Very interested in the Richard Webb who married Delilah Cale. Delilah was beaten to death in either Bertie or Perquimans County in 1806 by a Billups family. All, or some of the participants were of Indian heritage. Said to be Cherokee, but suspect Tuscarora or Nansemond Indian or perhaps some other tribe, since the area they were living in was close, perhaps on, an area set aside for Indians after the Indian War of 1711. My grandson's fith great grandfather was John Webb, Sr. of Edgecombe County, NC, and he is believed to have a brother named Richard Webb who came to Edgecombe County somewhere about the 1780s, because he and his son, "Long John" Webb are both listed on the Edgecombe County 1790 Census. Long John nicknamed Long John because of his height. The Edgecombe County, NC Richard has a son that is unaccounted for, and the Richard Webb mentioned above fits the time line. The above Richard is said to be the son of Zachariah Webb, but if I remember correctly, Zachariah Webb may have had Quaker connections and I don't see anything in the Quaker records giving me a connection for this family. The first mentioned Richard Webb married Delilah Cale and lived near Edenton in 1806, whereas the Edgecombe County Richard Webb was already living in and paying taxes in Edgecombe County, NC by 1790. He died about 1822. John Webb, Sr. of Edgecombe County "hired" himself out several times during the Revolutionary War (a teenager) suggesting that he, or his family (Not Married) needed money. I have my own thoughts for this family, but have yet to find documentation. He was also drafted for a six period. He filed for a Revolutionary War pension in 1832 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina and received a pension. His pension claim states that he went home to Nansemond County, Va., but there is some question as to whether he actually lived in Virginia or North Carolina. He was married in Gates County North Carolina in 1785 to Theresa Duke. If you have the court records for the first mentioned Richard Webb's wife, Delilah Cale, who was beaten to death by a Billups family in 1806, would you please share with me? I am very interested in looking at them to see if I can find a connection. Thank you very much. Faye Hays
