A possible progenitor of earliest record was a british yeoman, Robert Worbenton, who on September 2, 1660 bound himself to David Warren, a mariner, to serve four years in Virginia. He left from the city of Bristol, England, where he is recorded in the manuscript volumes entitled "Servants to Foreign Plantations."
It is evident that Robert survived the potential hazards of early ocean passage between England and the colonies of New England, and his bondage on a Virginia plantation. On August 28, 1666 he was recorded as Robt Warbeton on a "List of Tithables in Northampton County, Virginia" with a count of three tithes [Source: Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. 10, "List of Tithables in Northampton County, Virginia," pg. 196]. . Four years later he married Elizabeth Smithwick, daughter of Henry “Hugh” Smithwick, I and Elizabeth Windley.
“Hugh” Smithwick arrived in Virginia, after sailing from London August 8, 1635 aboard the ship the “Globe,” William Eyers, Captain. The Smithwicks book has Hugh Smithwick as the Headright of William Eyers; and, the book Early Virginia Immigrants 1623 - 1666 , pg. 306, lists "Hugh Smithwick by William Eyers of Norfolk Co., Virginia."

In pursuing the possibilities of the Warburton and Warbington surnames being substituted for one another, Nash County, North Carolina deed books have such a situation involving one family in particular.
