An old article from "Goshen Trails" Henry WEBB, son of Martin, it's believed, married Elizabeth ROUNDTREE, daughter of Thomas, in 1803 Warren County, KY. They along with the Roundtrees, moved as early as 1818 to Washington and Alexander Counties, IL. By 1820, he (Henry) and his wife and eight children were in White County, or what later became Hamilton Couty, IL. Henry and Elizabeth must have had twelve or more children in their thirty-five or so years of marriage. Clara married Rev John PRINCE; Elizabeth married James Henry WRIGHT; Naomi married John N TROUT; Obe married Sarah EVERETTS; Hal Roundtree married Susan BROWN; Sally married Calvin McBROOM; Martin married Ruth Eleanor CLARK; Julia married Tompson FARRIS; and Nancy J married Thomas MARGROVES... ...Henry was in the War of 1812 and had bounty land. He was in Hamilton County as early as 1821 when he joined a Baptist Church. He was a surveyor of roads and land, one of the first Hamilton County court jurors, a farmer and a businessman. He (Henry) established a private cemetery on a high wooded hill on his own land near Lick Creek church. Some of his descendants still attend the church. His grandson Rev Henry Martin WEBB became its first minister. As long as 35 years after the death of Elizabeth and 40 some years after Henry died the children continued to bury their people in the family cemetery. There's proof of 100 or more graves at one time in the private cemetery, besides some used Sneed, New Prospect, Concord, Digby, and other cemeteries as they married and established families... ______________________________
