Research notes for James Webb Jr.
From extract in "18th -Century Virginia Newspapers". Pg 360 (Hampton Library)
"Webb, Family, HCC, 12 May 1796: Francis Webb, James Gray and Lucy his wife, James WEBB, Albion THROCKMORTON and Mary his wife, William WEBB, Geo. WEBB, and Wm F. TUNSTALL and Jane his wife, which Francis WEBB, James WEBB, Wm. WEBB, and Geo. WEBB are sons of James WEBB(Who was brother of Thomas WEBB dec'd and legatee of the sd. Thomas) and which Lucy, Mary, and Jane are daus. of the sd. James WEBB last mentioned and legatees of the sd. Thomas, Samuel[SAMITH] and Mary his wife and Philip [VASS] and Eliz. his wife, which Mary and Eliz. are sisters and legatees of the sd. Thomas, and Overton CROSBY a legatee of the sd. Thomas (pltfs.) and Rawleight Colston admr. with the testament annexed of Thomas WEBB and surviving partner of Webb & Colston (def.) (WG 25 Sep 99)"
This last gives a good listing of the family of son James.
note Bible Records of this James give his age as 75 at time of death in 1771....this conflicts with birthdate given of 1705 and would indicate that he is mislisted here or someone made an incorrect statement of his age in the family bible after his death. According to his recorded birthdate, he would have been 65 at the time of his death.
