Webb Family of Braintree - 1 & 2nd Generations: Christopher and Christopher Jr


Christopher Webb 1599-1671

Christopher Webb, Jr 1630-1694

The Webb Family of Braintree MA, Preliminary Statements.


For more about why the early American Webb's left England see this page: http://webb.skinnerwebb.com/gpage1.html

Found Webb Family Record as of 1899 -- lots of info here...

Have found a Webb Family Genealogy Document that I plan to review and post about here. It is the line of the Webbs descended from first American settler, Christopher Webb, Sr. 

It appears to have been prepared in 1899, by James Brinthall Webb, grandson of William Webb shown above. His father was Lewis Morgan Webb brother of my ancestor Jonathan Webb.

He added to a document compiled by Leonard V. Webb, grandson of Dr. William Henry Webb, another brother of my ancestor Jonathan Webb, based on family history and Vinton's Giles Genealogy.

I'm hoping it may be useful to others who are studying this branch of the Webb family history. I don't have time to retype the pages and they are too delicate to scan so I will photograph them. The individual pages won't be indexed by Google as they are photographs, but hopefully I can put enough information on the post for interested parties to find the pictures of the pages they want to see. 



There are also references to input from George F Webb, historian, who published a book: "Webb Genealogy from 1350" - Dr. George F. Webb - 1900"

More to come...
