Individual Details
Robert Hillary Sebourn
(Jan 1852 - 28 Apr 1940)
I hoped to find Robert in 1880 - to find the name of the first wife and a child Charles. The only Robert 'Seaborn' I could find was born in Kentucky, 1853, living in Grand River, Sedgwick, Kansas and he doesn't have a son Charles. Family trees suggest Charles was born 1887 in Mountainburg, Crawford Co, AR.

Hello, I was hoping to get more information on Nancy Jane Murdock Smith. We believe that she is the mother [a second post corrected this - she was a sister] of my great, great Grandfather. He is Robert Hillary Sebourn, married to Hannah Pense. If you have any information on Robert's parents or anything tied to Nancy, we would love to see that.

...I am Mark L. Sebourn, I live in Missouri. I am the great great grandson of Robert H. (aka) Black Bob Sebourn. His oldest son Charles H. was my great grand dad, his son Morris L. Sebourn Sr. "Bubs' was my grand dad, and his son Morris L. Sebourn Jr. "Kayo" is my dad. My branch of the family has lived in Missouri since about 1920. ...
My note: I've never found a Charles in the family of this Robert H. Sebourn. I did find a Charles Sebourn living in St Louis in 1930, age 42, b. AR, married 19 years, and he had a son Morris, age 19, b. AR. This would suggest Charles was born in 1888 which would have been prior to the marriage to Hannah Pense, but he would have been only 12 years old in 1900 and should have been living with them. In 1920, they were in St. Louis, Charles was 33, b. AR, parents b. Iowa. Sons Maurice, 9, and Charles, 6 months, b. Arkansas. In 1910, Charles, age 26 was in Crawford Co, AR and had a daughter Mary, age 1 year, 1 month, who apparently didn't survive. In 1900, Charles simply cannot be found - perhaps he was left out of the family.
