Son of Colonel James Welborn, Jr., and Rebecca Younger; husband of Lucy Stephenson. This stone is a memorial, not a grave marker. It is in the parking lot against the side of the church building. Note the discrepancy in birth date between what is on the stone and the date on this page, the latter presumably being the correct one, having been provided by Sonya B. and Dave W. Eason. They also provided his place of burial (Duckworth Family Cemetery in Hamburg, Ashley County, Arkansas, his places of birth and death, the names of his parents and spouse, and the following excerpt from Welborns & Related Families with Roots in North & South Carolina, by Gene Welborn, 1994, p. 45:

Aaron Welborn was the first Welborn to go to Jones County, Mississippi. He was a veteran of the War of 1812. Aaron and Lucy must have gone to Mississippi immediately after marrying as he seems to have been well established in his home on Edihoma Creek, in the northwestern part of Jones County in 1820. As many of his predecessors had done, he located his home near the Old Trace Road, fromNatchez to Mobile. All of his children were born in Mississippi. The Welborns were staunch Baptists, Aaron being a charter member of Antioch Baptist Church near Gitano, Mississippi.
Savilla Welborn, eldest daughter of Aaron and Lucy married William Younger Duckworth and moved to Ashley County, Arkansas. When news came that the Duckworth family had yellow fever, Aaron, his youngest daughter Nancy Virginia "Jenny", and youngest son, Cicero, went to their aid. Savilla died and Aaron and Cicero also contracted the fever and died in September 1858. Jenny remained with the Duckworth family and in 1859 married her brother-in-law, William Younger Duckworth.
During the WAR OF 1812, Aaron Welborn served as a Sergeant in Capt. Jacob Reed's Company, Col. William Austin's Regiment of S.C. Militia, Jan 1, 1815 through April 1, 1815.
