Jefferson Wilbur
M, ID# 126, (1827 - 1918)
| Father* | Alanson Wilbur b. 29 Jul 1796, d. 21 Nov 1859 |
| Mother* | Sally Moore b. 18 Jul 1794, d. 18 Apr 1874 |
Jefferson Wilbur was born on 4 May 1827 in Sand Lake, Rensselaer, New York.1,2,3,4 He was the son of Alanson Wilbur and Sally Moore.
Jefferson Wilbur was probably included as a white male, age under 4, in Alanson Wilbur's household on the 1830 Census enumerated in Sand Lake, Rensselaer, New York.5 Jefferson was an Erie Canal boat captain before 1849 in New York , according to family lore.6
On 1 January 1849, Jefferson Wilbur married Elizabeth Ann Trim, daughter of Ebenezer Trim and Mary Elizabeth Eisenlord, in Elmira, Chemung County, New York.7,6
Jefferson Wilbur appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of in Lyons, Wayne County, New York in the household of his parents, Alanson Wilbur and Sally Wilbur, as well as his wife, Ann and their daughter, Elmira. The Census, reporting his occupation as a farmer.8
On the 1855 Illinois State Census enumerated in Spring, Boone County, Jefferson Wilbur was listed as the head of a family. Based on ages, it is possible the following were also living in the household, Ida Wilbur, a white female, age newborn to 4 years old, Elmira Eisenlord "Myra" Wilbur, a white female, age five to nine years old, Ann Wilbur, a white female, age twenty to twenty-nine years old.9
Jefferson Wilbur was mentioned in the will of Alanson Wilbur filed on 21 November 1859 in Belvidere, Boone, Illinois. The will also mentions: Harrison M. Wilbur, Laura Reynolds, Harriet M. Burch, Sally Wilbur and Stephen Van Rensselaer Wilbur.10 Jefferson belonged to the Mason in Ponca, Dixon County, Nebraska.2
On 9 July 1860, Jefferson and Ann left Bonus, Boone County, Illinois and migrated to Ponca, Dixon, Nebraska. Accompaning them were Fred Elmer Wilbur, Clara Wilbur, Elmira Eisenlord "Myra" Wilbur and Ida Wilbur. They came in an oxen drawn covered wagon. Because of the value that Jefferson placed on education he chose land in Ponca, even though the acreage cost $7.00 an acre vs $1.25 an acre for Government land, in order for his children would be able to attend school. The School in Ponca was the only school that was near the property. The fact that the family left in July 1860 could be the reason that his family is not found on the census of 1860. They may have been missed by the census taker in both Illinois and Nebraska.11
The following is taken from Andreas' History of Nebraska:
THE INDIANS.
Previous to the advent of the white settlers there in 1856, Dixon County was the abode of several tribes of Indians, chief among which were the Dakotas, Omahas and Poncas. The Poncas were the most numerous of these three tribes. Their principal village was near the present location of Ponca, the county seat. The principal village of the Omahas was near the "lone tree," a few miles above the mouth of Dailey Creek. These Indians tribes had frequent battles with each other, sometimes resulting in great slaughter. In one of these savage conflicts between the Omahas and Poncas, which occurred about a mile north of Ponca, near the Missouri, the Omahas, who were on a raid, were led into an ambush and defeated with great slaughter, almost every one of the raiding forty being slain.
At the time of the settlement of the county, the Indians had become so reduced in numbers and ferocity, as not to be particularly dangerous. They were generally peaceable, except when their courage and animosity were quickened and strengthened by alcohol. Still it was not considered safe for the white intruder to go unarmed about his work, or to leave his wife and children unarmed at home. Numerous "scares" occurred, the Indians seeming particularly to enjoy this kind of amusement. As late as 1864, eight years after the settlement of the county, a marauding band of Sioux stole some horses belonging to different individuals, among them Father Ryan, of Dakota County. In passing through Dixon County westward they were discovered and pursued by Jeff Wilbur, who now lives a short distance west of Ponca, fired upon by him when at a distance of only about thirty rods, and escaped; which good fortune they owed to the fact of Mr. Wilbur having borrowed a very poor gun. The horses were recovered, all but one, which the Indians killed, the banks of Silver Creek being too steep and muddy for the horses to cross.12
Jefferson Wilbur and Elizabeth Wilbur appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Ponca, Dixon, Nebraska, enumerated 15 July 1870, reporting Jefferson's occupation is a Farmer with Real Estate worth $2,800. Their children Fred Elmer, Clara, Ida, Frank, Charles, Minerva and Lee were listed as living with them, living near the family is Jefferson's cousin Russell Wilbur.13
Jefferson Wilbur and Eliza Ann Wilbur appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Ponca, Dixon, Nebraska, enumerated 16 June 1880 The census states that Jefferson is a Farmer. Their children Clara, Charles, Minerva and Lee were listed as living with them.14
Jefferson Wilbur and Anna Wilbur appeared on the 1885 State Census of Ponca, Dixon, Nebraska, enumerated 11 June 1885.15
Jefferson Wilbur appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Ponca, Dixon, Nebraska, enumerated 9 June 1900, reporting Jefferson as a widowed farmer.16
Jefferson Wilbur left a will filed on 23 August 1904 Ponca, Dixon, Nebraska. John Albert Wilbur was named as the executor. Fred Elmer Wilbur, Clara Wilbur, Elmira Eisenlord "Myra" Wilbur, Ida Wilbur, Frank Wilbur, Minerva Wilbur, Lee Wilbur and John Albert Wilbur were mentioned in the will.17

Jefferson told, in an article from the Dakota City Eagel, of an incident that happened a short distance from Ponca on the day they arrived in Nebraska. This incident reminded Jeff that not all was a bed of roses.
He was on a bank of a stream overlooking the city of Ponca, when he told Fred to fetch him the whiskey jug and they would drink to the city of Ponca. The jug was brought and Jeff was nearly seated, "My God! there coiled a rattle snake, big as a wash tub, and I nearly sat on it." Telling Fred to watch it he got a single tree from the wagon and killed it. The snake had fourteen rattles.11
