Ruth, I don't have anything at all on Molly Murphy. I was just responding to an someone's query on the List about Molly Murphy and W. H. Wilburn in Kaufman Co. I'm saving all these and hoping they will connect later.

Vickky, you nearly hit me where I live. Aside from WILBURN, two of my research surnames are HARDY and CHAPMAN. Not remotely connected with each other until my parents married, and CHAPMAN didn't enter into my tree until I married.

Ruth, you know how I tend to favor the human element -- even in the face of documents to the contrary, and in this case, there are no documents to the contrary that I am aware of. William W. Wilburn had a grandchild named William Warren Wilburn, and one of this William's granddaughters knows that her grandfather was named after his own grandfather, which would indicate that WWW's middle name was Warren. And that is what I am carrying in my file. The granddaughter is Mildred Wilburn Spencer. A descendant of James Johnson Wilburn, WWW's son, has also kept prettry careful record of what Wilburns were in the Arkansas countryside for the years before WWW's death, even going so far as to make plat maps of the area showing which Wilburns lived on what property, and she has attended the Wilburn family reunion in Ark. and compared notes with descendants of Wilburns who still live in Arkansas, and she also carries WWW's middle name as Warren. I agree that Warren may well be a surname of one of WWW forebears. I discovered a Wilburn in a Nacogdoches reference that I will put on the Wilburn GenForum as soon as I can get it together. Thanks for keeping in touch. As always (and you, yourself, always say something to this effect), my family file at any given time reflects the very best research can muster, plus family stories that I believe have bases in fact, together with leaps of faith and intuition that would never be accepted by the DAR. So my family file should be considered to offer only clues for further research. Good to hear from you again.

He was married to Mollie E. Murphy on September 22, 1901 in Kaufman County, Texas. They had one daughter Della WIlburn who was my grgrandma. The only thing I know about him is that (by family gossip) he eithier ran off in the middle of the night, or he died. Please contact me if you have any other info. Thanks

Vikky here again. Some of your Wilburns out there with roots in Shelby co TX might be interested in looking at this neat website. Only one Wilburn noted...but lots of other allied family information.....anyone connected to Lilue Wilburn and his line will be interested. Hope by just clicking this reaches everyone. Following is a list of Ancestors born before 1800 included in the website where their descendants number over 1000 each. Obviously, there is some overlap. FirstmiddlelastbirthDesc.

Vikky here.. I recently discovered a Pocahontas genforum and also a website. Some Wilburns are indeed descendants of Pocahontas. Names are already recorded in one resouce book. I have forgotten the title...but did poke though a maasive volume years ago. At best I recall Wilburns from TX were noted as descendants....how???? Don't know. What this means is that some Wilburn families married into descendants of Pocahontas and then their children became descendants. There must be hundreds of thousands of her descendants today. (My non-professional opinion here.) The Pocahontas archieves notes approximately 120 surnames as being (possible) links to Pocahontas... I culled through this rather short list and will now note the surnames that were allied with Wilburns ... If any of these names are known in your gen findings you might wish to check this out....And you might wish to check this out even if I fail to note a family surname...(I only have a random small sampling here)..And am merely sharing what little I do know. Most of these are pretty common names......Still, if you have found these surnames in your ancestoral lines during the colonial period, you might find this website of real interest. Here goes... 1. ALLEN 2. BROWN 3. BURTON 4. BYRD 5. BOILING/BOWLES 6. BOLTON 7. BOTTS 8. CARR 9. CLARKE 10. COLEMAN 11. EGGLESTON........RICHARD EGGLESTON WILBURN...WHO WAS WITH STONEWALL JACKSON WHEN HE FELL 12. GREEN... 13. HARRIS... 15 HARRISON 16. JONES 17 LEA 18.LEWIS 19. HOUSTON 20. JAMES 21. MARKHAM 22 PAGE 23 WALKER 25 WATKINS 26 WEST 27 WHITE 28 WILLIAMS 29 YATES.... If anyone is interested in checking further...log on to Pocahontas genform and go from there. Keep in mind that I remain computer stupid. Cheers....... Vikky

Okay I'll take you up on this. I have Arthur Wilburn born July 1857 NYC NY. His father was William (wilhelm) Wilburn. We thought he was born in England but the 1900 census shows Arthur's father born in Vermont and his mother in NY. Arthur was married to Marie (Minnie) Esterbrook. He died in 1928. I can't find Minnie and I can't find William.

Good Morning from San Diego... Tens of thousands of good folks have now put their gen research on line. This enables people like me (who have the time) to go snooping and collecting important documents along with interesting tidbits that somehow and in some fashion, match up with our Wilburn/Welborn ancestors. Everyone has a piece of the gen puzzle and its just a matter of collecting enough pieces and seeing a ancestral history emerging. Okay! So this is not easy, but it is challenging and kinda fun. Last year around this time, I had about 50 other families that were allied with those good looking Wilburns...Thanks to the internet, and the research of others, I now have several hundred new family lines that connect up with various and sundry Wilburns.. And something else I have learned...If we have one group of ancestors...Example: Wilburns/Burchetts/Herrons..1800's (Knox Co KY)...we might have two of more sets of ancestors from same lines that proceeded them. (Burchetts/Herrons) mid 1700 to late 1700's. The vast majority of us have ancestral lines than span many many generations. Boy! I surely did not understand this when I first started my genealogy research...But it is now very apparent...And all made possible due to the internet. Anyhow, since I now have a rather large collection of Wilburn and allied families in my database, I'd like to invite all of you Wilburns to send me the surnames of your ancestors that connect to your Wilburns... BUT, just make sure that these families are in your lines before 1900...and preferably before that time frame. I only have a few families (other than my direct line) after that time frame. I may not have anything that matches up...but will not know until I hear from you. If this message is not clear, let me put it this way... Say for example, you have a Catherine Wilburn (b. 1851) and she is married to a James Cook, (and you are stuck with Catherine, please forward this to me and accompanied by as much data as possible...time frame, locations, etc...given names of children, etc. As always, your time and information and good hearts are very much appreciated. Cheers and more, Vikky .
