Hi, Peggy - I'm a descendant of Eli Webb (b. 1782) who came to Franklin Co., Ill., sometime before Illinois became a state. I have the direct line generations from Eli down to myself and my son, but don't know all the various lines which number into multiplied thousands from Eli and his brother Lazarus. I might suggest that if you have questions about the Webbs, you might get on the Franklin Co. rootsweb list, as there are some very knowledgeable Webb genealogists there. Eli and Lazarus organized a Primitive Baptist church there in 1818 (and were probably members of a still earlier one in Franklin Co), and I am the sixth consecutive generation from them to be a member of the Primitive Baptist church. It is a distinct denomination separate from other Baptists and has been ever since the 1820's, even though a lot of you may not have ever heard of it. The first church of any faith organized in Knox county was a Primitive Baptist church - the one I asked about, Henderson Church, organized in August 1830.
