Tradition(or myth) has it that there was a John Welborn(Willbourne) b.1610 in England who came to America early 1620's, and settled in Maryland. The story that was passed down was that he left on the ill-fated ship "Sea Venture" and shipwrecked and was stranded in Burmuda until they built another ship to make the trip. I believed this because it was given to me and I was told it was the truth. However, none of it has been proven and it is now considered to be a figment of some woman's imagination. As far as I know, no one has proven anything about this John, even the ones who traveled to England searching records. There were some John Willbournes, but I was never able to find a link to them.
I don't want to sound pessimistic, but if I were you, I'd go to the next generation down that I had concrete evidence of and work from there. You can spin your wheels and not get anywhere if you focus on this John. Many of us on this forum, descend from Edward Willbourne born circa 1675, died circa 1731 in Baltimore Maryland. Who are some of your other ancestors around the years 1700/1800 or later?
Go back to the 1998/1999 messages on this forum and there is some discussion pertaining to John.
Good luck on your genealogy.
