Webb list: I and other researchers of my Webb line are backed up against a brickwall with trying to discover more input on our John Webb of VA. Not sure of the year he was born,but taking a guess at it,I would say bet.1740-1760. We know that he had a son William Webb that settled in Floyd Co.KY. We have documented sources to support our lineage back to William Webb b.abt.1780 d.1859 Floyd Co.KY.and that his father's name was John. Would love to hear from folks that (don't have documented sources) on their John Webb's within their lineages. Past research had our Webb line has being descendents of the John Webb and Mary Boone line,but we now know,through DNA,that we are not blood related to that line. DNA has matched us with 4 others. 2 of those matches have their Webb lines coming out of Buckingham Co.VA.,1 with his Webb line coming out of Scott Co.VA.and the other with their Webb line coming out of the eastern part of KY.which appears to be a close connection to the Loretta Webb Lynn line. I'd appreciate all the help anyone can give us!!! Thank you in advance, Diane aka Diana Webb Evans
Diana: I still haven't found anyone that can tie my John Webb to the John Webb/Mary Boone line except for DNA is a match. My John Webb was b between 1790 and 1795 in KY? He married Martha Patsy Landrum on Jan 15, 1811 in Williamson Co. TN. He brother was Security and preformed the marriage ceremony. His name was Rev Thomas Landrum. I can't trace back my John Webb past the 1930 TN Census showing he was in the time frame above. One of his daughter's said in her 1880 Ballard Co. KY Census that her father was born in KY and her mother was born in SC. She was right about her mother.
