It should list his father's name. If his mother and father were married and then divorced, check the divorce action. It should at least give the date of their marriage and you may find additional information. Do you know where Anthony was born? You might even check newspaper files of birth announcements. My great-grandfather Wilburn was born in Giles Co., Va. but he married his 3rd wife in Gallia Co, Ohio (twice) and I found he had relatives living there at the that time. He married my great-grandmother in Tenn. and they lived in Missouri and two places in Kansas. My grandfather Wilburn left a pregnant wife with 4 small children. I still haven't located him. My father would like to know if he has any 1/2 brothers or sisters and what happened to his father.

At 10:11 PM 12/8/01 -0700, you wrote: Hi Evajean, Neat to see your posting...And this also gives me the opportunity to say thanks for all the help that you have given me over the years. Very much apprciated!! About Lewis Wilburn b. 1803 and m to Mary Polly Bratton Chapman....You are right. No one has been able to prove that he is a son of William Wilburn and Eda Guttery Willburn who were married in Amherst Va in 1787...(marriage bond signed by Richard Wilburn also noted as father of groom...and John Guttery noted for bride...)... However, if one were to apply the duck theory, Wm and Eda would certainly appear to be the best candidates for parenthood for Lewis...This has to do with the fact, that William Wilburn and Eda Guttery Wilburn appear to be the oldest known Wilburns who settled into Giles, VA..reportedly arriving c 1780 from NC...(David Johnston's history book published in 1906 on New River families...) forget the title..but can look it up for those interested.... Wm Wilburn and Richard Wilburn appear together on 1783 and 1787 tax records in what was then Montgomery Co VA...that same year, Richard Wilburn, over in Amherst Va, also appears on tax records........So one assumes that the Richard Wilburn living next to William Wilburn was his brother and not his father....(It would appear that William returned to Amherst Va and married Eda Guttery and then after his marriage, the couple, along with his brother crossed over the Blue Ridge Mt and settled in permanently. And or they went down the New River from Amherst into Surry NC and from Surry NC went up the Clinch River into Giles VA.....my knowledge of geography is very limited...so someone else might be better able to conclude the best traveling route for that era...) I have two reasons for reaching this conclusion, i.e. William Wilburn (b. c 1760) being father of Lewis Wilburn..m to Mary Polly Bratton Chapman. 1.Only the descendants of William Wilburn appears to have lived out their lives in Giles, VA.......I am aware of no other Wilburn who lived out their life in Giles, VA who was not a descendant. (Some notes here) Richard referenced above on tax records appears to have moved on and appears to be the same Richard who is in Highland, co OH c 1808...there were two Richard Wilburns in Highland, OH by 1810. Along with some Hughes relatives... Here is what I think....I think that Richard Wilburn who enlisted in the Rev War in in Amherest VA...was Richard Wilburn jr. I supsect that Richard jr went to Highland, OH due to a land grant for his efforts in the Rev War... Highland, OH was then noted as Virginia Miliatry District and everyone who settled there was either a vet of the war OR bought out a land grant from a vet...directly or indirectly.....Richard Wilburn enlisted in the Rev War from Amherst serving in Capt Massie's unit...and it was Nathanial Massie, a brother of his Captain, who led a group of settlers into Highland, OH after the war ended....(The local DAR chapter in Highland, OH is named for Massie.)... Richard Wilburn appears on tax records in 1826 in Highland, OH...and since the older Richard was dead six years earlier it does make sense that there were two Richard Wilburns who settled into Highland, OH....Plus it would be impossible to think of a man in his ninties making a resettlement trek of hundreds of miles without immediate family to lend assistance... So.....that takes us back to Giles, VA....and my second reason which is... 2. The 1840 census records show Lewis Wilburn in Giles VA...with a male between the ages of 30-40...and another male and female between the ages of 70 and 80....At first blush I thought this meant a Lewis Wilburn who was b. beteen 1760-70...and then I realized that this was not the case..And instead, was the Lewis Wilburn who was the younger person and had older people living in his household...of course this couple could be his in-laws..but it appears that Hugh Jordan )father in Law of Lewis Wilburn) was dead before 1840....dunno???? All of this is to say this is how I have re-constructed these lines..since William and Eda Wilburn left no will that has been uncovered...if they wrote a will, it appears to have been lost to the ages... I took the time to spell this out because so many of us today are descendants of Richard Wilburn who rests in peace in Highland, OH... If anyone can find any errors in my conclusions here..and have docs that tell another story, please do let me know...Thanks much Vikky >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Classification: Query > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ncWBAIB/183.203.209.211 > >Message Board Post: > >My grandfather, George L Wilburn, was a son of Hugh Jordan Wilburn.

Lewis Wilburn b. c 1814 in either TN or IN m a DUNN...Ella DUNN...(two different records in KS ( census 1870) and also a tax records in 1873 (?) or there about, showed different birth places and also years of birth...Which made me wonder, if I was not looking at records of two different Lewis Wilburns..however, they did appear to be one in same... If only I could remember the county in KS where these census records were found...I have been racking my brain, all to no avail.... I say this only because my experiences has been that two Wilburns m to two women with the same surname means pretty closely connected. I am sure there are bound to be exceptions...At any event, my thinking is that your James Wilburn m to Sarah Dunn has a good change of being kin to Lewis Wilburn also m to a DUNN. ( This fellow with the Wilburn/Dunn ancestors and I were never able to put his Lewis Wilburn in the same family with my own Lewis Wilburns...We do know that many Dunns lived in Claiborne Co TN and that my own Lewis Wilburn and his kin also lived in Claiborne Co TN...

