Surname(s) Interested In:
Minter, Wilborn/Wilbourn
Comments:
I am interested in your research into the M. G. Wilborn who lived
in Tallahatchie Co. in 1850. I understand that the Minter household in which
this Wilborn was living was that of his sister (Elizabeth), who was the wife of
James Minter, for whom Minter City, Miss., was named. My great-grandmother was
Lily May Wilbourn, whose Wilbourns were early settlers in the vicinity of Hardy,
Miss., in what is now Grenada Co. All these Wilbourn/Wilborns were from South
Carolina. Lily May Wilbourn's great-grandmother Carrie Hudson Wilbourn is buried
at Hardy. She came to Mississippi from Edgefield Dist., S.C., in the 1830s where
her husband William Wilbourn had died leaving a will. I suspect all these
Wilborn/Wilbourns are close kin -- just am not yet sure how.
