WEBB Families

Virginia, Ohio and Indiana.

I can only confirm James and Lucy WEBB with the other WEBB's from internet sources like the Cheska WHEATLEY web site and Ancestry.com. The WEBB's arrival in America in 1629 makes them my first family in North America. Eleventh great-grandfather Richard WEBB arrived in Salem, Massechusetts in May or June 1629 on board the ship Lyon from Bristol, Thames, Gravesend, England on April 5, 1629 with 5 other ships.

The WEBB Family Genealogy - Life is the Past Lane links our line to our 36th President Lyndon Baines Johnson making me an 8th cousin 3 times removed.

The WEBB Family Genealogy site claims we are descended from a long line of British Knights who served the Kings of England including Henry VIII. The most astounding claim of this web site is our relationship to the famous British writer William Shakespeare whose grandmothers are both WEBB sisters in our WEBB family line.

My fourth great-grandparents Mary "Polly" WEBB 1780-1818 Franklin County, Virginia and Greene County, Ohio and Martin KINGERY 1774-1865 Pennsylvania to Greene County, Ohio to Union County, Indiana. His tombstone says he was around 91 years old making him one of my oldest ancestors.

Mary's parent's were James WEBB before 1755-1808 Franklin County, Virginia to Greene County, Ohio and Lucy before 1755-1823 Franklin County, Virginia to Greene County, Ohio to Montgomery County, Ohio.

James' parents were Jacob WEBB 1730-after 1788 of Franklin County, Virginia and Mary Molly AUSTIN 1723-1788 New Kent and Wythe Counties, Virginia, perhaps daughter of John AUSTIN of England.

Jacob's parents were John WEBB 1690-1736 perhaps New Kent and Henrico Counties, Virginia and Hannah CARTER 1693-1747 of Henrico County, Virginia.

John's parents were John WEBB died before 1725 and Sarah.

I never met Cheska Wheatley, but I found her KINGERY and WEBB family web pages years ago that were a big help with these families. I subscribed to the Quaker Roots List for a number of years where she was the moderator. I never felt I had time to email her and now it is too late. She passed away November 30, 2003.
