There were a number of Wilburn families who settled into SW VA and were related to families in eastern TN and KY. These are different families but all related. I have included a few other French families who did not marry Wilburns but instead married Wilburn kin. 1. P French m Barbara Ellen Wilburn in Giles, VA Aug 19 1884. Barbara is the daughter of Edward Burrell (Boone) Wilburn b. 1818 in Lee Co VA...and Catherine Fraley...Edward Burrell wilburn was first m to Nancy JAMES in Lee co Va in 1838. Marriage was performed by Isaac Floyd Wilburn b. 1801 whose first wife was also a James... Edward Burrell Wilburn is the son of Robert and Manerva WILLIAMS Wilburn who later settled in Carter Co KY...Robert is the son of Richard Wilburn who was married to a Hughes 2. James French m Ann CHAPMAN Jan 1 1797 in Montgomery Co VA...Ann is dau of John Chapman and UNK BRITTAIN. James was also married to Suzannah Hughes, daughter of David Hughes and Suzannah Wilburn (not proved) James was the son of Matthew FRENCH and Sarah PAYNE. James French, son Hugh French m Love Lambert in Giles VA on May 24 1820. Son Andrew French m Rebecca Day in 1834 in Tazwell Co VA. 3. Andrew Jackson French m Olivia J WILBURN Aug 24 1882 in Giles, VA...Oliva was the daughter of Patterson Wilburn b. 1821 in Giles, VA and m Mary ann EATON. 4. Andrew KIRK (neighbor of Wm Wilburn of Giles VA) m Obedience FRENCH in Giles, VA on Feb 26 1828. Daughter Rebecca Kirk m Albert M French Mar 3 1858. 5. John William Wilburn m Rachel French in Giles VA...he was son of John Milton Wilburn and Sarah Conley.. 6. Rufus FRENCH m Aramita Wilburn Jul 7 1878 ...she is dau of Patterson Wilburn and Mary Ann Eaton...Patterson is son of Wm Wilburn m Betsy Chapman... 7. William French m Aramita Wilburn 1832 in Giles VA...daughter Margaret French died in Rhea co TN 8. Somehow ST Clair French fits into the scheme of things too. He appears to be kin to the St Clair family that married into the Edward Wilburn family of Surry NC...DUNNO for sure???? If you have anything to add, or corrections or wish more info.
