Hi from San Diego...Mary Margaret is first cousin to my Aunt Ruth Wilburn Beanblossen who at 91 is still living in Harrison co IN...
I remember my Uncle Charlie Wilburn (1905-1999) telling me about Ira Amy your great grandfather...Apparently he liked the old fellow a bit...I have no Amy kin...But my great-grandfather, Nelson thomas wilburn first wife was margaret Amy and she died leaving one son, Lewis Wilburn who was half brother to my grandfather, John thomas wilburn...
Lewis Wilburn (1868-1913) as you know was the father of Mary Margaret Wilburn McMonigle and her sister Nora Wilburn Arnold...and I believe there were two brothers..Joe and someone else...whose name I have forgotten...
I also learned that the Amys and McAdams married...Harvey Wilburn brother to my great-grandfather Nelson wilburn was married to Mahelia McAdams...I understand that her mother was an Amy...
I would love to have some of your Amy history and will be happy to share more of my Wilburn line...I can take my Wilburns back to colonial VA....
Above all, thanks for letting me know about Mary Margaret passing...My Aunt used to keep me up on family history but in recent years she has had health problems...
How are you related to Mary Margaret and her family?
Thanks so very much for writing.
I look forward to hearing from you again..
Vikky Wilburn Anders
ps
I spoke with Mary Margaret about 6 years ago via long distance...
