Wanda, Thanks for sharing all the info.I realized that I had some of this info saved,but not sure if I had seen mention about William Webb Jr.in 1801. He may connect to one of my DNA matches that come out of Buckingham Co.VA. The John Webb that was granted land in Scott Co.VA.does connect to another one of my DNA matches whose line shows up in Johnson Co.KY. Maybe within the link that you sent,I may find his father, John Webb Sr. Just received a message with concerns to Bedford Co.VA.and Rowan Co.N.C.which might hold some clues on my John's where abouts. At one time,I think you were researching the Webb's in Buckingham Co. Do you know if any of these Buckingham Co.Webb's went into Bedford Co.VA.or Rowan Co.N.C.by chance?

Wanda, What state are the William Webb Jr. land grants in? BETTY WEBB, author of the Lena Jones mystery series, Poisoned Pen Press www.bettywebb-mystery.com DESERT RUN, March 2006. "Multifaceted, fast-paced" Publishers Weekly DESERT SHADOWS, 2004. "A classic of the mystery genre." Mystery News DESERT WIVES: POLYGAMY CAN BE MURDER, 2002. "Eye-popping!"

I've located a veiw more land grants that you may be interested in: William Webb Jr., August 7, 1801, 108 acres, Buckingham County, adjoining John Fergeson and Joseph Mays James Guillam, July 27, 1803, 100 acres, Buckingham County, adjoining John Webb, John Miller and others.

Webb, October 22, 1827, Scott County, 100 acres on both sides of Clinch River. James Webb, February 6, 1827, 250 acres on the South side of Clinch River in the Cany Valley. I didn't print out the complete patent on these, but they can be pulled up at the Library of Virginia website: http://ajax.lva.lib.va.us Do an advance search - type in Surname and County, or Surname and Land Grants (the second example should pull up over 300 land patents only.

Thanks bunches for this. I think this John Webb is a brother to my William Webb b.abt.1780. Will have to recheck my notes to see when this John Webb moved into Johnson Co.KY. I don't think the move was made till sometime around 1840. We do know for sure that John was in Scott Co.VA,but can't say if he was born there or moved there from somewhere else. Ya know,maybe this could be our lost John Webb,father to William and John! I got info saved on a Gilliam line that comes out of Buckingham Co.VA. Need to check and see if there is mention to a Joseph Gilliam among that info.

Melissa, I have always been told that we were of Pennsylvania Dutch stock on my fathers (Webb) side, but have no idea where that came from since I can't get past my Henry and Catherine Harrold/Harrell Va/NC line.

Family History Site shows a Allison Webb who was born in New York,1844,which could be the brother to Miranda. He is on the 1880 Census for Michigan. He has a Wife and one son,Both his wife and son were born in New York. The boys name was Roscoe,who was 13 in 1880. Excelsior,Kalkaska Michigan.Have you tried to find the family on the 1850 Census for New York ? Lyell

Hi Anne, speaking of your mother reminds me that my gran wrote on little scraps of paper, on calender pages, basically anything handy... and so far every one of those silly little doodling pieces of info have led me where I needed to go and has born out... Our webbs, Karen's and Mine, I have to think will follow to one of the last scraps of paper that I want to prove... She says that our Webbs were Penn Dutch and that some weavers were cousins... so I went online and looked up the penn dutch... Some of the foodstuffs that we ate in my family directly relate... so I am thinking maybe... Since we cant prove that silly quaker nonsensical book about Zachariah that we cant re-find, I am thinking not Quaker and maybe penn dutch there too... So this is an open letter to all webbs, do we have any documented lines that are believed to be penn dutch...? Also, I like to murky up the waters a bit more... Another Samuel... When I was doing my timeline to separate all the Zachariahs and make sense of what little info we got from that book, there was a Samuel Webb that witnessed the Zachariah 1's will in 1761... He is not mentioned as a son, so I was thinking he might have been a brother... This was Perquimans County, NC... Thanks, Shari

I have Miranda Webb who was born "near Peekskill, New York" on 14 April 1827, according to her obituary. Being "near Peekskill" puts the event possibly in several adjoining NY counties, including Orange Co. Miranda's father was Allison Webb (sometimes seen spelled as Alison or Alson). Her mother's first name was probably Sally, or Sully-which seems less likely. By 1847, Miranda was in LaSalle Township, Monroe County, Michigan, where she married Hiram Leonard and spent the rest of her life. I have never been able to locate or get further information on Allison Webb or any of his other children. If this rings a bell for anyone, I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hey, Folks! I thought I made it clear to the group that I was not posting my Webb line as a positive thing... Any doubts anyone may have...is a good thing. Please let me know what you think may be in error on my listing and I will dig some more. I have no desire to claim any ancestors but my own. Fran in SC

Ann, Thank you so much for making it a point that documentation is of great importance when making claims to Webb lineage's! That's why my Webb line only goes back to a John Webb of VA.and we can only give him an estimated time of birth because we don't know! DNA is in for this Webb line and we have connections to Buckingham & Scott Co.VA.plus Monroe,Pike and Floyd Co.KY.

