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.
