Dear Friends, Cousins and Relatives of all descriptions, I'm a history as well as genealogy buff, and I think most of you are also, therefore, I forward the following information as it applies to all of you to one extent or another. Many of you are connected to the Webbs who were one of the leading families within one area of Lawrence County, Kentucky during the middle to late 1800s. Over one hundred and twenty-two years ago a town was named for the Webb clan in that county called "Webbville." Information contained below is taken from the Kentucky Explorer. ________________________ "In 1879 a state gazeteer was published for the entire state of Kentucky. The book included a description of most every community from the smallest to the largest. Agents for the book must have traveled to all parts of Kentucky collecting names and advertisements. The book does not contain any photographs. (Just think of the scenes they could have photographed.) Most every month The Kentucky Explorer reprints portions of this very book, and I noted this one in the June issue. The fact that this town was named after one particular group of KY Webbs, I gained from other genealogical information. In this article it stated that the first Postmaster appointed there was a Webb, also. I don't remember his first name, but it could be the one listed in this article contained in the Gazeteer. ______________________________ WEBBVILLE In the northwestern part of Lawrence County, 20 miles northwest of Louisa, the county seat; three miles south of Willard, its nearest shipping point, on the E. K. Ry; and 220 miles east of Louisville. Tri-weekly stage to Willard and Paintsville. Fare to the former point, 25 cents; to the latter, $2.25. Adams Express. Daily mail. Population, 200. B.F. Webb, Postmaster. BUSINESS DIRECTORY Candill Rev Jeremiah.(Think this might be a misprint, should be (Caudill) Hudgis T W, general store and physician. Johnson Rev John, Baptist Perkins H C, general store Thompson John, livestock. Thornesbury Rev Louis. Webb B F, livestock. Webb G W, saw and flour mill. Webb Levi, livestock. Webb & Pennington, flour mill." _________________________ If you are descended from this group, you will note that JAMES WEBB, JR., b. May 15, 1787, fathered, with the assistance of Mrs. WEBB, one ELIZABETH PENNINGTON, 12 children. You will also note if you compare them to the initials given by the Gazeteer, many conform to the male members initials. Also, the Webb & Pennington Flour Mill doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to connect to this family. Interesting isn't it?

dear Bonnie, No I guess I did not. Please tell me more. Was she the daughter of Chesley or John. Most sincerely, shirley

