Notes for JOHN WEBB:
(Note From [email protected] (Rose E Webb)- Mike Webb of Florida-)
William(Sr.) is listed in John Webb's ( My gggg-grandfather) will
dated 27 April 1815 as John's son.The will lists the other living
children as George, Peggy,Elizabeth and Pleasant (my
ggg-grandfather).
The parents of John; however, are unproven.There werea William,
John and Julius Webb in the area and a reference to a James Webb, but
no one claims paternity in the records I have found.It might be
because a John Webb was indicted for getting Elizabeth Snodgrass with
child on May 8,1770 and she was held for having a base child on
March 12, 1771, although the case against her was dismissed on March
9, 1773.Maybe they got married?( But I haven't a marriage).The
things we find when we look under the rug.
A lot of the people in that area came down the valley from
Pennsylvania, but I never got around to looking there.
