Hi Winston, Thanks again for trying to help me identify my Henry WEBB. The Henry WEBB I'm trying to identify was born about 1836 somewhere in KENTUCKY. His parents and siblings are unknown. He married Mary DUNN about 1855, probably in Morgan County. Their first child, John W. WEBB was born in Stillwater, Morgan County on 10 March 1856. Mary DUNN is the daughter of John and Elizabeth TAULBEE DUNN. Known children of Henry and Mary DUNN WEBB are: John W., Greenberry, Evaline, Sarah E., James, Susan Arminta (my ggrandmother), Reuben, Samuel H., Robert G, and Rosa. Mary DUNN WEBB died between 1880 and 1900. The 1900 census lists Henry WEBB in Powell County living next to his son Reuben. Hopefully, someone will recognize this family and help me break through my brickwall. Sue Sullivan _suesullivanokc@aol.com_ (mailto:suesullivanokc@aol.com)

Ms. Sullivan, Perhaps I can be of some small assistance with your Webb family research: ---The records that reference Morgan County and Owsley County in your research almost certainly refer to areas that are now part of Wolfe County. Therefore, it appears that from about 1860 to near the time Henry is found in Powell County, he lived in what is now Wolfe County. ---In the earliest record, which clearly identifies Henry, the 1860 Owsley County location is now Southwestern Wolfe. ---In that census he is enumerated as "Harrison" which raises an interesting question about his name. Harrison is not a nickname and one that this particular census taker would not likely have confused with "Henry". William Henry Harrison, or a combination of the three names, is relatively common in early Kentucky. A "Henry" in my family defied identification until an older member of the family remembered it was "William Henry". ---A person who could be Henry's son, Samuel H. Webb, b. ca1872, died at Eastern State Hospital in Fayette County on December 28, 1912. His birth is listed as Lee County. I do not know the extent that data from the old hospital is available to the public, but he is buried on the Hospital grounds. ---Most importantly, the 1878 birth of Henry's son, Robert, lists Henry's birth county as Perry County. It is almost certain that Henry gave that information himself. ---North Carolina Webb families, such as Benjamin Webb, b.1770's, that lived in Perry County, were in Southeastern Kentucky in the early 1800's. Benjamin's son, Enoch, has a son Henry, b.1836, but he is not your Henry. The name's Rueben and Green are also found in the Webb's of Perry County. ---I know you realize that researching early Kentucky families requires a careful consideration of the creation of counties and their changing borders. The Webb families found in Perry County in the 1830's and 1840's (about the time of your Henry's birth ) found themselves in Letcher County when that County was formed.
