Publisher's Synopsis
The primary objective of this work is to distinguish the multiple Welborns arriving in the Old Granville District of North Carolina before 1800 and to assign the Christian-named descendants to their proper families. The contents of these pages will help resolve some of the confusion of the genealogy of this relatively common North Carolina surname. Complete three-generation genealogies are not provided in all cases. Topics include: The Welborn Families, The Old Granville District, and The Family Locations; The Duplicate Given Names: The Johns, The Williams, The Isaacs, The Jameses, The Thomases, and The Samuels; Family Precis and Formal Genealogy; and, Future Research. Appendices enhance the text: The Database; References; and, Petitions and Tax Records. This study is further enriched by tables: Time Span for the Arbitrary Generation Designation 2; Family Summary Table; Old Granville Location Table; 1810 Federal Census for Randolph County; Parsing the Age Distribution of the Children of Jesse Y. and Elizabeth Welborn; and, Census Age-class Summary for Family E.; as well as charts for: The Johns, The Williams, The Isaacs, The Jameses, The Thomases, and The Samuels. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.