Anna, I am having trouble finding my Webb lines before Henry Webb Sr. This Henry b.abt 1783 married Catherine Harrold b. N.C., in Patrick Co., Va in 1812. They ended up in DeWitt Co.,Il in the very early 1840's. With them came three sons: Cuthbert b. 1816, William b.1819 and Henry Jr. (my line) b.1820 all in Va. I believe there was another son who may have died before getting to Illinois. Henry Jr. married Mary Ann Lash b.1825 Ohio on 22 Feb 1844 in DeWitt Co.,Il. Their children were: dau. Eliza b. 1845, son Isaac Newton b. 21 Sep 1847 d. 3 Dec 1910 (my line), son Hiram b. 4 Apr 1949, dau Elizabeth C. b. 13 May 1851, dau Frances A b. 1853 and son John Henry b. 30 Sep 1858. Mary Ann died giving birth to John Henry. Henry Jr married two more times having another child Barbara by his third wife. Have you or any others heard of these Webb lines? Any help would be appreciated. Nikki Webb-Prater You wrote: > >I will again call for any hard documentation that makes the connection >indisputably to William Micajah Webb or from him to Alexander.

I will again call for any hard documentation that makes the connection indisputably to William Micajah Webb or from him to Alexander. So far the most anyone has offered me is an undocumented website, or a book written in the 1800s "from an unpublished manuscript" or "a Bible so-and-so allowed me to look at" but "unfortunately so-and-so is now dead and I don't know where the Bible is now" or some other unverifiable "source." Now I'd like to claim kinship with William Shakespeare or nobility just as much as the next person, but I don't want to do it on the basis of "legend," particularly when there is so much evidence that the "legend" is false. Based on discussions with WEBB genealogy experts, Alexander Webb apparently did NOT "come to America with his four sons: John, Richard, Christopher, and 'some say William, some say Micajah'" Alexander apparently died in England. DNA has shown that Christopher isn't related to many of the WEBBs in the USA, and John and Richard don't seem to be related to one another either. As to "maybe William, maybe Micajah" I have seen a nice story about him, but one without any documentation. This is something I also long to see, especially since my own line is tied to Isle of Wight, VA by DNA. I'm not qualified to question anything from William Micajah down to Samuel Webb who died in 1827, although I will say that I do not find all the links in that --as outlined in Linkage by Jo Smith Webb to be completely compelling. Admittedly, I could be lacking some of the evidence. I do have one burning question however -- well two -- regarding the early GA John & Rachel Giles Webb -- Samuel Webb issue. 1. In LINKAGE, Jo Smith Webb shows that the drawers for the 1805 lottery include "Sam'l Webb's orphans" Who are they, pray tell? 2. Then there is the matter of a Samuel Webb will dated I think it was 1801 claimed as the will of the Samuel Webb who died in 1827. Long time to go without making a will. Even more curious, if memory serves me, that the will named a daughter whose birthdate, according to LINKAGE, was after the will was written. These two things make me wonder if two generations haven't been conflated. And I certainly don't know whether the links from Alexander back to Sir Henry are accurate or not. Now don't get me wrong. I don't KNOW that this is all in error. I'm saying I cannot accept these things with out seeing the evidence. I also realize that some of the evidence may have been lost or destroyed over time and the assertions are perfectly accurate. I welcome anyone who can give real documentation of any of this stuff I have questioned. I am just leery of claiming an ancestry I can't prove. Which is why my own WEBB lineage stops with the birth of Elias Webb c. 1785 in NC or GA and has only a dotted theoretical line back to NC and before that to Isle of Wight, VA. My grandmother Webb (nee Witcher) always told me that the famous Texas historian Walter Prescott Webb was a cousin. When I started serious research into the WEBB line, I was shocked to find I could find no connection. That doesn't mean my beloved "Momo" was incorrect, it means that any definitive connection she might have known about, or her mother might have known about (since she was the one who said so originally as I understand it), was never recorded. And thus goes genealogy --- knowledge that hasn't been recorded anywhere. Which means this may all be right, but what can we PROVE? Anne In a message dated 5/23/2006 2:49:19 P.M.
