Sir John Wimberly, Sr. - Merg & GEDCOM Issue

Judith "Judi" Elaine (McKee) Burns

Did what I could based on FamilySearch profiles, which are not necessarily correct. But conflicts are eliminated and there’s a birth record for John Wimberly, Sr. That should give you a start.

FamilySearch at https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/4:1:MTM1-D1G to scrutinize their tree.

Judi and Erica, You might be interested in the Wimberly Family History webpage.

Ah ha! Here’s where the England origin was so confusing. It’s different possible origins smooshed together.

So, guys, select one (best estimate) or none (as in we don’t know). I’m not making the choice for descendants.

There are three possible candidates for the honor of bringing the Wimberly surname to America. The candidates are:

1. John Wimberley of South Witham, born 1635, the son of William Wimberley, Ironmonger of London, and his second wife, Susanna Kay and his older half-brother,

2. William Wimberley of South Witham, born 1613, the son of William Wimberley, Ironmonger of London, and his first wife, Frances Percival, and

3. John Wimberley of Pinchbeck, born 1634, the son of John Wimberley and Frances Welby of Pinchbeck.

Well, actually I agree with this:

8. Many Wimberly researchers feel this "John" is the one who immigrated to Virginia. I don't believe it. I believe from the evidence available it was "John from London" who immigrated to Virginia and this "John from Pinchbeck" died of old age in Pinchbeck with his family.

Thanks Erica that looksmuch better than was
