Hi - I just sent you a message on Ancestry.com. Please check your Ancestry messages and let me know if you can help. I'm looking for information on Abigail Wilbor (born about 1768), daughter of Joseph Wilbor and Mary Sterns. She was married to Ephraim Knapp and they had a son named Joshua but I'm trying to find records to verify that. Thanks in advance for your help!

Wilbur's in/or from Pontotoc Mississippi

dlwilbur1 — 2012-03-05 22:21:37Z

Almost ALL of the Wilbur's from my family are from Pontotoc Mississippi. I am looking for any others from that area.

Harriet Wilbur m. Cyrus K. Anderson

muldooner — 2012-02-29 08:04:50Z

Hello, I have reached a dead end on Harriet Wilbur, who married Cyrus K. Anderson in the area of Buffalo, New York, in about 1839 (she was his third wife). I have a picture with a note that she was born 1822, died 1860. She and Cyrus moved to Chicago shortly after marriage and I think she died in Elgin, Kane County, Illinois (I have them in the census). They were likely involved in the temperance movement. Any suggestions for where to look for leads on Harriet's family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Reed Wilbur (b.1775) or Reuben Mann Wilbur (b.1812)

brdbndr1 — 2012-02-15 03:17:56Z

I'm trying to locate information about these two Wilburs who, I believe, initially resided in New York or Vermont and then lived in Ohio before Reuben and his family made there way to Iowa. Thank you in advance for your help!!!

I am unable to find your e-mail address or where you wish me to send the scans as I do them. I will do them not small so will send a few at a time as to not overload you mail.
Also I have ( for some reason ) Pictures of the Holcomb grave site in Boone if you wish.
For some reason Julia is listed as Wilbur instead of Griffee and the large marker has Griffee on one side and Holcomb on the other.Her and Maxson are far away from the other Griffee family for whatever reason and Maxson was never given a stone??
stc2581@msn.com
Julia is the stone that can be seen just to the right of the Holcomb marker.

Re: DWIGHT LOCKE WILBUR

M_Wilbur77 — 2012-01-02 21:40:50Z

What riches! Please do scan them.

Joseph C. Wilbur was Dwight Locke Wilbur's father.

Clarinda Colburn's (Mrs Dwight Wilbur)father and a brother had the name of David. So that letter could be to either. Not sure who the J.M Colburn or Gilbert Coats are...

Orlando R. Wilbur was Dwight Locke Wilbur's brother. He lived in Ohio.

Louisa Rebecca Wilbur (Joseph Cephus Wilbur's and Clarinda Colburn's daughter and Dwight Locke's sister) married Charles J. Holcomb in 1864. She lived in Ohio and died in 1910. She and Charles had two sons Virgil and Frank.

stc2581 — 2012-01-02 21:09:18Z

When getting ready for Christmas I found a shirt box in with my wife's craft things that had the letters in it. Along with some other items.

I have some to Mr. Joseph C Wilber in Mecca trumbull county Ohio

Also some with the names Gilbert Coats, J. M. Colburn, David Colburn,

One on Congress embossed S. A. Colley on front and ? ? Wilbur on back
One to Orlando R Wilbur Esq
One to brother and sisters in 1843 that has Ellington on the top

And a few dozen that I have no idea who they are to or from.
Also I have a land patent that has Joseph Wilber as owner

Also does the name Holcomb mean anything to you?
I see that name along with Wilbur and Griffee often in Boone Iowa.

When I get some time I will scan them and send them to you.

Re: Wilburs in Californiia

Rhythm2NYC — 2011-09-01 15:21:10Z

Hi Elizabeth,
William Elbert Wilbur, Sr's father was William John Wilbur (born 1857, not sure if he was adopted). His (WEW, Sr) mother was Emily Wilbur b 1857 also (maiden name Wilbur, her dad was Alfred Rufus Wilbur b 1828 and her mom was Francis (?Hubbard)). Both William John Wilbur and Emily Wilbur are found in San Bernadino County census's 1910 and 1920. At the time, their oldest daughter Francis lived with them (WEW Sr's oldest sister). A great book about the New Brunswick family history is "Ye Wilbores All" by M. Verne MacDonald and Maxwell M. MacDonald.
Sabrina (PS Jack Wilbur was my dad's older brother-WEW Sr remarried Meta Schmidt after Nellie Lindley died and had 2 more children)

Virginia Wilbur

jcjsking — 2011-07-03 02:49:45Z

Doing some internet research on Cuba I came upon this New York Times June 28, 1922 article which I thought might be of interest to a Wilbur family member.

