Am trying to determine if Aaron Welborn b. 1760 and brother James Welborn b. 1763 were married to
first cousins or sisters. One of them married Rebecca younger and the other brother married Elizabeth Younger. Were they both daughters of James and Anna Younger or were they first cousins- one being the daughter of James and the other a daughter of James Younger's bro? Help.

Item 2.
"Missouri Pioneers" WILBURN'S/WELBORN'S
Posted by Betty Donahoe on December 17, 1998 at 23:19:22:
In the book of "Missouri Pioneers" of St. Francois County, MO, 1822 to
1852 are the following names mentioned.
Elizabeth WILBURN,
Carter T. WELBORN,
Thomas WELBORN,
& James WELBORN,
Will dated July 15, 1841.
Children listed are:
Moses,
Elizabeth,
Aaron,
Susanna,
William,
Thomas,
James,
Chapley
and Carter.
Then two other names are mentioned in this book of Isaac WILBURN & James WILLBURN.

This information was found in one of the old cookbooks of one of my relatives.
I do NOT know if this book is even in print anymore but wanted to share it with everyone.
Upon doing a little research on it, I did find some or most of these WILBURN'S/WILLBURN'S/WELBORN'S in the county that I previously mentioned.
Hope this helps someone out there in their research. After all, this is what research & genealogy is all about, helping others find their ancestors!!
