Profiles Mentioned:

GENI shows Col. James Welborn JR 1771-1826 married to Rebecca Younger and Elizabeth Dudley.
His parents are James Welborn 1736-1811 and Isabelle Teague.

I would suggest the James Welborn JR 1771-1826 of this profile was not the child of James Welborn and Isabelle Teague.
Instead, I suggest he was the son of Daniel Welbourn III and his first wife Jane Bradley.

The profile of his supposed father James Welborn 1736-1811, carries the DAR logo. Some DAR records have his son James JR dying in MO, and therefore not the man who died in KY.

DAR records stating James JR, son of James Welborn and Isabel Teague, was born 1764 died in MO 1833.

My conclusion
GENI documentation indicates the James Jr, son of James Welborn and Isabelle Teague was born in Rowan Co. 17 Aug 1764, married Rebecca Younger, and moved to Missouri where he left his will. He would not be the man who married Elizabeth Dudley and died in Muhlenberg County KY.
Instead, I suggest the James Welborn who died in Muhlenberg was the son of Daniel Welbourn III and his first wife Jane Bradley.

Dear Hal,
James Welborn was born in Halifax Co., NC on Oct 1, 1774. (1771) He is the son of Daniel Welbourn III and his first wife Jane Bradley who were married circa 1771.They had sons Thomas, James, William, and Francis. Daniel III had 2 more wives one naned Millia. He had 9 more children by these two wives. They lived in Halifax Co., NC until about 1794 when a portion of the children removed to Pulaski Co., KY and then about1832 when William, Thomas, Jesse, James, Robert went to Muhelenburg Co., KY later Todd Co, KY.
Daniel Welbourne was the son of Daniel II and his wife Rebecca Smith. He left a will in Accomac Co. Vol 1761-1767 page 620 His children listed as Daniel III, James, Riley, Elizabeth, and Leah. All were minors.
Daniel II was the son of Daniel Welbourne and Barbara Drummond. His will lists children Daniel II, Francis, Thomas , and a daughter Arcadia.
Daniel Welbourne was the son of Captain Thomas Welbourne and his wife Arcadia Toft. CaptainThomas Welbourne was born on March 2, 1647 and died Feb 12, 1702/3 in Accomac Co., VA.
Hope this helps in your research.I also have 2 pages of Halifax Co., NC deeds for Daniel III.

If James Welborn 1771-1826 is the son of Daniel Welbourn III 1757-1774 and Jane Bradley, his grandparents might be Daniel Welbourne II 1726-1766 and his wife Rebecca Smith 1728-1759. His great grandparents could be Daniel Welbourne 1673-1733 and Barbara Drummond 1703-1756.
