I recently found my connection to John WEBB father of John and Jesse WEBB. My line is through Jesse born about 1766, possibly in Virginia, and Anna McMURTRY born 1768 in Botetourt, Bedford Co., Virginia. Anna was the daugher of Joseph McMURTRY and Susannah PATTON. Joseph born about 1733, possibly in New Jersey. His parents were Joseph McMURTRY DOB 1685 in Dalmelling Ayrshire, Scotland and Ann BOONE DOB 1692 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. Susannah's parents were Jacob PATTON and Jennet B.. Susannah PATTON and Joseph McMURTRY were married in Bedford, Virginia on 8-27-1759. Thomas WEBB was the son of Jesse WEBB and Anna McMURTRY. He was born in 1785 in State of Franklin (can someone explain this to me?) and he married Eleanor Penelope "Nellie" McMURTRY who was in 1796 in Caney Branch, Green Co., North Carolina/Tennessee. One of their sons was William WEBB born 1825 in Jefferson Co. Tennessee. William married Martha A. CLIFTON. Martha was born in 1836, place unknown. One of their sons was James Alexander WEBB born in 1853 in Jefferson Co. Tennessee. The family later moved to Cherokee Co. Alabama. In 1878 James married Sarah Agnes CLIFTON born in about 1852. My information says that Sarah's parents were Aaron CLIFTON born in 1812 and an Unnamed Indian Woman. I have no place of birth for Sarah or her parents, but the first record I have on them has them in Blount Co. Alabama. I would love to have any information about Sarah's mother. I hate writing down Unknown Indian Woman. Sarah and James were married in 1878 in Alabama. My information is that the BOONE, PATTON, and McMURTRY families were Quakers. It is possible that the WEBB family was also Quaker. The CLIFTON family is a great mystery to me and now that there is a CLIFTON/WEBB marriage before James and Sarah I am even more confused. I know that CLIFTON isn't a real unusual name, but the are all in the same area and I'm willing to grasp a straws. Any information on these families would be appreciated.
