The Wiburn/Welborn/Wilbourn ‘s came out of Goochland in the 1730s, turning up in Orange & Albermarle briefly in the 1740s and then in S.W. Va for a long time – Wythe & Tazwell Co’s, with later descendants sliding into Russell, Wise & Lee before going to Carter & Bath Co’s Ky. Richard Wilburn/Wilbourn, b.1720s, d. 1820s (104 yrs old or so) in Highland Co., Oh., was the brother of Thomas Gibson, a.k.a. Wilburn, of the 1740s Goochland and Orange Co. Their descendants moved to SW Va and some to SC very early who then moved back into NC, including Granville Co, before settling in Hawkins and Claiborne Co’s Tenn and some then reunite with the larger group in Ky. Their family story claims Cherokee, but with this pattern, they obviously weren’t originally.
This is my Beasley family below. Does anyone connect to them?

Sarah Beasley b. 1786 in Robeson, NC d. 1855 Coffee Cty AL married to Britton Adkinson
her father Daniel Beasley d 1829 Richmond Cty, NC.
No, I don’t think I do.
Is this the Daniel Beasley listed in “Everton’s Root’s Cellar” as b. abt. 1765 NC ? I have some census data on him for 1790, 1800 and 1820 (prob. 1810, too, if I dig into my ‘pile’ deeper !) – need that? Daniel, d.1829 Richmond Co., NC, turned up on a Will Index there, too, altho I don’t have a copy of it.
Bill
I posted all the information on him I had Bill. I would love to look at what ever you have found on him.

……
1830 Richmond Co., NC – No Beasleys there of any spelling.
There is a Will out there for Daniel Beasley, d.1829, Richmond Co., NC.- don’t have a copy of it.
The earliest Beasley found in NC was Robert Beasley, warrant for 300 acres for transportation of 6 persons, 13 Mar. 1693/4, (then Albermarle Co., NC – which was abolished in 1739).
Persons transported: Robert Beasley, Sarah Beasley his wife, James Beasley, Johana Beasley, Rich. Cheston(e), Sarah Cheston(e).
p.23 of Warrants and Surveys: Survey & Return for Robert Beasley, 282 acres, 10 April 1694, on Perquimans River. (Remaining 18 acres + more acres to him on 1 June 1694, when he transported William Lacy, James Hunter, Elizabeth Randolph and Mary, a negro.) (Source: “North Carolina Headrights: A List, 1663-1744”, which contains compilations of State of North Carolina Records by various compilers.)
An association between Robert Beasley and John Cheston(e) (who arrived the previous year) shown by several Warrant transfers of Land and Headright assignments on Perquimans River in this time period.

I am not to good at using this forum. I wish I could
email back and forth on the yahoo list.
Bill I just found your post to me on the Beasley
family. I thank you for this information.
I will get back today and see if I can find it again…grin.
I am going to try and copy it while I have it now.
I have been working some on my website and
have a lot of research links added. I have
started to try and group the links by state.
I have not been working on it lately I have
had another family crisis and have almost
lost my mind on this one. I am slowly trying
to get my head above water again.

Skydancer, look at the bottom of the window where you enter your post. There’s an option to be notified by email when someone answers your posts. If you’ll check that, you won’t miss any posts to that thread.
Ken says: “My Sarah was born 1823 or 1824……. that would suggest that she married William Penn Satterfield about 1844. Robert Beasley married Nancy Satterfield…… sister to William Penn
So Robert quite likely was Sarah’s father……. he had land in Person co prior to 1835 based on sale info……. and he probably married William Penn’s older sister as his second wife…… but she’s not Sarah’s mother.
I’m gonna try to map out where some of these farms were in relation to each other…… Robert Beasley’s land is several miles east of Moriah. I’ve just located some maps from 1700s and 1800s with creek names and mill and church locations. I’ll play with that this winter. “
Becky and I were guided by a distant cousin to the John Isaac Satterfield homeplace and cemetery this afternoon….. this is a large cemetery typical of a 1700s plantation. Within a massive rock wall are William Penn Satterfield and Sarah Beasley Satterfield along with his parents, James Satterfield (1776-1859) and Elizabeth Trotter and his parents, John Isaac Satterfield (died 1802) and Lucy. John is the original settler who received the land grant from Lord Granville.
Outside the wall are Moores and others from the plantation… about 50 graves total. Separated from this cemetery by 100 ft is a slave cemetery of about 25 graves. The whole area is covered with thick periwinkle and guarded by the most massive poplar that I have ever seen. 3 adults cannot join hands around this tree. Truly an awesome discovery of ancesters. A very good day 😉 This cemetery was in use from 1760 to 1882, and has been abandoned since then.

Ken,
Here are some of those people from the 1755 Orange Co., NC Tax List and the number of tithables for each:
Joseph TROTTER, 1.
Henry BEESLY, 1. (same as Beasley)
John SATTERFIELD, Senr., 1. (just after Robert & Samuel Bumpas)
John SATTERFIELD, Junr., 1. (next door to John Senr.)
James SATTERFIELD & Son, 2. (11 ‘visits’ after John Junr.)
……………..
Bill
Bill and Ken….I noticed that there was a Philpot as a neighbor to the Beasleys…wonder if it is any relation to Mary Philpot that married Squire Meadows? Just a thought….

Dreaminghawk,
Robert Beasley was the only Beasley in Person Co in 1840 and 1850. Since your Sarah marr’d Wm.P. Satterfield in 1843, she may be Robert’s dau (see below).
In 1850, he’s 55, b.NC, & marr’d to “Nancy, 35, NC” with children Mary E., 4; Harriett S., 3.
Next door to Robert in 1850, is:
John F. Beasley, 23, NC; with Alice, 20, NC; Otho (?), 2, male, NC.
In 1840, the oldest female in Robert’s household is in her 30s, so Nancy is probably his 2nd wife.
Robert and John Beasley’s 1850 neighbors include:
John Hicks, 74.
Levi Hicks, 34.
Nathan Oakley, 35.
Major Davis, 54.
John Bumpass, 59. (wife Nancy, 46, and dau Nancy, 23 + 8 more kids.)
Standford Bumpass, 37.
William Philpot, 60.
John Curtis, 32. (wife Martha, 23; with Major BASS, 17, & Abram BASS, 10, living with them.)
Barnett Oakley, 39.
Susan Moore, 86.
John Davis, 33.
David Hughs, 24.
Michael Cash, 70.
Matthew Howel, 29.
John Bumpass, 21.
William E. Oakley, 45.
Sterling Oakley, 42.
Dempsey Brooks, 58.
Robert Harris, 45.
William H. Morgan, 39.
Sarah Turner, 40.
Nicholson (?) Jones, 50.

Bill here is the post…
William Philpott was 60 in 1850 so born around 1790.
From her tombstone, Mary (Philpott) / wife of / Squire Meadows / Jan 28, 1809 / – – 1872 / so William would be around 19 when she was born…….. the age and location is right.
Ken,
Can anyone imagine, how crazy this cousin thing gets!? Your PHILPOTs, and quite a few more (time frame & geographically) are factually & in all probability, related thru direct and collateral lines, to half of the people on this forum, including yours’-white-haired- truely; but it was two hundred years ago, plus, so you don’t hav’ta be insulted by any of this 🙂
Lot’s of work to do here, Brother, but it’s pretty clear. I don’t even think this server (or my head) can handle all the Trees that this encompasses.
Very sobering,
Bill
