Notes for Theophilus G Webb
Theophiylus [or Theophilus] G Webb is probably NOT the son of William Smith Webb and Nancy Clowers. The history of the Perdue family shows that Theophilus G Webb born about 1805 in Virginia had sisters named Nancy and Elizabeth but both sisters married into the Perdue family.183 There is strong reason to believe that William Smith Webb’s Elizabeth married Owen Griffith and Nancy married Thomas Latimer. Matching with the work of Nonie Webb, I believe he is probably the son of Joseph (son of Samuel, son of William).

Scholastic Population of 1838 for Sumner County, Tennessee shows that Theophilus Webb was in District 17 and had two children in school at that time.184
