Joan,I've wondered about the two families as well, although I haven't done any in-depth research on the Elburn/Elborn surname.I can tell you that a John ELBIN possibly arrived in Maryland in 1634, which is obviously very early in the country's history, so it could be difficult to determine which name, if either, evolved from the other.

I'd be interested to hear whatever you're able to find on the subject.Thanks!
