I am trying a new angle to see if I can trace some of my family tree. In the Froning from Westfalen and Rust/Lubbers from Ostfriesland I found that Mary Catherine Froning b. 25 Oct 1857 was married to Omer Hazzard Webb b. April 7, 1856 on 12 Mar 1879 in Silver Creek Township, Stephenson County, Illinois. I have pictures of Omer, Mary and their children, Harry O. and Ruth. Omer Hazzard Webb is the brother of Andrew Jackson Webb b. November 27, 1844 in Illinois who is my grandfather. The parents are Joshua Webb b. Jan 3, 1802 and Mary Ann Seely. Their parents are William Webb and Elizabeth Roup. This is as far as I progressed with any certainty. Some of out fellow researchers have given me information on some of these people but as yet I have no information that will stand up to scrutiny. One of the possibilities is descending from John Webb and Mary Boone through Samuel Webb and Rebecca Paine. So far I can find no descendants from Samuel and Rebecca. One son of William Webb and Elizabeth Roup is names Thomas Paine Webb. August 12, 1808. If anybody has any information on this line please help me out. Jim, Chehalis, Washington
