GEORGE W. WEBB

George W. Webb was born in North Carolina in about 1820. With his wife, Henrietta Jane, and family, he moved to Texas in the early 1850s from DeSoto County, Mississippi. The couple was enumerated with one child in the 1850 census of DeSoto County residing in the Southern Division, where George was a farmer.
By1860, they were enumerated in the census of Montgomery County with four children. The youngest three children were born in Texas. George’s wife was H. J. in 1860, and she was born in about 1824 in South Carolina.
G. W. Webb joined the Danville Mounted Riflemen sometime after September, 1861. He was listed as a private on the muster roll of Feb. 14, 1862.
He did not join the Second Texas Lancers with Captain Wooldridge, probably because he was over age at the beginning of the war. He may have continued serving in the local militia.
George W. and his family moved to Williamson County after the war. They were living in the area of Pond Springs at the time of the 1870 census. His wife was Henrietta, and there were five children in the family.
George W. Webb, born in 1820 in North Carolina, is listed with wife Jane on the 1880 census of Montague County, Texas. Montague County is east of Wichita Falls on the Oklahoma border. Henrietta and Jane appear to be the same person. Nothing further is known of George W. and Henrietta Jane Webb.

Information was compiled from county and census records.
