Good morning from San Diego... Vikky back again. Re: William Warren Wilburn b in Mecklenburg, VA and later died in AR. (1782-1834) Some researchers noted that he was the son of William Wilburn and Hep Starnes. I did not think that this could be the case. I now believe that my initial reasoning was in error. I am now convinced this is accurate. It took some doing, but this is the only conclusion that makes sense to me. NOW. Bartons and Warrens are also part of William Warren Wilburn's ancestral line... (my opinion here. ) Warrens can also be found in Barron Co KY...and I am convinced that these Warren families are some descendants of the Warren line that ties into the the ancestral lines of William Warren Wilburn...Now which Warrens begot whom...dunno??? but this is the way I read the tea leaves. Cheers to all of you. Vikky

That tells me you are serious about your research. Well Brenda you gave me quite a bit of information, that's good. Let me say that I'm still not certain there is a connection here, because the history that was handed down to us about my ancestors is that there were three brothers born into slavery in Macon. Georga, however, as a result of my research, I discovered there were a total of seven children. One of the seven children was named Solomon, however, their mother's name was Phyllis (according to the 1870 Census). No one ever knew her name or that there were other children. From what was handed down, the first three boys were by her first husband (I haven't been able to determine his name). As we know, during slavery, families were split from each other, so we don't know what could have happened to the family. What's more interesting is that you indicate your father lived in West Palm Beach, Florida form time to time. My Wilburn line is also in West Palm Beach, whom I was just introduced to two years ago. I also met a relative about two months ago as a result of this web site. That line is living in Chicago, so you see, we are all other the place. Since your Dad was born around 1917, his father could be a direct descendent of my Wilburns. You see, Phyllis and her children were found in the 1870 Census, but by that time they had migrated to Bronwood, Georgia. Three of her sons had been given as part of their plantation owner's daughter's dowery, and she and her husband (Mr. Whitaker) moved to Terrell County, Georgia. They went back later, and got their mother from Macon, Georgia. There is more, but I'll end it here for now. You see, that's why I don't want to rule you out as a relative. Let's keep trying to connect the dots. I'm going to be on vacation after today until January 2, 2002, so if you want to communicate with me, please write me at my personal email address (counts03@aol.com). You see I have these message coming to me at work, so I can respond quickly, since I don't check me home emailbox every day. Until I hear from you again, have a blessed day and week ahead. If I don't communicate with you before the holidays, be safe and happy searching. Aileen

My aunt there in Macon. Ga. her name is Emily Wilburn. She lives on Old Lundy Rd. Her husband my uncle who is now deceased his name was Solomon Wilburn. His brothers were Azar and George. They had a sister called pony. I have no idea what her birth name was, I'll find out. I was told by my cousin Eva Mae White in New york that I reminded her of my grandmother Mary Wilburn. Mary Wilburn was Solomon, Azar and George's mother. I was told that Mary's husband name was Larry Wilburn. Eva Mae white and her daughter Ella live in New York. Could there or was there a street in Macon years ago name Wilburn Street? If so, I'll tell how that street became the Wilburn Street. If not, maybe my uncle was just talking making conversation, like he always did when we would visit him. My grandmother Mary had two other sisters, Martha and Fannie that were mentioned to me. Azar, my father would have been born around 1917- 1918 according to what my mother had once told me. Aileen, I'm not sure if my aunt Emily, will tell or give you any information. You know how older people can be. As a matter of fact I don't even call her any more. Since my uncle Solomon, passed away I didn't get a chance to know him like I would have wanted to. When I would call to see how she's doing from time to time, she would cut me off like a non payment on a electric bill. One of my aunts best friends spoke with me over the phone while I was there visiting after my uncle had died, she said Brenda, you hang in there you hear. I don't know why Mrs. Leola said that. When my father died, I did my own search in finding him? When I did find him, he was living in Macon? He was living down in West Palm Beach Florida, from the time he left us as children up until I found him when I returned from Germany in 1988. I went to Macon, to visit my uncle Solomon for the first time, and we talked about my father and so on. I saw his obituary, and it mentioned he had 4 children in WV. Aunt Emily being as educated as she is, She didn't try to contact us indicating that our father had died. My brother is listed in in the Huntington, WV directory. My father mentioned it to Emily his self that he had 4 children. I'm 46 yrs.old, soon to be 47 and all I wanted was to know my family on my fathers side and that's all, but that wasn't good enough. When I mentioned the Anthony's, well that's a line on my mother's side of the family. I knew about the Anthony's from what my grandmother Lizzie told me as a child. I tell you this at times you feel like your alone in this world with no family, but that's not true. I did the Anthony family reunion in Virginia. I estimated 100 people and ended up with 378, and we have more. We've had two reunions. We're starting on our third reunion for 2003, to be held in WV. When they're large families it's planning to make it work. Aileen, I hope the information I've given you was helpful. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Brenda

Aileen, I have no idea, where my family of Wilburn's came from or anything? I'm working on my grandmother's maiden name Anthony, from Virginia. When I try to talk too my Aunt there in Macon, she act as if she didn't know or don't know anything about the Wilburn's. She married my father's brother. She's about late 80's or early 90's, still living. This was Interesting to me. I did speak with a cousin of mine from out of New York. She's also related to my side of Wilburn's in Macon. She told me that my father had a sister name Pony, because of her long hair. She gave me some other family information, which I don't have out in front of me at this time. When I get a chance, I'll look and see what I wrote down. I'm up on researching the Wilburn's because I'm sure someone else is doing it and don't have a clue that I'm in their family also. I'm really too busy with the Anthony's and have put too much money in that research to start up another one. Hey! if I'm in your family, let me know.

To tell you the truth I dont know anything about Hiram's life but I got a copy of an old, old letter that someone wrote and it said that Thomas Jefferson Wilburn(mygggrandfather) and his younger, half brother, Hiram, were brought to Ft. Smith, Ark. by Thomas' oldest brother Samuel Wilburn durring the Kansas Conflict. It stated that they had lived there with their older sister.Do you happen to know Hirams parents or when he was born? My gggrandfather was born in 1851 he was the youngest of eight I dont know when Hiram was born but the letter said he was younger. If this is the same Hiram, the way I had figured was if Hiram was a half brother you woulld think that the child would have the original fathers last name, what Iguess i am trying to say is that Thomas and Hiram may of had different mothers. Well gotta go for know but I'll haller at ya later. Happy Holidays!!!!!! Chris
