It seems he came from Newtown ( now Cambridge, MA ) with Rev. Thomas Hooker and was listed as one of Hartfords first settlers. See ( http://www.colonialwarsct.org/1636.htm ) There was a Richard Webb mentioned arriving (with wife Elizabeth) on with The Winthrop Fleet 1630 (as in Govenor Winthrop of Massachusetts ). Listed as a "Freeman" in Cambridge in 1632 ( same Richard? ) Biography of John Adams mentions a cousin Richard Webb going to Harvard. It seems there were too many Richard Webbs in CT. Can the DNA testing prove anything? We have a WEBB in the DNA Project who claims descent from Richard Webb (1611, Warwickshire, England - 1675, Stamford, Fairfield, CT). I know that someone contested the claim, but I do not know the outcome of the contesting. DNA for this line matches a number of Southern WEBBs from Essex & IOW Co, VA, Nash and Franklin Co, NC and GA. It's my own group of WEBBs. However, we do not have enough WEBBs from NEw England with genealogies back to CT WEBBs to distinguish between Richard WEBBs. Would love to have more NEW ENGLAND WEBBs. Anne
