    1. [ILLOGAN-L] WEBB and related families
    2. I am interested in the WEBB family that lived in Logan Co. Ill from about 1848 to about 1854. This family was originally from Clark Co. Ky. I found Samuel Webb (my great great grandfather) living with his wife Rebecca, daughter Julia, father Isaiah, and brother Richard in the 1850 census living in Logan Co. Nearby is his brother George and wife Susane, along with brother James. I cannot locate a number of other family members. Isaiah's wife Martha, and five other children are nowhere to be found. The two older girls were probably married by this time (Sally Ann to George Pearson NOBEL and Louisa J. to David COX) but John H., Augustine M., and Caroline "Carrie" WEBB would have been 12,10, and 8 years of age. I know Samuel's wife Rebecca died before he left KY for MO. Family oral history is that she died in some sort of an accident. I don't know if Isaiah died in IL or if he went back to KY. DAR records indicate he died in Clark Co. KY but it wouldn't be the first error I've found. One of the "missing" children, John H. ends up in MO along with Samuel years later. He is said to have married about 1870/71 in Lincoln, Logan Co. IL to a Mary. I don't find any record of her in MO. I would like to hear from anyone having information on this family. Thank-you Kathleen
