. At best, if you hit me with a surname I will eyeball the list and let you know if I find anything that appears to be a match or anything similar. I tried to post surnames that I recognized that were the same surnames of families that later generations of Wilburns married. For example: Sibley, Waters, Jordan.

Vikky here. I thought that at least a few of you might find this tidbit of information of some interest. Just a brief note of history. The First Company of colonists which included the legendary Captain John Smith arrived at the shores of Virginia in 1607. A year later until 1610, were known as the starving years. Literally many early colonists perished due to disease and starvation. Indian hostilities also factored in to the high death rate. The vast majority of the first settlers were of gentlemen class and they had no concept of survival skills in a wilderness land. From the onset the First Company experienced tremendous hardships and over a short period of time things went from bad to worse. By 1621, there were approximately 2500 hundred colonists scattered within a sixty mile radius throughout VA. In addition, slavery had already begun in 1619, when some Dutch traders bartered four black men as slaves in exchange for so many bales of tobacco. In March of that same year, an Indian upraising occurred. A sneak attack if you will. Within hours many unsuspecting colonists had been slaughtered. In all, over 446 colonists lost their lives, including women and children. However, the Indians were beaten back in the process and many former Indian friends were killed in retaliation. The following year in February of 1623, a muster was taken to record the names of all colonists who survived the Indian attack. This muster or roster survives today and many books in genealogy libraries report the names recorded back in 1623. (Please note, that spelling during this era was for the most part, very much different than we spell today. It is often easy to miss surnames of our ancestors due to such vast differences. For example: Thompson was then spelled Thompfon. The letter F used instead of S. Osborne was spelled Ofborne. etc. etc. The given name Isaac was then spelled Ifacke. And appearing as a survivor in 1623 was one John Walfbourne. I am now convinced that this was John Wellsbourne or Welbourne. And due to this method of spelling, I indeed overlooked him many years ago, as I searched to see if indeed any Welborn was in the tiny VA colony before or while this muster was taken. What all of this means is that it is indeed possible that there was a John Wellsbourne or Welborn on board the 'Sea-Venture' as has been reported for many years now. Had this name NOT appeared on this muster, then the obvious answer would be that the 'Sea-Venture' carrying any Welborn is not based upon fact. In my mind anyway, this does open up the possibility. And my own thinking is that this is likely to be a true account. BUT that's a very long way from proving this to be the case. Now this muster does show some names of individuals and (again to my thinking) they are probable and/or possible ancestors of those of you who also have Welborn/Wilburn ancestors. Again, this is not conclusive. And there is no way that I can fill in the gaps and tell anyone with any certainty that they descend from one of these early colonial VA colonists. However, with some of the more uncommon surnames, this does present a very high possibility. What we do know is that the vast majority of us on this Wilburn website have very early colonial ancestors. And it goes without saying that they lived long enough to marry and have children or we would not be here today. Please keep in mind that I am only postings surnames that are known to me and have knowledge that those whose surnames I will post are the same surnames of individuals who later married into various and sundry Wilburn families. I will only post one individual of same surname...and will omit some individuals whose surnames are just too commmon, i.e., Jones, Williams, Walker, Baley.
