There is a Davis Welborn who received a land grant/patent for land in Madison County Indiana in 1837. Lavina Welborn Gordon named her two sons William and Davis. Davis Welborn was from Henry County Indiana according to the land grant records. William Wilborn received a land grant to land in Madison County Indiana in 1839. These Welborns have to be related to Lavina and Lewis Wilborn/Welborn. There are many Welborns buried in Madison County. In Henry County Indiana there are land grant records for Joshua Welborn, 1827, and then he has a land grant in Madison County in 1837! Also in Henry County Indiana are land grants for Emsley Welborn in 1835 and Elias Welborn in 1835. Anderson Gordon, Annon and Nancy's father, received a land grant in Madison County Indiana in 1839 aand Osborn Lamar from Clinton County, Ohio in 1837. Lavina Welborn Gordon's daughter Hannah married George Washington Lamar and one of their sons was named Emsley (Esley). George was the son of Osborn Lamar. George and Hannah Lamar moved from Indiana to Missouri then to Oklahoma. I have most of the info on the Gordon line. Nancy Gorden/Gordon/Gordan was the sister of Annon Granville Gordon who married Lavina Welborn. As I said Nancy married Lewis Welborn, Lewis was born 5/22/1817 died 9/2/1890 and is buried in the Welborn Cemetery in Madison County Indiana. Nancy is buried in Lilly Creek Cemetery in Madison County Indiana, 8/2/1826 to 10/25/1907 (her parents are buried there). Annon and Nancy's parents were Anderson Gordon and Lydia James Gordon and the paternal grandparents were William and Ann Gordon of Rowan County NC. I would love to have any info that you have on these Welborns as I have nothing and have been unable to put together how the Welborn families are related. Thanks for your reply, I truly appreciate your help. Gladys Moore
