There is a Jeptha Webb (11/6/1877-10/29/1966) buried at Midway Cemetery south of Lee. His wife is Rebecker (3/2/1884-3/27/1918) also buried there. A son of your Jeptha, perhaps? I didn't see a Jeptha born in 1848 in my records - and I have most of the cemeteries in eastern Madison County in my database.
