Life

Alban William Willingham was born on 1 March 1835 in Coweta County, Georgia, a son of Alban W. Willingham and Bedia Herring, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 His mother died in 1840, and in 1850 the federal census listed him, as "Albain Willingham", in the household of a Harvey Willingham, which the tree places in Randolph County, Alabama.2 On 1 March 1866 he married Elizabeth P. Sewell, in a Georgia marriage record indexed under the name "Albon Wellingham"; the tree places it in Coweta County.3 The census of 1870 recorded Alban Willingham in Polk County, Georgia, with Elizabeth in his household.4 The tree names seven children born between 1867 and 1878: Earley Erastus, Sara Vera, Ollie B., Marion, Bettie Irene, Ira and Ally.5 He died in Polk County on 26 June 1878 and is buried in the Lime Branch Cemetery there, according to the tree and a Find a Grave memorial to Alban Willingham.6 His name appears, more or less mangled, in the later records of his family: as "Albaum" in his widow's Georgia death record of 1928, as Alban in his son Ira's of 1941, and as "Alburn" in the Social Security file of his daughter Irene.7 His son Ollie's Georgia death record of 1925 is attached to his profile too, but the index gives the father as "R. Willingham".8
