GilbourneTwigs.
including Gillborn, Gilborn, Gilborne, Gilbourn, Gilburn etc
While many, perhaps most, of the names found to date have been assembled into family trees, there are still a number that remain unattached, either simply because records have not yet been researched, or original records have been lost, or even in some cases because information has been wrongly recorded - either by accident or a deliberate attempt by someone to hide their tracks. These twigs may be a single person, or a short tree, or, in one or two cases, trees containing some tens of people. They are arranged here in order of the likely tree to which they belong.

Was this the same Samuel GILLBORN, framework knitter, who became a burgess in 1759-60? This fragment, variously transcribed as TILBOURN and JILBORN, would be expected to link to the GILLBORNs in Tree 2, but is already linked to that tree via the CRAGG / EDEN line.
