The “Arterburn” surname and Family line in America began with Peter Atterburn/Arterburn (1711-1803) who was an orphan, and whose surname was phonetically derived in Colonial Maryland from his unwed mother’s maiden surname, Jane Weatherburn/Wedderburn, The Arterburn surname in America did not exist prior to the lifetime of Peter Arterburn. Peter's first wife/companion in Colonial Maryland, the mother of his eldest son, William Arterburn, remains unknown. (Arterburn, 2023)
"William and Jane (Wilkinson) Arterburn," whoever they were, could not possibly have been related in any way to the Arterburn Family line in America, and may not have even been identified by this surname spelling subsequent to their marriage.
