Ancestry.com correspondence

Seems we may have corresponded in the past, at least I did with someone in Hunt Co., TX. I have information on John Brooks Milbourn, his brother George Brooks, Henry and sister,Mary
They were all in the 1870 census of Lee County, Virginia. Henry went to Butler County, Kansas in 1878. John Brooks and George Brooks went to Hunt County, TX soon after the census.
George Brooks then went to Butler County, Kansas in 1886. His wife, Lavina Orr is buried there in the Donelton Cemetery southeast of Greenville. His son, Millard is buried there along with some McElroy's of Lee County.
Sarah Baumgardner Milbourn, wife of John Brooks was in her parents home in the 1880 census of Lee so presumbably John Brooks died while in Texas but I have been unable to locate his grave.
I need to brush up a little on the Milbourn family as I can see I don't have all the answers to the problem. I'll keep looking.
Will await your reply.

John

Yes, we did correspond and you graciously sent me a picture of Andrew Milbourn

I found John M in the tax rolls in 187? in Hunt County. Two of their daughters married here. One is buried in Long Cemetery in Miller Grove (Hopkins Co.). Family history has it that both John and Sarah are buried there also. Sarah came back to Hunt County and was living with her daughter Emily Catherine Stewart in the 1910 census. I can't find a death certificate for either of them; no luck at the funeral homes either. I posted the query on the off chance Sarah might have gone back to VA after Emily died in 1911. I even checked marriage licenses in case she remarried after 1910 (age 73!!!)

Thanks for responding.

Letter from John DeWitt on Ancestry.com

Joyce:

Read your interesting note on the Farley-Milbourn familiies. I am from the Milbourn side and have good info back to my old William Milbourn in Washington Co., VA and Sullivan County, TN. He was born, according to an 1810 census of Wash. Co. between 765-84, in VA. I doubt him being born in VA as everyone in Wash Co. seemed to have been born there. I think the Milbourn's were from New York.
William married Mary Stevens and had four children who lived to be adults. Anny, Andrew M., Henry and Richard.
Andrew was born in 1802 and Married Elizabeth Brooks first and then Christina Shutters.
The John Milbourn that you mention who was born in 1833 in Washington Co and mar Sarah Jane Baumgardner was the son of my g g grandfather, Andrew M. Milbourn who moved to Lee in 1838. John Brooks had children, Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Hettie, Christena, Henry, Emily Catherine and Martha. John and Sarah Moved to Hunt Co., Tx in abt 1872 and John Brooks died in TX a little after that.
Champ Farley born in 1848 mar Christena Milbourn, daughter of Andrew M. and Christena Milbourn and they had 8 children.
A. L. Stewart mar Emily Milbourn and Sarah B. Milbourn lived with them some and they were in Hunt Co. some. I have corresponded lately with a Stewart family in Hunt.
I am hung up on my old William. All I know is that the was in those two counties from about 1785-1830. I trace from him through Andrew M., George Brooks, John McElroy, Shirley David to John D. Milbourn. Have a lot to share with someone. I would like to have the address of Sammy. Thanks for contributing to the Milbourn family.

Updates like this one are never a comfortable thing to do, but are necessary. We
lost an important part of the Kuntz family with the passing of Ruth (Kuntz)
Kirschbaum recently. She is missed by everyone whose lives she touched.
