Linda,
I posted a long message and lost it in cyberspace...Should it reappear, it will be mostly a repeat of what I am writing now.
The Wilburns of Balitmore Co MD lived in Chester Co PA before 1710.And they were allied with Whitakers and Crabtrees...The Crabtrees were also from Chester Co PA.
It seems very logical that the Whitakers would also be from Chester Co PA.
These Wilburn and their kinlater settled in Orange Co NC 1753 and later in Rowan Co NC and later still in Lee and Russell Co Va...Some of the Wilburns also settled into Montgomery/giles, Va c 1780.Other Whitaker and Wilburn marriages can be found in Giles, VA...and this is just for starters.
I have learned that if one cannot find wills and marriage bonds,(because they no longer exist)allied familes are also just proof.And this is what you have done.
Cheers to you.
