I did not know of an American Indian connection with the name but I was aware of the African origin.

Good morning, I am a decendent of Alexander Mebane thru Nancy the oldest child and she married James Scott. My Daddy was Arthur Neal Scott, Jr. from Mebane. I do have several books that have Mebane information in them. My Grandmother was Maude Mebane, South Boston, Va. and I am having some issues finding info on her side. I am sure the hunt will reap goodness one day. If I can be of help I do share. Happy hunting, Mary A,Fl.

Many Mebanes were not born in the City of Mebane. There are many who resided in Greensboro, Highpoint, and Winston-Salem.

The Mebane Indians which are from the Saponian Tribe moved from Oklahoma to Greensboro

Some studies reveal thatThe Mebane name became prominent in Sweden around 1770 and other studies show that the Mebane name originated in Africa

My grandmother name was Alice Mebane who was a cherokee Indian of Greensbor NC

This is probably not what you wanted - but hope it was helpful.

Thanks Carol for replying. I've had a hard time finding our Daniel's family - there were so many Mebane families (black and white) in Alamance Co. around 1880 when he was born and my friend has no inkling of his parents' names. Her son's h.s. graduation is next week and she is hoping visiting family members will be able to add some to what we have found. Maybe we'll be able to eventually put our families (yours and hers) in the same place.

I too am researching African-American Mebane families of North Carolina. I recently found a marriage of George Mebane and Ellen Parham on the Alamance county website dated 1870. This would be my gggrandfather. I also found a marriage between George Mebane jr and Elizabeth Bumpass in the on the Durham website for 1890. This is my ggrandfather. I do not know if I am related to your Mebanes. Eventually my family did live in Durham but they too may have come from Mebane, NC.

Thanks,
Carol

African-American Mebanes of Mebane, NC

mkbhanna — 2008-05-02 16:06:31Z

I am doing some research for my daughter's teacher. Her G-Grandfather was Daniel Mebane, born in North Carolina (we assume in Mebane but haven't proved it)in about 1880. She was theorizing about the origin of the town's name came from the land owners in the area and of course, we confirmed that. Now, we're moving on to her family. Daniel was married to Julia Swinney (or Sweaney) who was born in NC in 1888. We've found their children and tracked some of them across the country where they scattered after they grew up.

She would love to have more information on the Mebane family of the area - the white and especially any African-American connections still there. If anyone can help, please email me.

Thanks,
Maria Hanna

Re: James Allen Mebane b.22 Nov 1862-d.28 Nov 1951

AriellaKel59 — 2007-04-21 21:41:24Z

Thank you Sandra! I will check into Mebane with various spellings. I bet thats why I couldnt find anything on JA Mebane Sr. They must of spelled it differently. You have been a great help.

Re: James Allen Mebane b.22 Nov 1862-d.28 Nov 1951

sanarnold — 2007-04-19 19:41:00Z

I'm pretty sure that Mrs. Johnson was married to Mebane prior to this marriage. Look at the information for the Mebane children. The census record shows they were born in Texas, the father in Tennessee and the mother in Virginia. She was born in Virginia.

I have not found an 1870 census record for anyone; however, there is an 1860 census record in Lamar County for a James A/D Mabine, age 30, born in Tennessee. The wife is an S M, age 20, born in Virginia. I'm certain this is the father. I just don't have any additional information to provide.

If this James was born in Tennessee, he is probably from the Mebane's of North Carolina. I have Mebane ancestry but do not have any information on the part of the Mebane family who went to Tennessee.

AriellaKel59 — 2007-04-11 04:44:40Z

I am wondering if these Mebane teenagers are Mrs. Johnson's children from a previous marriage. I will be checking into this.

James Allen Mebane b.22 Nov 1862-d.28 Nov 1951

AriellaKel59 — 2007-04-11 04:22:01Z

I see that James Allen Mebane (Sr) was born in Lamar County, Tx. In the 1880 Census it shows he lived with J.B.Johnson, and it listed J.A. Mebane as a son. I am confused because of the difference in the surnames. Did Mr. Johnson adopt J.A. Mebane? Who were the actual birth parents of J.A.Mebane? I did not find him listed in the 1870 census at all. The 1880 census listed a total of 3 Mebane children in the household. (all teenagers) James Allen Mebane is my great grandfather and any info would be appreciated.

Re: Alexander Mebane, Sr.

sholart111 — 2006-06-29 12:35:51Z

I am also related to Alexander Mebane Sr. through (Hate to admite it) both Jannet Mebane b. abt. 1742 in Orange county, NC and her brother David Mebane b. 28 Dec. 1760. Jannet's daughter Ann Anderson b. 1771 had a daughter Frances (Fanny) Mitchell b. 26 Sept. 1795 who married Alexander Mebane b. Feb. 10 1787. His Father was David Mebane b. Dec. 28 1760 and his father was Alexander Mebane Sr. b. Nov. 11, 1716. If you have any info that can help me get past Alexander Mebane Sr.'s father William Mebane It would greatly be appriciated. Thank you

Hi, I know it's been a while since you posted this but hopefully you are still on here, if not maybe someone else is who can help me. I am also related to Alexander Mebane Sr. b. Nov. 11, 1716 in Dublin Ireland. I also have his father being William Mebane b. abt. 1690 also in Dublin Ireland. That is where I am stuck. If you or anyone has any information that can get me back on track would greatly be appriciated.

Hi my husbands 7g grandparents were Alexander and Mary Mebane through their son Williamm Mebane that married Jane Abercrombie in 1766. Have a little bit more info but not a whole lot. There are two Mebane cemeteries about 45 minutes from where I live in TN one of which I know is the same line the other I am still working on. All of Alexanders Great Grandson Williams' family is buried in the one I have linked to my family line.
