Please fwd them to anyone who might be able to provide a lead. If you have any suggestions they are very welcome!! Descendants of Jonathon Sr. Webb GenerationNo. 1 1. JONATHON SR.1 WEBB. He married RACHEL LEWIS According to the book, TheLewis Family" by William G. Lewis, Jonathon Webb Sr. was in the War of 1812. Children of JONATHON WEBB and RACHEL LEWIS are :2. i. JOHNATHON JR.2 WEBB. ii. RUTH WEBB m. HUGH BRISTON HISTORY OF HUGH AND RUTHWEBB BRISON Given by Mrs. Jennie AilesCrawford and Her Sister Emma. Ruth Webb married Hugh Brison at the age of 17 years, and started with him from old Virginia with a small amount of clothes tied up in a bundle, and some bear skins to ride on. They both rode one horse when the loads were good and when rough she would ride and he walked and led the horse. They were several days on the road. At night they made their bed of leaves and had the skins for covering. They came to some friends in White Water' Valley (White Water River IN ) and in a short time Hugh, with some other men built the White Water Valley Fort, near the site of Old Gap school house between Laurel and Metamora in Franklin County, Indiana. In this fort the two oldest children, Virginia and Hiram were born. Virginia, the eldest, born 1813, married David Weston, a brother of John Weston, who married Nellie Lewis. Great Grandfather Hugh Brison was a great Indian fighter but he did so many good deeds among them that they both loved and feared him. Our great grandmother, Ruth Webb Brison, used to tell us how the big buck Indians would come to their cabin and stand and look down at her baby in its cradle and say," Dam Blice." That is what they called great grandfather Brison. Sometimes they would kick the ashes and coals out of the fire place and dance in it with their bare feet and almost scare her to death, but when she would go to the door and call to grandfather,they would all run for the timber as fast as they could go. She lived to be past 100 years old and we have heard her tell this story many times. Our grandmother, Virginia Weston, lived to be 93 years old and was very proud of the fact that her grandfather Brison and her grandfather Webb and six brothers were in the Revolutionary War. Her father, Hugh Brison and his three brothers were in the War of 1812. (Editor's Note: In theRevolutionary War records of North Carolina may be found the names of only seven men by the name of Webb, who served in the Tenth Regiment. They are as follows: Joseph Webb, enlisted May 20, 1777; Jno. Webb, enlisted September 1,1777; James Webb, enlisted July 20, 1778; Jacob Webb, enlisted April 12, 1781; Rice Webb, enlisted April 12, 1781; Samuel Webb, enlisted August 1, 1782 and Lewis Webb, musician, enlisted August 1, 1782.) (Editor's Note: In theFranklin County records may be found an interesting story of the slaying of Kilbuck, the renegade Indian who had killed a boy near Stips Hill, and was tracked by a party of men and killed by Hugh Brison, son of John Brison. The records of the War Department show that Hugh Brison served in the war of 1812 as a Private in Captain William T. Huff's Company of Militia, Seventh Regiment,Indiana Territory. His service commenced March 13, 1813, and ended June 17,1813. This is the same Company in which William George 11 served.) The source and Editor of this narrative whomade these Notes is unknown iii.

Notes for RUTH WEBB: Ruth was born in Rush Co.,IN and according to the book, The Lewis Family, Pioneers of Eastern TN and IN Terr. by William G. Lewis, Ruth's Father was Jonathon Webb Jr. implying that his Father was also Jonathon. Notes for HOLMAN EASTES: Holman Eastes was born in what is now Union County, IN, February 21, 1817, which was four years before that county was erected as a separate civic entity, his parents having been among the early pioneers on what then was the western frontier of settlement, for it was not until in the year following that the lands west in central Indiana were ceded to the government by the Indians. Before the lands in what is now Hancock County IN were all taken up, Obediah Eastes, father of Holman Eastes, moved over into that part of the state, entered a tract of land for a home and there became a permanent resident. It was thus that Holman Eastes became a resident of Hancock county. In Rush County on December 22, 1886 he married Ruth Webb. He established his home in the Mt. Comfort neighborhood in Hancock County and there remained until in 1856 when he moved to the neighboring County of Madison and established his home on a farm in the Summitville neighborhood. In1878 he disposed of his interests there and moved to the neighboring county of Grant, where his last days were spent, his death occurring on February 27,1880. His widow survived him for more than twenty years, her death occurring on April 8, 1901. Holman Eastes was a Republican, a Methodist and a Freemason. For years he served his local public as justice of the peace and was widely knownas 'Squire Eastes. To him and his wife were born eleven children.Holman Eastesis buried in the IOOF Cem, Marion, Grant Co., IN <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< End of this record >>>>>>>>>>>>> Best Regards Roy Eastes <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
