Hello,
I recently joined the list and would like to post my interests in
Clark County. My GGG-Grandfather was:
John WEBB b. 15 Nov 1786 in NC
m. Elizabeth (maiden name unknown)
Elizabeth probably b. bet. 1786-1790 in VA
John d. 25 Jan 1856
Elizabeth d. 18 Mar 1853
Both are buried in Smith Cemetery, Warren TWP, Clinton Co., IN
They had 4 known children as of this time:
William WEBB (my GG-Grandfather)
b. abt 1816 in IN
m. Penelope LINEBACK, 3 Jan 1836, McLean Co., IL
d. Unknown
Elizabeth WEBB
b. abt 1818 in IN
m. Wharton CONNER, 28 Mar 1835, Switzerland Co., IN
Wharton died sometime between 1838 and 1840.
Elizabeth remarried Peter SMITH, Jr., 24 Nov 1840, Switzerland Co., IN
d. 15 June 1856
George W. WEBB
b. 2 July 1825 in IN
m. Sarah "Ollie" SMITH, 7 Apr 1843, Switzerland Co., IN
Sarah was a daughter of Peter Smith, Jr.
d. 24 May 1863
Sarah WEBB
b. 1830 in IN
m. James M. SMITH, 28 Oct 1845, Switzerland Co., IN
James was a son of Peter SMITH., Jr.
d. Unknown
I have located John and Elizabeth and William and Penelope in the 1840
Switzerland Co., IN census living next door to each other. Of the 4
John WEBB Families listed in the 1820 IN census, the family in Clark
Co., IN has me interested. Age breakdowns for John, William,
Elizabeth (the daug) all fit with what is known.
Elizabeth (the wife) possibly even fits.
The other 3 John Webb Families don't fit.
If this were my WEBB family there are a number of other children I
need to
locate.
Are there any Clark Co. researchers who might have knowledge of the
1820 John WEBB family listed in the census or any knowledge of the
other surnames mentioned. I would enjoy comparing notes.
Regards,
Bill
