• Notes

  John's parents were Wm Webb 1717-1763 Heathsville, Northumberland, VA & Martha Dore 1714 England - 1766 Fairfax, Fairfax, VA. John married Rachel Catherine Davis 1749-1834 in 1767 in Fairfax, Fairfax, VA. Their children were: Mary Elizabeth; Thomas; Elizabeth; Elisha; John; William; Huldah; Joseph D.; James; George; Hannah; & John (Brig. General) Webb. John (Sr.) was a patriot of the Revolutionary War. In 1797 John & his family moved to Ohio & settled in Lost Creek Twp., Miami, OH. In 1810, John was listed on the Dayton Twp, Montgomery Co., OH Tax List, p. 011 Catabase, OH 1810 Washington Co., Census Index. John Webb was born in the parish of Doulting, Somerset County, England and died in Hardy County, Virginia (now West Virginia). John emigrated to the colonies prior to the American Revolution; just when is not known. It is presumed that he first settled in Cumberland, County, Pennsylvania with other family members that emigrated at an earlier date. It was determined he stayed in Pennsylvania until about 1790 when he moved to Hardy County where he established a tan yard. He then trained his sons in the same business. Members of the family that died were buried near the family home and the graves were marked with field stones. The early burial grounds near the house were officially separated in 1855 with one and one half acres set aside for burials and is now known as the Brill cemetery. John Webb, his wife Catherine aka Rachael, sons James, and George were also buried in this location. John Webb's grandson, James, and family are buried in the Asbury Church grave yard located about seven miles East of Moorefield, West Virginia. John and Catherine aka Rachael had 11 children. The following children are listed in birth order: John, b 19 Sept 1776; William, b 6 March 1778; Thomas, b 1 Jan 1780; Ann, b 18 Jul 1781; Mary, b 1 Jul 1782 ; James. b 29 May 1784; Samuel, b Apr 1786; George, b July 1787; Johnathan. b May 1789; Joseph, b 17 Sept 1791; Archibald, b 2 Dec 1795. John Webb provided supplies to the Continental Army during the American Revolution.
