Seeking info from all you Wilbanks & related famlies on Laban Wilbanks, his first wife Jemima (Jamima) and his second wife Hannah Rodden, and possiblly Laban's parents.
As I have it, Hannah (Smith)b. between 1817-1821 in TN, d. 1899 in Nashville, TN---She married James Rodden b. 1815 and he died in 1854 or 1855. She then married Laban Wilbanks in 1855. What happened to Laban's 1st wife?
According to the 1860 US Federal Census, for Jackson County, AL, Division 1, Clab Wilbanks (could "Clab" actually be C. Lab (short for Laban or Lebanon) Wilbanks, with 3 of his 8 children from his first wife, Hannah, and 2 of her 3 children from her first marriage. Jane age 13 and 'Antey' which is actually Andy (short for Alexander) age 14. Now Laban was 61 and Hanna was 39. The handwriting on this census page is absolutely difficult to read. Maybe someone out there could translate it better. Did they have any more children?
Also, in the WILBANKS-L mailing lists there was a mention that one of Laban's sons, John G. Wilbanks married Margaret Wann. They were married about 1847 and had 8 children, one of which one was Minerva Alabama Wilbanks. Minerva married John Quincy Adams Rodden, the son of Hannah Rodden (Laban's 2nd wife) To sum it all up, the mother of John Quincy Adams Rodden married the grandfather of Minerva, John Quincy's wife. Thats what I call a tight knit family!
John Quincy and Minerva (Wilbanks) Rodden are my husband's great great grandparents.
There is still alot of info I would like to have but I can not make contact with the good people who posted info in these message boards - the e-mail addresses are all invalid.
I would really like to hear from anyone with info on this family line and will be glad to share the info I have on the Roddens', Wanns' and Wilbanks'.