Headline: American Girl At Sea Lands Here British

The article is about the at sea wedding of Virginia Wilbur to a British citizen Charles A Wainright. She was a nurse and he was an engineer for the United Fruit Company in Preston Cuba.

Re: DWIGHT LOCKE WILBUR

M_Wilbur77 — 2011-05-21 23:43:41Z

I have a copy of the Trail Tales too from Boonsboro (Boone) Iowa. It does have a great deal of information about Dwight, Edna and their children: Curtis, Louise, Bertha, Ray, Celia and Theresa Wilbur. As well as Dwight's sister Julia Wilbur Griffee and parents: Joseph Cephus Wilbur and Clarinda Colburn.

Re: DWIGHT LOCKE WILBUR

stc2581 — 2011-05-21 23:28:13Z

If memory serves I may also have a issue of Trail Tales which was published in Boone Iowa in the 1800’s that has a article about Dwight. Seems I recall he was a doctor or something of the sort. I will look and see if I can find that also and copy it. The only reason I have this picture is that my grandfather collected stamps and there is a stamp on the back of the picture.

Re: DWIGHT LOCKE WILBUR

I have looked in the 2 places where I have all my papers and am unable to locate them. My mother put them in acid free clear folders so I am thinking she may still have them. I will keep looking and when they turn up I will send them to you.

Re: DWIGHT LOCKE WILBUR

M_Wilbur77 — 2011-04-27 18:22:22Z

Good to hear from you. I have a couple of his handwritten letters and they are very difficult to read. by comparison , his wife Edna, had very good handwriting.

Thank you for writing!

Re: DWIGHT LOCKE WILBUR

stc25811 — 2011-04-27 17:25:31Z

I will have to look and see if I still have them. My mother took them to try to transcribe them as they are hard to read. I will make copies and send them to you when I get a chance..

Re: William or Horace Wilbur & Veronica Frances Gurchiek Indiana & Michigan

DebbyNorris — 2011-04-05 05:44:40Z

Seeking information on them or their son Billy born bet 1930 and 1940. I can't seem to find them in census, birth or death records. I have photos of the whole family...

Jennie V. (Martense) Wilbur and Anna M. Wilbur

erniem — 2010-12-18 18:07:38Z

In a flea market today, I found an old photo of 4 generations of women. Further research indicates that they were from Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY. Their names and info I've found about them:

- Ann (Schenck) Ditmas, b. 9/16/1799 (she was the wife of Henry S. Ditmas, who owned the old Ditmas homestead in Flatbush)

- Jane Ann (Ditmas) Martense, her daughter, b. 1820, wife of Gerret Martense

- Jennie V. (Martense) Wilbur, her grand-daughter, b. February 1846, wife of Lionel Wilbur

- Anna M. Wilbur, her great grand-daughter, b. August 1875.

This photo dates from the 1880's, based on the ages of the women, my best guess is around 1885 or so. If anyone is related to any of these women, contact me and I will send a scan of the photo, which is one of those photos of cardboard thickness.

Wilbur family of Franklin Co. Maine

jacksonmarch — 2010-06-27 23:15:35Z

I believe that my gr. great Grandmother was a Mary Wilbur who was the first wife of Josiah Mooers of Madrid, Maine. Her parents were Henry and Elizabeth Wilbur who were in the 1850 census as living in Madrid, Maine. My great grandfather, Daniel Moores at age 15, was living with the Wilburs. They had two other residents in their home, obviously their chilren Elizabeth Wilbur, age 17, and Daniel Wilbur, age 20. Daniel Moores was the son of their daughter, Mary. Does anyone have any information about this family?

I have other materials as well, such as photos and letters, but have not studied them. I would like to find an interested person to deliver the material to because, though I am interested, I know I will never take the time to delve it!

Good news! I found your family in the Wildbore books! I'll send you my email address so you can send me your land address. It may take me a few days to copy the information. I will be sure to include the title pages, etc. Do you want all the information? The line is traced back several generations, and some of Phoebe's siblings are traced forward.
