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...
Wow. Nice work. Thank you for posting these pictures.
ReplyDeleteHello Nathan,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Wendy Webb and I am related to Robert Clinton Webb which was Cyrus Webb's son. I have been working on my family tree for awhile now and I am very interested in finding out more through this. I am so excited to see the date of 1350. Please if you have any information --- please let me know. I have been wondering if there was a family bible; however, I wouldn't know who to ask about it.
Thank you,
Wendy Webb (Wesson)
