Gordan Lewis can be found in the 1850 Giles, VA census records along with his parents and siblings. His parents are Lewis Wilburn b. 1803 in Giles, VA and Mary Polly Bratton Jordan. His siblings are: 1. Georgia C Wilburn b 1831 2. Harriet Manerva b May 10 1832 3. Angeline b 1834 4. Heneryetta Virginia b 1824 m to Lewis Rogers 5. William S 1838 m to Rebecca Gautier 6.

He married Julia Hochhkins on April 17 1867 in Mercer Co VA children were: Ernest b Jan 7 1844 m Carnez Ramsey and unk who m unk Farley.... And Beth, I have my database up and running again. Always good to hear from you.... See, there is a reason why you have Hugh Wilburns in your family...Right??? Now the parents of Lewis Wilburn b. 1803 are probable William Wilburn b c 1860 and his wife Eda Guttery...William was son of Richard Wilburn...and unk Hughes...Richard is the fellow who lived to be over 100 and died in 1820...I have No idea how many children he produced throughout his long life. Was still begetting children in his sixties. Let me know if you want more...vikkya@msn.com Cheers, Vikky ----- Original Message ----- From: Beth Shumate Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2002 3:25 PM To: WILBURN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WILBURN-L] Gordon and Julia Wilburn 1880 Summers Co WV Census Does any one have knowledge of this couple. Gordan is 38 and Julia is 34. Their children include Luther B.,12; Irine, 10; Hettie F., 9; James L., 7; Edward, 5; William O or P, 3; amd Roberta, 2. Gordan and the five oldest children were born in Virginia. It's slightly possible that the William listed may be my d/h ggg-grandfather.

Hello Vikki, You've been telling me for what, a year?, that I'd end up in Giles County with my Wilburns. This is my most promising lead to date. I was actually working with another researcher on the possible parentage of George W Folden (and his wife Martha Oliver), who has a daughter named Eliza J. Folden. I believe this Eliza to be the wife of my William Wilburn. Anyway, I was tracking a Jesse Y Folden - who I found in the 1880 Summer County census - and decided it was worth a look for Wilburns. Ain't life strange.!!!! I was surprised to see some (Lord know's how they are related) Shumates also living in Summer County. Thanks for the information. Glad you have your database up and running.