I don't remember who is was, but somebody was looking for information on an Addie Webb. I ran across this by accident in my downloads, and don't have any idea where it came from, but since I saved it, I must have felt it was important:) Somewhere I remember reading that Addy Webb was the first Webb to come to America. Hope this helps someone. might be in ano. town. [[443]] WEBB, ADEY, ADY, ADDEY, or ADDY, Plymouth 1631, was tax. in two foll. yrs. and on the list of those able to bear arms in 1643, his name appears with a star bef. it. He was not a sever puritan, but oft. prosecut. for work. on the Lord's day, bound as serv. to Gov. Prence, and prob. had no w. or ch. See Felt, Eccles. Hist. i. 347. BENJAMIN, Malden, m. 7 Dec. 1669, Mercy, d. of William Bucknam, and, were it in my power, I would gladly tell more than that he was freem. 1690. CHRISTOPHER, Braintree, freem. 1645, had perhaps Peter, but the old town rec. is incomplete, not nam. the mo. nor date; and it cannot be that, as Farmer had it, he was b. 1657, and so more likely to be s. of sec. Christopher; was one of the petitnrs. that yr. for leave to go and possess the ld. from wh. our governm. had unrighteous. driv. Gorton, Holden, and other misbeliev. planters; but the right of the sufferers was vindicat. in Eng. CHRISTOPHER, Billerica, prob. s. of the preced. b. in Eng. m. 18 Jan. 1656, Hannah Scott, perhaps d. of the first Benjamin, had John, b. 23 Oct. foll.; Samuel, Aug. 1660, as the town rec. certifies, tho. I have seen a statem. that it was 28 July 1660; Christopher, 25 Mar. 1663; Hannah, 5 Sept. 1665; Benjamin, 12 Apr. 1667; Mary, 6 Sept. 1669; Joseph, 15 Mar. 1672; Abigail, 13 Oct. 1675. He was town clk. 1678, early in life, and rep. in the difficult times of 1689 and 90, d. 30 May 1694, aged 64. DANIEL, Salem, licens. as innholder 1689, had m. 20 July 1675, Mary Beckwett, d. of John, had John, b. 17 Apr. 1676; Margaret, 20 Feb. 1678, d. at 2 yrs.; Perez, 1 Apr. 1680; Mary, 14 Aug. 1682; Daniel, 5 Sept. 1688; and Elizabeth 17 May 1692. FRANCIS, by mr. Felt in Ann. I. 171, is represent. erron. as coming in the fleet with Higginson in June 1629 to Salem, and by him correct. as in II. 630 a doubt is express. however. He was a contrib. of £50. to encourage the planta. but never came over, I think; and was one of the most active promoters, no other mem. of the comp. being so sure to attend their meet. In Oct. 1629 he join. with Gov. Cradock, Dept.-Gov. Goffe, Winthrop, Saltonstall, treasr. Harwood, Johnson, Pynchon, and Vassall, in writ. from London to Higginson and Skelton, as to the "divers scandulous and intemp. speeches passed form one or both of you in your publ. sermons or pray." as report. by the two members John and Samuel Browne, wh. had accomp. those min. Of course he was not a fellow-passeng. but was (under direction of the Gov. and comp. in Eng. to Endicott) to have a mill privilege in the Col. and all this appears from thee rec. I. 39, 401, and 408, in connex. with 128, showing that our Gen. Ct. in Boston, Sept. 1634, wrote to him, George Harwood, and other great friends in London, to intreat them to choose one of themselves treasr. for this planta. in lieu of Harwood. Tho. the Edit. of Transact. or Amer. Antiq. Soc. III. suppos. that he d. bef. sett. up his sawmill [[444]] here, to me it seems equal. prob. that he was engag. in business of too much import. at London to come over, and intend. to carry forwards the mill business by a serv. or factor. GEORGE, Dover 1642, tax. 1648, d. 1650. HENRY, Boston, merch. came from Salisbury, Co. Wilts, with w. Dosabell, perhaps in 1637, when Felt marks a gr. of ld. to him, but more prob. in 1638, adm. of our ch. 6 Feb. 1639, as was she on Sunday foll. made freem. 