Webb cousins: Another Webb family reunion takes place after church Sunday, August 5, in Marion County, Hamilton, Alabama (about 30 miles east of Tupelo, MS), at the community center. All Webbs are welcome. These are the Webbs who are descended from William Douglas Webb, born either in New Hampton, New Jersey or New Hampton, New York (Orange Co.) @1810. According to family stories, William's father married at least two times and "raised up a whole new family", and by his second marriage had "four sons who went West." William himself - after many years at sea - debarked in 1842 in Mobile, Alabama. He moved to Tuscaloosa and married Louisa Boyd. After the Civil War, William moved his family to Hamilton, where he eventually died in 1896. William's descendants seem to be particularly creative, because besides the include the usual sprinkling of farmers, truck drivers, police officers, preachers and professionals, they include many artists, writers, actors, and reporters. Was this creative streak provided by William or his wife Louisa? As with all Webb family reunions, bring food and family stories. This year, I'll be taking family information for the book I'm writing about this particular Webb line, so if you do have info on this branch, please either bring it with you (along with old family photos - I'm putting pictures in the book, and can duplicate them there without harm to the pictures) or send info to me via internet at bjwebbb@aol.com Betty Webb, great-great granddaughter of William Douglas Webb and author of "Desert Noir" www.bettywebb-mystery.com
