Cliburn/Clayburn/Claborn 1800s Name Study

Surnames/tags: Cliburn Clayburn Claborn

This is an attempt at detangling the many Claibornes (and their various spellings), specifically with a child named Alice or Mary (or similar) born between 1875 and 1885(ish), in the Texas are (including Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, to be expanded as needed).

Specifically, I am looking for the family of origin for Mary Alice (Claborn) Wynn (abt.1879-bef.1920) I believe she was born before 1880 so should theoretically appear on the 1880 census, but she was married with a child at the 1900 Census.

I am hoping that by following all of the 1880 Alice/Mary's families forward to 1900, I can locate any families where Alice/Mary is not in the 1900 Census, to narrow down possibilities of parentage.

Known Facts about Alice (that would have been known in 1880: 1900 Census says birthplace of Texas, Mother's birthplace of Tennessee. 1910 Census says birthplace of Texas, Mother's birthplace of Arkansas, Father's Birthplace of Texas.