13 Mar. next, constable 1641, brot. only ch. Margaret, wh. had been bapt. at S. 25 Sept. 1625. Prob. she was b. by a first w. for in the parish rec. of St. Edmunds at S. may be seen, that Henry W. m. 23 Apr. 1627, Jane Woolford, and so we may assume that Dosabell was third w. This w. d. 28 Feb. 1660, and he d. 7 Sept. foll. and prob. his d. was sudden, as Elizabeth the d. of his only ch. was m. on the same day to Robert Gibbs. Margaret had by spec. license of the Gen. Ct. permiss. Sept. 1642, to m. first Jacob Sheaffe, and sev. yrs. aft. his d. she m. Rev. Thomas Thacher. His will of 5 Apr. 1660 is very full, and may be read in Geneal. Reg. X. 177-80. It was pro. 13 Sept. foll. and perhaps his est. was the largest that had so early come into Ct. Inv. was £7,819. 5s. 2d. Six clerg. were favor. with small lagacies, and John and Samuel Sanford, s. of his sis. Elizabeth had £80. ea. but perhaps they were in Eng. as was a sis. of his w. also a legatee. Webb was largely engag. in the Lynn iron works and a great benefactor to Harv. Coll. beside legacy of £50. gave that fine prop. betw. Washington and Devonshire streets in B. where the great publishers, Little Brown & Co. have long exhibit. their treasures. JEREMIAH, Northampton, s. of the first John of the same, m. a. 1693, Priscilla, McLathlin, had Joanna, b. 16 Mar. 1694, d. in two wks. and in Geneal. Reg. III. 400, her name was mistaken for Jonathan; Priscilla, Aug. 1695; Esther, 23 Dec. 1697; Josiah, 28 Mar. 1700, d. at 23 yrs.; Daniel, 1702; Sarah, Apr. 1704; Joseph, Mar. 1707, d. at 2 mos.; Elizabeth 6 May 1708; Experience, 12 Nov. 1710; and Moses, 20 Mar. 1713; had sec. w. Sarah, but no ch. by her is kn. and he d. 5 Mar. 1734. JOHN, Boston, adm. of the ch. 9 Feb. 1634, then call. single man, and of wh. I hear no more, unless he went home that yr. and came again with Stephen in the James from Southampton, emb. in Apr. 1635, and arr. 3 June. Both are call. laborers or husbandmen, said to be of Marlborough in Wilts, but favored also with an alias Evereed, and it may be that both points of the description were to delude the tyrannic. formality. He was adm. freem. 7 Dec. 1636, sr. co. 1643, one of the early sett. of Chelmsford, there was ens. and rep. 1663, 4,5, but in the last yr. was expelled. fin. and for a season disfranch. but soon restor. had gr. of ld. at Dracut 1667, d. 16 Oct. 1668, by the strange occur. of being drown. by a whale, unless a false a spread, wh. may be seen in Rev. [[445]] Samuel Danforth's writ. for Roxbury ch. where he insert. it the next day. See Rev. Simon Bradstreet's Journal in Geneal. Reg. IX. 44. JOHN, Saybrook 1648, may bee s. of Richard of Hartford, for he is enum. the same yr. as of that place, and is perhaps the man wh. d. there 27 May 1684. JOHN, Boston, a brazier, adm. inhab. 