Francis Gunter Dykes Welborn b. 1838/40 was my 2nd great grandaunt on the Gunter side and her husband George Washington Dykes was my 2nd great grand uncle on the Dykes side. (Her sister Permelius Gunter m. his brother Benjamin Franklin Dykes; were my 2nd great grandparents).

Anyway, after George W. Dykes was killed in 1862 in the civil war, she married G.M. Welborn. She had daughters Elizabeth b. 1859 and Matilda b. 1863, her being pregnant at the time of George's death. I have her husband listed as G.M. Welborn, and you have him listed as Younger Welborn. I do not know where my uncle came up with the name G.M.; but he has been researching our genealogy for over twenty years and that is the information that was given to me.

To clear up the post you have on GenForum 7/19/1998; Martha Dykes was the mother of George Washington Dykes, and Cinthia (Cynthia) was his sister.
I am not exactly sure who Sara E. Dykes is, I have a Sarah Ann Dykes who m. ??Scott. I have found more children that Martha Dykes and her husband Benjamin had than we had orginally found, so Sarah may be Martha's daughter. I would definitely like to make a connection there. Sarah and Francis were not sisters, but more likely sister-in-laws. I really would like to know what Francis' husbands actual name was. Also any decendents who are interested or may have information on the Gunter side.

Here are other Welborns in my tree.

Saravilly(?) Welborn m. Fletcher Jones b. est. 1840-1845 son of John Jones and Sarah Barefield

James Lawerence Welborn m. Tobitha Welch b. 4/1/1826 d. 9/1899 daughter of Bryant Welch and Sabra (Sally) Martin (I think I have alot of info on these)

Alonzo Welborn b. 1872 m. Candice I. Dykes b. 2/9/1886 d. 4/8/1951 daughter of George Allen Dykes and Mary Marzillia Jones

Their children are:
Orion Herman Welborn b. 10/16/1905 d. 10/2/1976
Oree Gorman Welborn b. 6/22/1908 d. 4/22/1962
George Evan Welborn b. 4/17/1910 d. 3/9/1971
Gauis Hilton b. ??

Jane Welborn 2nd wife of Millard Filmore Valentine b. 5/21/1853 d. 7/13/1943
Millard's first wife was (Amanda) Ellen Dykes daughter of Benjamin F. Dykes and Permeluis Gunter Dykes (sister to Francis).

Martha Dykes, she died in 1862, so I find it interesting that you found her on the 1860 census of Jones co. She is buried in Covington Co. next to Tabitha and Jesse Geiger/Gieger, in some woods that are grown over.

She must have either lived on the edge of Jones Co. or she went and stayed with another daughter we found Eleanor Jane who married Tabitha and Jesse's son Zacariah Geiger. Martha's maiden name was Geiger.

I don't mean to rattle on with all this other info, but the Geiger's, Dykes, Welborn, Jones, Gunter, Welch and also the Ishee's are so intertwined.

If you can make any sense of this I would appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks!!
