The following is info that I have gleamed re: Richard Wilburn of Goochland, VA It appears likely that he was married to Ann Whitlock and that his people lived in Middlesex Co VA c 1727. Many records in Christ Church Parish show names of families that Wilburns later married into. (families who lived in Middlesex, VA c 1700-1730. Margaret Wilburn m Paul Philpott in Middlesex Co VA in 1727 And this no doubt explains why there were later generations of people named Wilburn Philpott. Elizabeth Wilburn m Robert Guttery in Middlesex Co VA in 1728. There were later Wilburn/Guttery marriages...one in Amherst Co VA in 1778. The latter appears to be a grandson of Richard and Ann Whitlock Wilburn... Note: there was also a Wilburn Whitlocks from VA. (By 1850, Lewis Whitlock was living in the home of Burrell Wilburn of Carter KY)...This is just one example of what I mean by families who continued to marry into each others lines for hundreds of years... Wm Wilburn, son of Richard Wilburn and whatsherface?? Hughes (I think her name might have been Suzannah) m Eda Guttery...Wm and Eda later settled into Giles, VA on Sugar Run Mountain and Wolfe Creek...(now known as Wilburn Valley) near Pearisberg. Wm also had a brother named Richard.. Back to Richard Wilburn who married Ann Whitcock and later died in debt in Goochland, VA in 1756. In 1743, Richard Wilburn was living in Lousia Co VA near South Anna River...his property bordered on Ragland's line...which might explain why there was also a Wilburn Ragland... John Page also lived in Lousia Co VA...and he sold land to Richard Wilburn that was located on Lickinghole Creek in Goochland, VA...The deed was recorded on 19 Mar 1750 for 100 acres of land adjoining the lands of Turner Christian, Charles Toney, Thomas Stark and John Layne. It was witnessed by Wm Williams, Giles Letcher and James Gresham. Richard also lived very near Charles Rice...Charles Rice died in Goochland, VA in 1785. Please note names in his will: Wife: Mary sons--Charles, BASIL, TANDY, WM and Holman dau...Molly TRICE witness to his will were: Daniel and Wm Borman... We also know that there were many Rice/Wilburn marriages. Hence Rice Wilburn...there must be at least four or five Rice Wilburns... I cite this due to kinships of neighbors....just about everyone who lived near anyone did so because of kinships... One can see this from those who signed Richard Wilburn land deed. His son Thomas Wilburn m Christian Page... There was also a Wilburn/Toney marriage in Powhaton co VA too... Not all Wilburns with roots in VA descend from Richard Wilburn and Ann Whitlock Wilburn... There was also a John Wilburn who m Suzannah Preston c 1740 in VA. I suspect (not proven that This John and Richard were brothers.) And I think (that he might be the John Wilburn who later died in Lunenburg, VA in 1757..) Dunno??? In fact, there were a number of other Wilburn famlies of this era who lived in VA...And I am convinced that they were all related...Not everyone agrees with this contention. I cannot prove that they were, and those who disagree cannot prove that they were not...And that's it from San Diego. But for those of you who do have some Goochland, VA ties...then think Pocahontas and her family...because we surely have some kinships. Any questions??? Anything to ADD???? Please let me hear from you. Vikkya@msn.com Cheers!
