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.

A large section of this family was determined through the Will of James Cleborne (which was professionally transcribed by Simon Neal), and then filled out by cross-referencing the records of the surrounding area.

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 of Henrico County, Virginia 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 Joshua Isom's research, he uncovered where the Robert Isom from the Globe was living in London, and just 1.2 miles away, he found Edward Cleborne as well. This pair, in addition to living in very close proximity, are also the correct ages to be the 'Globe' passengers. Since we know the Globe sailed from London, and this pair is living on the outskirts of London, it is a certainty that this pair found in the records are the passengers from the Globe.

Will of James Cleborne

Below is the transcription of the Will of James Cleborne, provided by Mr. Joshua Isom. The lines are preserved in the same length and order as the original document (image in references).

The Will of James Cleborne, proved 3 Dec 1625.
