This article (I deleted some) was given to me early in my ancestral search, before I knew to document everything. I believe it's from an obit or article published shortly after her death.
Mary B. Wilburn first saw the light, January 25th, 1814; her life closed with the setting of the sun Friday evening, 23rd of March, 1900.
She was the daughter of Hugh and Sallie Jordan, one of sixteen children, and was born just across the river from where Bluff City now stands. She belonged to an old family of English origin.
She was married when in her seventeenth year to Lewis Wilburn, with whom she lived in domestic usefulness and happiness till he died in March, 1871. Her early love and that of her mature life she never forgot and she often talked of reunion with her husband as one of her brightest anticipations as she approached the better land.
Sister Wilburn was the mother of twelve children, seven daughters and five sons. Four are dead, about her dear departed she loved in her motherly way to talk. About the child, a daughter, who died happy in God, she often spoke.
She leaves a large number of relatives: 83 grand children, 63 great and 2 great-great grand children. She has left a name of which they all may well be proud to their remotest generations.