24 Nov. 1651. JOHN, Northampton 1655, had by first w. Ann, at Hartford, Mary, b. 5 Feb. 1648, wh m. 24 Mar. 1663, John Arle; Sarah, wh. m. 17 Dec. 1668, Zechariah Field; Richard, 1654; and perhaps Lydia, wh. d. at N. 1667. His w. d. 26 Aug. of that yr. and he m. 16 Oct. next, Elizabeth Swift, had Jeremiah, 12 July 1668; and Peter, 23 June 1670, posthum. for the f. d. 19 May preced. The wid. m. Robert Danks. JOHN, Northampton, s. of the preced. m. 12 Dec. 1665, Susanna, wid. of Matthew Cole, only ch. of Henry Cunliffe of the same, had John, b. 8 Jan. 1667; Henry, 27 Nov. 1668; Ann, 4 Feb. 1671; Ebenezer, 16 Jan. 1673; Sarah, 28 Dec. 1674; Mindwell, 31 May 1678; Mary, 20 Aug. 1681; and Thankful, 21 Apr. 1684; and he d. 3 Apr. 1720, in ripe old age. His wid. d. 30 Oct. 1735, aged 90. JOHN, Salem, 1667, is prob. the same wh. m. Bridget Whitford of the same, and had Bridget, b. 17 Aug. 1678. JOHN, Braintree, m. May 1680, Bethia, d. of Joseph Adams of the same. JOHN, Northampton, perhaps not s. of John of the same bef. ment. sw. alleg. Feb. 1679. JONATHAN, Malden, d. Sept. 1658. JONATHAN, Northampton, d. 1694. JOSEPH, Boston, eldest s. of Richard of the sane freem. 1675, d. or was burt. 11 Oct. 1698. He by w. Grace had Joseph, b. 10 May 1666; Mary, 27 Aug. 1671; Sarah, 14 Oct. 1673; and Elisha, 13 Feb. 1676. JOSEPH, Stamford, d. 1684, leav. ch. Joseph, Mary, Hannah, Sarah, and Margery. JOSEPH, Fairfield, perhaps s. of the preced. nam. in Mather's Hecatompolis, bred at H. C. 1684, first of the name, where he was expel. as by the Diary of Noadiah Russell in Geneal. Reg. VII. 53 is relat. and he tells how soon he was restor. m. 1691, Elizabeth youngest d. of Isaac Stratford, ord. 15 Aug. 1694, had prob. Joseph, Y. C. 1715, and d. 19 Sept. 1732. NEHEMIAH, Boston, youngest s. of Richard of the same, cordwainer, sold, 1670, his sh. of paternal est. RICHARD, Weymouth, had Joseph, b. 19 Aug. 1640; and Nehemiah, 19 Oct. 1641; rem. to Boston, prob. in 1644, there offer. those ch. to bapt. 12 Jan. 1645, the rec. of first ch. varying from certif. copy of W. town rec. only in call. 17 Oct. the day of b. of the younger, but shockingly proving its falsity as to the f. of the other. He was a shoemaker, had w. Mary, and in Oct. 1648 unit. with James Everill and others in ask., incorpo. for their handicraft; made his will wh. names no w. 1 July 1659, and d. next day. RICHARD, Cambridge, freem. 6 Nov. 1632, is count. as one of those order. by Ct. to [[446]] rem. from Braintree, by Dr. Holmes in 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. VII. 10, certain, went in the great migrat. with Gov. Haynes, and other friends of Hooker, and sat down at Hartford, was of the gr. jury 1643, in few yrs. aft. rem. to Norwalk, and there, too, was one of there first sett. He had w. Elizabeth and d. July 1665, his wid. wh. d. 24 Jan. 1681, being then charg. for est. larger than any exc. three in that town. He left no ch. but took Sarah, d. of Rev. Samuel Stone, and brot. her up, until she m. Thomas Butler of Hartford; and in Hall's Hist. we see that the wid. empower. a friend, in 1677 to adj. with Butler and his w. for their claim of the est. of her h. Butler's w. had half. and by the Court was distribut. other portions to Bartholomew Barnard, wh. was h. of Sarah, d. of Thomas Birchard, to Richard Homes, Stephen Beckwith, Thomas Barnum and others, of whose degrees of consanguin. it may not be easy top determine. Still, in 1694, among the voters in that town is Ebenezer W. RICHARD, Northampton, br. of the sec. John of the same, sw. alleg. 8 Feb. 1679, by w. Patience had Ebenezer, b. 27 July 1684; Ann, 2 June 1686, d. at 5 yrs.; Patience, 7 Sept. 1687; Jonathan; John and Thankful, tw. 28 Feb. 1692, of wh.

