Hi, Let me jump into this ongoing conversation. I am James Harris Wilburn. My grandfather was William George Wilburn probably born in Ohio near the West Virginia border. Parents are believed to originate in Giles Co. VA. Just a long shot but with 23 Williams in your family tree maybe one could be William George. Vikky Wilburn Anders has been searching with me to find his parents since this is as far as I am able to go. Appreciate a response.
