Notes for William Webb
William Webb was the first of the family to move to Granville Co., North Carolina. He settled there in about 1778.592
William was born May 1, 1745 and married Frances Young in Essex County, Virginia May 1, 1771 and moved to North Carolina and settled at Tallyho, Granville County in 1776, where he died April 11, 1809. His old homestead has always remained in possession of the family, and is now owned and occupied by his grandson, John H. Webb. Here he engaged in tobacco planting, but in the latter part of his life he gave up his planting interest to his sons and devoted himself to benevolent work. He was an Elder in the presbyterian church and gave most of his time to the relief of the poor in two neighboring churches, relieving their wants, giving medical aid and medicines to the sick, and administering spiritual comfort to the doubting. (Written by Dr. Robert Dickins Webb in 1894)571
William served in Captain Edwin Hull’s company, Fifteenth Virginia Regiment.754
