Hello,
In looking for Elijah Wellborn's parents you may just make yourself happy if you look at William Welborn, Jr./Hephzibah Stearns/Starnesson William Welborn, III and his wife Mary in Franklin Co., GA.
Their children went to TN and then back to GA and points west.Also some of William's brothers went to Bedford Co., TN and left records there that are refered to in the Houston Co., GA records and some of the Franklin or Wilkes Co., records.
This will get you back.For your information the reason I write Hephzibah Stearns/Starnesname that way is that it is Stearns pronounced Starnes and has come down in the spelling of the descendants as Starnes but in order to preserve the original spelling of her parents we need to write it this way for future researchers.
Might also mention that the Booths areneighbors to the Wilbourns in Old Frederick Co., VA/Berkley Co., WVA.Caleb and his brother.Signed some of the deeds I have.
Chapley is also shortened from Chapline.
