Comments
Hi jennie43435. A.J.'s gravesite may be one of the unmarked. Quincey was married to my g.g. Aunt, Lavina [Gilliam] Wilburn Mullins

Hi, Thanks for your post. If this is the correct Wilburn cemetery in Gray, Knox County, KY, then there should be a gravesite for Andrew J. Wilburn, born abt. 1844 and died 26 Jul 1919 and according to his death certificate, he is buried at this cemetery. He is the father of Quincey Wilburn.
