Bob, My John Webb came in Effingham about 1850. Also I have John Webb's tombstone picture along with his wife Elizabeth. As for George W. Webb, I have him as the son of Uriah Churchill Webb and Mary Francis Fairleigh. Lewis, I have him as the son of James E. Webb. It is possible that George W. Webb may be connected with this family one way or other. I forgot to add one more person. John Webb's Father, I have Julius Webb and unnamed wife.

Webb, a resident of Iowa, purchased the northwest quarter of section 27 in T6N R5E. 2.. Nov 18, 1843 Lewis Webb purchased the east half of the sourthwest quarter of section 26 T6N R5E. 3.. Nov 18, 1843 Isaac H. Webb purchased the south half of the northeast quarter of section 26 T6N R5E. 4.. Nov 18, 1843 Isaiah B. Webb purchased the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter of section 26 T6N R5E. 5.. Aug 4, 1848 Henry H. Webb purchased the northwest quarter of the southwest quarter of section 26 T6N R5E George W. WEBB is the s/o Samuel WEBB and Sarah HALLER of Berks Co., PA, Clark Co., KY, and Orange Co., IN and he appears in the 1850 census in Effingham County before returning to Orange Co., IN by 1853: 1850 US Census, Effingham Co., IL, p. 669: George W Webb, 38, b. KY; Edith, 31, b. IN; Jane A, 18, b. OH; Sarah E, 11, b. IN; Mary Jane, 9, b. IN; Lewis H, 6, b. IL; Harriet, 4, b. IL Lewis, Isaac, and Henry all purchased land in the same section and only about 1/2 mile from George WEBB's land. Isaac is probably George's brother but all are probably either siblings of George or possibly the sons of his brother Benjamin. It isn't clear whether any of them other than George actually lived in Effingham County as most all of them appear in the 1850 & 1860 census of Orange Co., IN. Or perhaps I'm mistaken about all except George. I haven't had the time to actually pursue looking for deeds as the research wasn't taking me where I wanted to go at the time. One thing that is very interesting about the 1850 census record above is that in the family is a Jane A. WEBB who is not likely the daughter of George and she was also born in Ohio. So far I've seen no evidence that any of Samuel WEBBs family ever resided in Ohio so her presence is a mystery. I've not been able to locate her before or after 1850. The exact ancestry of Samuel WEBB, b. 1762 SC according to the DAR record, father or grandfather of these WEBBs, has not been established although some believe he was the son of Benjamin WEBB b. 1732 Berks Co., PA. However, there is nothing that supports this and there is evidence to indicate it may not be true. As to whether there is any connection of your John WEBB b. 1784 I couldn't say but it might be worth investigating. When did your John WEBB arrive in Effingham County and do you know anything about possible siblings in the Jefferson Co., KY area?
