Emma Corine Welborn (Bombard)

Per Emma Corine, there are four sets of WELBORN's that live in Louisiana, migrated from Mississippi, and yet none are related. She mentions the following names from some of these "unrelated" WELBORNs: Jess WELBORN; Ben WELBORN; Weber "Peewee" WELBORN; and then there was Troy WELBORN, who WAS related: A first cousin to Henry Marvin WELBORN. Peewee WELBORN and Emma Corine's half brother Frank, were close friends. Emma told me that there is a family plot in Wallace, LA - the Wallace Cemetary. Furthermore, there are no markers. Buried there: Her mother, father, two brothers, three sisters, her grandmother, and an uncle. Emma related the story to me that when the children were still very young, she would take them with her to the work fields (cotton), set them on a pallet of blankets beneath the shade of a tree, provide them with a bucket of drinking water, and there they would entertain themselves all day long whilst she worked the cotton fields.

Her grandfather was the only Bombard to come south; she had met only one other Bombard in Louisiana, and he had migrated there from the North -- she has since lost track of him. All of the Bombards, and Emma Corine's mother (Emma Elizabeth "Emmaline" Davis) are buried in Wallace Cemetery, Wallace, Louisiana.
