Hi Holly,
And again, many thanks....I do appreciate all your help...most sincerely.
See, here is what I do not understand...
Thomas Welborn of Accomac, Va m to Arcadia Taft is reportedly the father of Samuel Welborn who m Mary Chapley.
How does this Thomas who died in Accomac, VAconnect to the Welborns of Baltimore co MD who had descendants starting with Wm Welborn and Ann Crabtree Welborn who settled into Rowan co NC and had a Chapley Welborn in their line?
In other words...We have one Samuel Welborn and his wife Mary CHAPLEY Welborn and their son Thomas who settled into Guliford Co NC....
Then we have a family of Welborns who also have a CHAPLEY Welborn in their line. BUT they are NOT descendants of Samuel and Mary CHAPLEY Welborn...
Which begs the question (in my mind anyhow)how are these two Welborn families related?Are they related????
Its hard for me to acceptthat a Welborn family who had NO Chapley kin would name a son Chapley....So I'm thinking that this given name Chapley has to be connected to some Chapley kin.
See, this is what has puzzled me for a long time now.
What I would really like to know is how it has been determined that Samuel Welborn was the son of Thomas Welborn of Accomac, VA and the same Samuel Welborn who married Mary Chapley....NO doubt someone has some evidence that this is the case...and I would love to learn what that evidence is.
Holly, I don't wish to take anymore of your time...But if you know this answer, I would love to hear back from you.
Cheers and more,
Vikky
