Clebornes of Essex & Hertfordshire
The Clebornes of Essex and Hertfordshire are a newly discovered branch of the family (as of May 2022) and the initial discovery is credited to Joshua Isom, who has been searching his biological Cleburne ancestor. In doing so, he has unraveled a big piece of this mystery, which I have expanded upon using the other available documents and records.
Context & Background
It has been known for some time that some people with the Isom surname are a perfect genetic match to the Westmorland Y-DNA profile. This can only be true if an Isom son was fathered by a Cleburne or Westmorland or if a Cleburne of Westmorland son was adopted by an Isom. In exploring this connection it was discovered that the American Isom ancestor for this haplogroup arrived on the vessel 'Globe' of London, 1635. On board that same ship was Edward Cleiborne. It cannot be coincidence that two people with identical DNA but different surnames happen to arrive on the same ship. This postulated the idea that these two knew of each other.
Clayborn genealogists had been attempting to connect Edward directly to Westmorland, since we know the DNA is match to that family. Some genealogists have made some assumptions in this area and connected certain Edwards listed in the Westmorland Parish Registers as being one and the same, despite tenuous evidence. We now know that this is not the case. Thanks to
