Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary" has the following to say about the Wilbores.  "Samuel Wildbore with wife Ann, who was daughter of Thomas Bradford of Doncaster, in the southern part of Yorkshire..."

Mr. Savage was wrong...

112: 109 ...in 1637 he, with others was banished to Portsmouth R.I. for being a follower of Ann Hutchinson... 
112: 110 ...Nicholas Wilbore, the grandfather of Samuel, went from Colchester to Braintree, and Nicholas, the father of Samuel, about the year 1595 left Braintree for Sible Hedingham, because he had married Elizabeth Harrington, the widow of Robert Harrington...  Samuel was born between 1596 and 1600 as his marriage occurred in 1620.  He was of Sible Hedingham in 1633 when he sailed for America as his son Shadrach was baptized there in 1632...

William Wilbore was the son of John Wilbore of Braintree, grandson of Joseph and Mary Wilbore of Braintree, and great-grandson of Nicholas and Ann Wilbore of Colchester, later of Braintree.

This William is the one wrongly attached to Samuel as his son in the next source.

p. 931 WILBUR
Samuel Wildbore, immigrant ancestor, married, in England, Ann, daughter of Thomas Bradford, of Doncaster, Yorkshire.  The first record of him is on December 1, 1633, when he and his wife Ann were admitted to the First Church at Boston.  He was made a freeman in Boston, March 4, 1634.  He owned much property in Taunton, Massachusetts, as well as in Boston, and probably lived in both places.  In November, 1637, he was among those banished from the colony on account of religious views.  Acting on the advice of Roger Williams he went to Providence, where he and others who fled with him negotiated the purchase of the island of Aquednek, now Rhode Island, from the Narragansett Indians.  Early in 1638 he removed, with his family, to the new location.  In 1645 he returned to Boston.  Later he built an iron furnace at Taunton, the first in New England.  1638 he was clerk of the town board, constable in 1639, in 1644, sergeant.  He married (second) Elizabeth, widow of Thomas Lechford.  She was admitted to the church November 29, 1645.  He died July 24, 1656.  His will, dated April 30, 1656, was proved November 6, 1656, and his widow and son Shadrach were execu-
Samuel's wife was Anne SMITH, not Ann BRADFORD.  Also, Samuel died 29 Nov 1656, not July 24th.
p. 932 tors.  His widow married Henry Bishop, December 20, 1656; he died in 1664, and she died probably about July, 1665.  Children:  Samuel, born 1614; Joseph, died August 27, 1691; William, born 1630, mentioned below; Shadrach, 1632.

(II) William Wilbur, son of Samuel Wildbore, was born in 1630, and died 1710.  He married Martha ____, in 1653.  He settled at Little Compton, Rhode Island, about 1654, and died at Tiverton, Rhode Island.  Children: Mary, born 1654; Joseph, born 1656; John, 1658; Thomas, 1659; William, December, 1660; Martha, 1662; Samuel, 1664; Daniel, 1666, mentioned below; Joan, 1668; Benjamin, 1670...

From here on (to p. 933) the book traces the line from (II) William to (IX) Thomas J. WILBUR, born 3 Nov 1873 in Hamilton Co., NY.  The problem is that Samuel WILBORE's son, William, was born in 1626, not 1630, and he died in infancySamuel had no surviving son named, William.  So, between getting Samuel's first wife wrong and attaching the wrong William as his son, only a few sentences of this entire entry actually apply to our subject.

Note that Wilbour (1958: 111) identifies the father of this William WILBUR as John WILBORE of Braintree.

Samuel Wilbore died 29th — 7th month.
Remember that, at this time, March was the first month of the year.
