Welbornes Well Mixed Up

That should be "1636". Typoes, ugh.

I've yet to find the PROOF that Edward Welborn (my ancestor) came from Lincolnshire, though I've always suspected he had...but, no PROOF. There is a great myth out there of a John Welborn & the Sea Venture & the Tempest at Bermuda, but, again, no PROOF. In fact, the ship's passengers as listed online have no Welborns. But, Edward Welborn is not presumptive....I've the proof of his existence.

Edward Welborn is for real, the backstory is fictional. One of my collateral ancestors really did sail on the Sea Venture, get caught in the Tempest, etc. etc. etc. - Lt. Edward Waters. And that was by no means the end of his adventures! :-) He's my great-somethingth uncle.

There may actually be a third line with a Daniel Welborn who married a Jane Bradley. People go through all kinds of contortions to equate him with the Daniel Welburne who came down to North Carolina from Accomack and with Col. James Welbourne, but there's at least one piece of the puzzle seriously out of place. Daniel from Accomack was still a minor (and still *in* Accomack) by 1774, and the Col.'s birthdate is usually given as 1771. Moreover, once Daniel from Accomack got to North Carolina (circa 1777), he married someone named Millia - *not* Jane Bradley. The contortionists assume that Jane was his "first wife" (at age 14-16?) and died before 1780 - another catch with this is that there is no record of any Jane Bradley in Accomack, and very few Bradleys at all.

Bradleys are plentiful in Connecticut - did she/her family come down from there?

Don't know, as of this writing.

well, we're related, (19th cousins once removed); not through my Paternal (Welborn) side, but strangely enough through my Maternal side (via Newports & Cheneys).

It figures - those Cheneys get in everywhere. :-P
