Wilbourn-Key Connection - Edgefield SC
I am searching for the maiden name of my ancestor, Elizabeth Ann Wilbourn. We don't know a lot about Elizabeth except that she was born about 1800 and married Champion Wilbourn about 1815. Betsyann (Elizabeth Ann) is mentioned in the will of her father-in-law William Wilbourn in 1828 in Edgefield County SC as guardian of Champion's children. She is the head of family on the 1830 Edgefield SC Census with three children, two boys and a girl. Listed on the same page (143A) is Tandy M. Key near enough to Elizabeth's age that they could be brother and sister.
I next have Elizabeth on the 1840 Claiborne Parish LA Census, p. 96, as head of household with 3 children. Again she is listed with Tandy A. Key and William Key on the same page. The ages are similar enought to make them all three brothers and sister.
I also have the church minutes from Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church in Claiborne Parish LA dated August 5, 1837. On that day the following people were admitted to the membership: William Key, Martin W. Key, Tandy Key, Harriett Key, Elizabeth Ann Wilbourn, and her three children Saran Wilbourn, William Wilbourn and Amonet Wilbourn (my family line).
I believe that Elizabeth Ann was a Key, but have no further proof. Can anyone shed light on this information or whether Elizabeth might be a member of this family?
