So Brad... What families are you researching? Can we help each other? I'm always interested in learning more/better information on the families of Johnson County. Is anyone interested in the pension file for one (or maybe two) James Webb??? This pension file may be for two fellows, actually, as there were 2 James Webb's in Johnson County at the time, and there are two women claiming this pension. One James Webb is the son of Mitchell Webb, married to Courtney Boyt? Smith Webb. The other is for a James Webb married to a Susan A. ? Webb and I haven't come to any conclusion on who he is or how he connects to the Mitchell Webb group. I believe the second claimant is for a much younger man who was not yet married as of the 1860 census. Children are involved for both, Courtney moved to Stoddard Co., Mo. and apparently never married again - she & her James had one surviving child, Manirva Jane Webb. Susan had 4 children, 3 boys and a girl, with one of the boys moving West, but never a mention of his name. If anyone is interested, I can send you the transcriptions as a text file. It is 18KB large.
