Wilbor/Wilbur/Wildbore Clean Up

Thank you for your diligence. Glad to have you in my family!

....have had trouble with the wilburn side of the family....my father's mother was sarah wilburn from tn...i am happy to see work on the family...i plan to go by the tn wilburn home places.. and the isaacs home are in mcgee ky..this summer when we go to wv for my husband's family reunion..the isaacs--wilburn families moved to tx around 1900...

Peggy J Mitchem If you have a link of an older generation of your Wilbur family that you can post here (a public one), I would be interested in how and when some got to TN. Nice to meet you. I hope you'll take photos on your trip.

I have locked field in some of the older generations and will lock more fields if I need to, to prevent bad data slipping in. This way only a curator can approve merges / edits. I hate to do this but with older historic families with a lot of repeated given names from generation to generation and within the same generation, it's sometimes necessary. I will happily unlock a field if someone has a change to make with supporting evidence. I will also be happy to look things up in New England Genealogical and Historical Society (NEGHS) online. I have an account just for this purpose.

sarah j wilburn...my grandmother was born in tn ....my grandfather john harden isaacs was born in mc gee, jackson ,ky...they married in ky abt 1897.. they had a daughter while still in ky....the isaacs family and (laurie wilburn married wilson isaacs one of john's brother) all came to fannin co . area of tx about 1900..my father choice elvin b isaacs was born in txas were ten of the eleven children..sarah died of a lung problem about 1930..i don't know much about the wilbur family... I was born in 1938 after sarah's death altho I have felt her with me in troubled times...peggy

Peggy J Mitchem - I suspect that if your grandmother is Wilburn, it's a different family than Wilbor/Wilbur.
