I don't know if my line of Welborns comes from General Wellborn, but I will give you the information I have and see if it rings a bell with anyone. My father is Thomas Henry Welborn, Jr. He was born in Wilkes County, NC in 1924. His father was Thomas Henry Welborn, Sr. He was born sometime around 1880. His father was Thomas Vestal Welborn, but at this time I do not have dates of his birth or death. My father's mother was Lela Jeanette Myers. Her father was John Clinton Myers, a Baptist preacher in the area. Their neighbor in Pea Ridge(in Wilkes County) was Curtis Welborn, although they were not related. Many of the Welborn family are buried in Temple Hill Baptist Church Cemetery. Also my father has a cousin living in Wilkes County at this time, Edgar Welborn. I believe his father's name was John and he would be the brother of my grandfather Thomas Welborn, Sr. I hope some of this information is helpful to you.
