> Notes for Joseph REYBURN: He sailed from Liverpool to Virginia on August
27, 1698. . At an unknown date prior to 1698, his parents, himself and
possibly other children sailed from an unknown port in Ireland, bound for an
unknown
> port in England where they were going to board another ship for America.
During the voyage, the ship sank and the entire family except Joseph was
lost. His age at that time is not known. Then, in 1698, he is listed as
being from
> Waser, in Staffordshire, near the west coast of England and is apprenticed
to Bryan Blundell as a shoemaker for 5 years making him 16 years old at that
time. If he had relatives in Waser or if this orphaned boy was taken in by
some

> First Rayburn to come to America, was born in England in 1682. His
ancestors first came from Scotland, and then from Ireland. He sailed from
Staffordshire, England and landed in Augusta, County, Virginia, in 1698. To
secure his
> passage, he came as a "bound" servant, bound out to the Sea Captain whose
name was Bryan Blundell. As all emigrants had to have a trade, he gave his
trade as a shoemaker. He acquired land in Augusta County, Virginia,
married, and

James and Angy. [From Family History of Rabourn-Ruggles Families)

> The next date where I find a Joseph is 1755, Mar 24, when he is named
executor of the will of John Nickel. Also in 1755, July 5, a Joseph attested
to the transfer of land from Joseph Wright to Thomas Weddell. This could
very well

(reference New England historical & genealogical Register, Volume 64, pages
158 - 161) Shoemaker apprentice to Mr. Bryan Blundell in Virginia for 5
years
> (age 16) as was usual the case in those days all boys were apprenticed to
learn a trade, after which he was a free man with a trade. He married 1703 -
1710 in Pennsylvania to Margaret Courtney.

> Quote from letter Parke Jones to Mrs. Wm F. Nienstedt dated 1 March 1981 -
"There are many different Rayburns in America, and many different clans, who
are descendants of many immigrant ancestors in their own right, so we all
are
> not descendants of one ancestor. There was an Anthony Resburne in
Virginia as early as 1635. Whether he was a Rayburn or not, I am not sure.
There was a Richard Raibone in Henrico Co. Virginia, circa 1650, who never
married but he

children and was denied a pension from her unlawful husband when he died,
and I am sure he was not of the Scoth Rayburns from Scotland or North
Ireland...."

> Quote from letter Parke Jones to E. D. Rayburn dated 8 Sept 1981 - "We
find a Richard Rabun-(Rayburn?) living in Henrico Co. VA as early as 1650
but here again I am positive he was of that "Rabun" branch who spread all
along the

Carolinas, then to Georgia, Florida, and over in to Alabama, Mississippi and
