his wife Ann shown as daughter of Thomas Bradford of Doncaster. This has been proven to not be true.

Debunks the claim by Savage in his Genealogical Dictionary that Samuel's wife was Ann BRADFORD. Gives marriage record of Samuel WILBORE and Ann SMITH at Sible Hedingham in 1620.

also: Some records show:

(II) William Wilbur, son of Samuel Wildbore, was born in 1630, and died 1710. He married Martha ____, in 1653. He settled at Little Compton, Rhode Island, about 1654, and died at Tiverton, Rhode Island. Children: Mary, born 1654; Joseph, born 1656; John, 1658; Thomas, 1659; William, December, 1660; Martha, 1662; Samuel, 1664; Daniel, 1666, mentioned below; Joan, 1668; Benjamin, 1670...

From here on (to p. 933) the book traces the line from (II) William to (IX) Thomas J. WILBUR, born 3 Nov 1873 in Hamilton Co., NY. The problem is that Samuel WILBORE's son, William, was born in 1626, not 1630, and he died in infancy. Samuel had no surviving son named, William.

----
As a youngster, Wilbur and his two surviving brothers, Joseph and Shadrach, sailed to New England with their parents, settling in Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, where his father was made a freeman in March 1633. The Wilbur's stay in Boston lasted only a few years, because Wilbur's father became a supporter of the dissident ministers Anne Hutchinson and John Wheelwright, and was banished from the Massachusetts colony in 1638, joining many others in establishing the settlement of Portsmouth on Aquidneck Island in the Narragansett Bay, later a part of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.[2]

The date of his death has not been well established. Austin gives his death date as being about 1679, shortly following the writing of his will,[2] but B. F. Wilbour writes (without citing any references) that he died in 1697 in Taunton, Massachusetts, where his two brothers lived.[4]

From his Bible:

In a sketch written by Miss Malvina Forman (dau of David):
"My dear father was born in New Jersey, Nov 3 1745. His parents were Joseph Forman and Elizabeth Lee. His father was a wealth shipping merchant of New York, afterwards retired from business, and settled on one of his farms in Monmouth Co, N.J. My father was educated at Princeton College; my mother was born Maryland, Dec 3, 1751. On the 28th of Feb, 1767, my father was married to Miss Ann Marsh (daughter of Thomas Marsh, Esq. of Maryland) by the Rev. William Tennent In consequence of my grandmother's death (Mrs. Thomas Marsh), my parents were married in Princeton, at the house of Ezekiel Forman, Esq, the elder brother of my father, who married my mother's elder and only sister. I think my father left Monmouth, where he resided during the Revolution, on the 5th of February, 1794, and removed to Chestertown, Md. Gen. Forman left his own house in Chestertown, Sep 10, 1796 in order to attend to a large landed estate which he owned at Natchez, Miss."