Hi Ruth - I just lost my job here with the bank. Please send all future emails to: andrix1@hotmail.com thanks, clw Ruth Blair <vikru@att.net> on 11/27/2001 07:36:08 AM Please respond to WILBURN-L@rootsweb.com To: WILBURN-L@rootsweb.com cc: Subject: [WILBURN-L] Wilburns and Welborns Vikky back again, Same topic as Pulaksi Co KY....looks like I confused everyone. Let me try again. Here is what I am trying to convey... Isaac J Wilbourn b. 1817 in VA is living in Pulaski Co KY with his family in 1860. William B Wilbourn b. 1821 in TN (m to Manerva Seals in Claiborne TN) is also living in Pulaski Co KY in 1860, and is living very near Isaac J Wilbourn. The question.......How are these two Wilbourn families related????? (Isaac and William). My hunch is that Isaac and William are fifth cousins...with Isaac descending back to Edward Wilbourn of Baltimore Co MD who died in 1731. And William descending from Richard Wilbourn of Goochland, VA who died in 1756. (Please keep in mind, that this is merely my THEORY that Edward and Richard were brothers.) I only have one slender piece of evidence that would tie them together. And I could also be wrong too. (The given name Richard does NOT run in the line of Edward Wilbourn/Welborn.) So back to the mystery...How are these two families related????? Here are the choices (As I see them) 1. Both men were brothers. (Yikes! If this proved to be the case, then I have EVERYTHING all wrong!) 2. Fifth cousins. (And if they encountered each other they would have done some serious head scratching trying to figure out if they were some kind of kin.) 3. Not at all....just a co-incidence that Isaac and William happen to live in the same county at the same time and also settled near each other. They each had a seperate set of Wilburn progentiors to America who arrived at different places and at different times. 4. Fifth cousins from Richard and Edward, BUT also much more closely related due to other marriages between these two lines that have spanned for over a hundred years... My THEORY is number #. 4 and in FOUR. I see lots of evidence that these Wilburns/Welborns married into the same families for over a hundred years. Any ideas out there in Wilburn world? Opinions, hunches, theories, evidence, hints, warnings? This much I do know. Other researchers have been seeking this answer for over 40 years. I would like this mystery resolved by noon today.

Vikky, I will be in Baltimore during the week of Christmas. The Maryland Historical Society has a wonderful genealogy library which is not yet on line. Perhaps there is an answer to this question in that library? I have located a great deal of information on my Moravian ancestors in the Maryland library that I could not find out anywhere else. If you think it would help, just tell me what to look for. Baltimore kept very good records in my opinion. Thanks for all of your hard work. By the way, the Wilburn tree farms in Mississippi are doing just great. I have been doing the last two sides of my genealogy this year. I picked them last because I thought they would be the dullest. I was wrong. I am a direct descendent of George W. Pickett and William Rufus King vice president of the United States. This completes all of my genealogy work. Have a great holiday season.

Vikki, The explaination of the various Wilburns was scrambled in the email, would you mind sending it out again. I am always interested in what you say. My Wilburn line goes John Wilburn mar. Mary ????? probably in NC. Migrated to Scott Co., IN and then to Shelby Co., IL where they both probably died. Know her name was Mary from will which also listed osme of his sons and son in laws. Da. Mary Elizabeth Wilburn b. 11 Apr 1799 in NC mar. Samuel Zachariah Robertson about 1819 in Southern Indiana. Migrated to Shelby/Moultrie Co., IL and then to IA where they both died in Poweshiek Co. It is thought that John's sister was Nancy Wilburn that married Nicholas Bean and who died in Clark Co., IN. I think this makes him a brother to the William who married Ann Crabtree is this correct? Also were there ever any Parks as allied families?

Vikky Wilburn Anders here... Just recently a Whitaker researcher, (who is also interested in the Wilburn line, since he too, has Wilburn ancestors contacted and posed an interesting question. Which is: What was the relationship between Isaac J Wilbourn b. 1817 in VA and living in Pulaski co KY in 1860 and William Wilbourn m to Manerva Seals b. 1821 in Claiborne co TN? My answer: I have not the foggest idea...other than they appear to be fifth cousins. And they would only be fifth cousins, IF, Edward Wilburn who m the widow Martha Mitchell and who later died in Baltimore co MD in 1731...was a brother of Richard Wilburn who died in Goochland, VA in 1756. (Key word here is IF)...My hunch is this is the case...but in fact, I have no evidence that connects them as siblings...So I am speculating here. But lets assume now that this is correct...Here is the problem.. (Please note, I am speaking roughly now for sake of brevity) Edward Wilburn d in 1731 in Richard Wilburn d 1756 in Goochland, Va Baltimore MD m to Ann Whitlock His son Wm Wilburn (b 1712) Their son Richard (c 1717-1820) m Ann Crabtree his son Lewis b.c 1770 m Susan Blevins (one of this sons..James or Richard Their son James (1736-1811) d in Barron KY appears to be father of Wiilliam W. *b 1821 in Claiborne TN and M Their son Manerva Seals Isaac Wilburn b. 1756 And he and his family end up in his son Isaac b. c 1795 Pulaski co KY in 1860 living in same area as Isaac J his son Isaac b. 1817 in VA Wilburn. ends up in Pulaski Co KY in 1860.... So roughly speaking, we are talking about fifth cousins here...(maybe?????) My hunch is that they are fifth cousins, but are also related much more closely due to other allied families... I have some POSSIBLE clues as to whom these families might be...(key word here is possible) 1. Whitaker 2 Bobbitt 3. Bratton/Braitain 4. Jordan 5. Clonch (sp?) 6. Crabtree 7. Hodge 8 Warren 9. Harmon 10. Swift Anyone have any ideas???????? Any and all opinions or suggestions, or even far better know some facts to share would be GREATLY welcomed. And if I am mistaken here, please, please, let me know why and how.... Thanks everyone! Vikky