She was prob. the wid not the d. SAMUEL, Braintree, perhaps younger br. of John of the same, m. 16 Dec. 1686, Mary, d. of Joseph Adams of the same. STEPHEN, perhaps br. of John, was fellow-passeng. in the James 1635, from Southampton, both honor. with the alias Evered, and both from Marlborough in Wilts; but no more is kn. of him on our side of the ocean. THOMAS, Charlestown, by w. Mary, had Sarah, bapt. 17 June 1666; Thomas, 5 Mar. 1668; may be that mariner of Boston, taking deed of ho. and ld. Mar. 1661, from Nathaniel Fryer, and perhaps went home for short time, coming back in 1671. WILLIAM, Boston, had been one of Roxbury ch. bef. adm. freem. 25 May 1636, and in the list of mem. to his name is add. the informat. that his w. was excom. in 1642.

Dear Sue, I enjoyed this tremendously. Thank you so much for sharing.

I count my blessings for this reminder of how some of our family had to celebrate holidays. Sue July 4, 1945 TO: Mrs. Betty Webb, 294 Matheson Dr., Macon, Georgia FROM: T/Sgt. M. Webb, 15018667, Sq.A-5-APO-19491-A, c/o PM, San Francisco, Cal. VIA AIR MAIL-6 cent stamp. Passed By US Army Examiner #42376. [Censor stamp], postmarked July 4, 1945. At sea. Hello, Dearest. Am spending a wonderful holiday "at sea." This is another still day, just a little wind but that can be expected. Well, am on deck, as the rules of this ship is to go on top from nine to eleven. Then the Army orientation will bring us up again this evening. Am beginning to settle down and enjoy the trip, I mean as much as possible. Can go in the mess and eat, that is something I didn't think I ever could do when I first started. Bought a new pen, a Waterman's. It is a good one, but you know I can't write anyway. Got it on ship, $1.50. The ship's PX did have some good Schaffers, but I didn't get in on them in time. Still have my other one but wanted this because it writes fine. If I go in supply again, well, a fine writing pen sure is a good thing to have around. The letter that I wrote you yesterday was written from the top bunk, up next to a little light. Sure a job to try to write on deck, so many men crowding around trying to find some place to get out of the way. I sure would like to spend today with you and Sue. And it would be nice to know just where you are and what your plans are. . . . It seems that July the fourth at home [Gordon, Boone County, WV] was always so nice and warm. I always looked forward to it as much or more than any other holiday. Then to have one on this ship in the South West Pacific headed for the Hawaiian Islands. Yes, dear, we know where we are going and can write about it. Will probably get to see Honolulu. That is a long way off but only a step to compare to what or where we may go. Would like to lay over there awhile and get to see the beach of Waikiki and some of the interesting points, of course. You know my overseas time started when I got on the boat on the West Coast, but won't get to start in on the rotation plan until the War is won or we get assigned to a unit. Darling, it is getting terribly windy. I will finish this some time this evening. 5 July 1945. Will have to continue on the second day, didn't get a chance to write any more yesterday. Quite a lot of wind, just too rough for me to try to write. My old stomach won't be still in much of this wind. Well, dear, we had our usual holiday dinner: turkey, and would have been much better on land! Today is rather warm, must be getting close to some sunshine. Haven't saw much sun since leaving Georgia. Sure makes a fellow wonder and do some thinking . . . We have been told that mail sent to my APO number would be sent on to Hawaii. I got two letters direct from you before leaving the states. After this dear, don't think I will try to write any more on ship. It is too discouraging and disgusting to try to write. Think I will close until we see Pearl Harbor.

Dear Extended Webb Family: I thought you might like to see some of my dad's letter, written to mom on the 4th of July, 1945, as the (landlubber) WV hillbilly endured his first "ocean voyage," - courtesy of Uncle Sam. I count my blessings for this reminder of how some of our family had to celebrate holidays. Sue July 4, 1945 TO: Mrs. Betty Webb, 294 Matheson Dr., Macon, Georgia FROM: T/Sgt. M. Webb, 15018667, Sq.A-5-APO-19491-A, c/o PM, San Francisco, Cal. VIA AIR MAIL-6 cent stamp. Passed By US Army Examiner #42376. [Censor stamp], postmarked July 4, 1945. At sea. Hello, Dearest. Am spending a wonderful holiday "at sea." This is another still day, just a little wind but that can be expected. Well, am on deck, as the rules of this ship is to go on top from nine to eleven. Then the Army orientation will bring us up again this evening. Am beginning to settle down and enjoy the trip, I mean as much as possible. Can go in the mess and eat, that is something I didn't think I ever could do when I first started. Bought a new pen, a Waterman's. It is a good one, but you know I can't write anyway. Got it on ship, $1.50. The ship's PX did have some good Schaffers, but I didn't get in on them in time. Still have my other one but wanted this because it writes fine. If I go in supply again, well, a fine writing pen sure is a good thing to have around. The letter that I wrote you yesterday was written from the top bunk, up next to a little light. Sure a job to try to write on deck, so many men crowding around trying to find some place to get out of the way. I sure would like to spend today with you and Sue. And it would be nice to know just where you are and what your plans are. . . . It seems that July the fourth at home [Gordon, Boone County, WV] was always so nice and warm. I always looked forward to it as much or more than any other holiday. Then to have one on this ship in the South West Pacific headed for the Hawaiian Islands. Yes, dear, we know where we are going and can write about it. Will probably get to see Honolulu. That is a long way off but only a step to compare to what or where we may go. Would like to lay over there awhile and get to see the beach of Waikiki and some of the interesting points, of course. You know my overseas time started when I got on the boat on the West Coast, but won't get to start in on the rotation plan until the War is won or we get assigned to a unit. Darling, it is getting terribly windy. I will finish this some time this evening. 5 July 1945. Will have to continue on the second day, didn't get a chance to write any more yesterday. Quite a lot of wind, just too rough for me to try to write. My old stomach won't be still in much of this wind. Well, dear, we had our usual holiday dinner: turkey, and would have been much better on land! Today is rather warm, must be getting close to some sunshine. Haven't saw much sun since leaving Georgia. Sure makes a fellow wonder and do some thinking . . . We have been told that mail sent to my APO number would be sent on to Hawaii. I got two letters direct from you before leaving the states. After this dear, don't think I will try to write any more on ship. It is too discouraging and disgusting to try to write. Think I will close until we see Pearl Harbor. With love, Mac

My Benjamin was born in Harrison County in 1780. His father was Nutter Webb. He married Martha Stuart daughter of William Stuart. Veldonna

Tom, I can`t tell you how exciting to find some news like that, I have so many questions, I do have some information and census records (or copy's) of them in TN but there ages were different, I have some pictures of John and Elizabeth's grave stones, I also have pictures of Jacobs family, but don't know who Johns parents were. Can you scan pictures or letters into the computer? I would love to have copies, if you don't mind.

p.126, Ch.6, "Virginia Roots-Webbs in 1880 Soundex born in Virginia," from Ron Turner's "Webb Families of the Virginias." Johnson County, Kentucky WEBB, Jonathan, 62, b.VA Mary, 54, b.VA George W., 36, b.VA Peggy A., 34, b.VA William, 25, b.KY John, 32, b.KY Nancy, 20, b.KY Adison, 18, b.KY Charles N. (gs), 3, b.KY (appears to be listed as one household) Only Dillons listed are a Frances and a Mary. Some years ago I helped a friend search her Dillon line and recall distinctly, for it was like falling into a gold mine. The family originated in Ireland and there are tons of Dillon records of them settling in the "Blackwater region of Franklin County, VA," very early 1800s. One of the genealogical publications led me to one of that counties' historical books and from there it was gravy, with the exception of following the county-line breakups as the county split into several others. Hope you can find your Dillons there and if so - maybe the Webbs. This Addison is too young to be the one you seek, but as it is such a unique name, could have been named for an ancestor. (I know, I grab any possibility.) Happy hunting. Sue At 10:41 AM 7/3/01 -0400, you wrote: >Hi Sue, > I think you are the one doing lookups in the Webb's of Virginia book.. if >not just delete this..

I understood from a book on name meanings the German version is from "weber" meaning weaver of cloth. Sue At 03:14 PM 7/3/01 -0700, you wrote: >I'm trying to find the meaning of the name Webb.

I have been told the name originally meant weaver or Le Web! Winnie

Hi Sue, I think you are the one doing lookups in the Webb's of Virginia book.. if not just delete this.. I have been watching these postings and have not seen anything that looks like my Webb line BUT... could you see if there is any mention of the name ADDISON Webb in the book... this name appears in Webb's in Ill and Ohio, and then my Webb line With Addison R. Webb b:1797 either Va or Ky, noone knows for sure. He married a Nancy Dillon of Va/WVa. in the early 1800's (1824ish) and this is my Brick Wall.. Maybe ... Just Maybe there is something in that Webb book regarding the Addison Name. Thank You, Louise Kay Horton

Only one Harmon and that's an Edmund. No Martha Johnson or anything close. On a Jarrell website (Logan/Boone/Raleigh Counties, WV) I learned a bit of how a small band of the Cherokee "went into the hills" rather than be moved west on the Trail of Tears. Some had left earlier, knowing what was coming; some stayed long after and were sought out by some gov't forces, but some were never found, just eventually integrated via marriage into White society and blood lines. One was a Jarrell who was one of our ancestors, but I think that is too far back or there is more. I'd also sought this out, as my father, his mother and some cousins have/had hair so black it was blue in places, never burned in the sun, had several other features indicating Native American heritage. This Jarrell has a website but it is one I stumbled over in a search engine. Good luck.
