Notes for John Henry Webb
Married once before marrying Josie. Five children but only two living in 1910.4878

The 1900 census of Marsh Fork, Raleigh County, WV has an entry that I believe is this family, but the birth years and places don’t match up correctly. Here is the listing:

Henry Webb, born March 1852 in West Virginia--age 48.
Josie Webb, born May 1874 in West Virginia--age 26.
Mary Webb, born February 1895 in West Virginia--age 5.
Louisa F Webb, born December 1898 in West Virginia--age 1.

The page is full of Webbs (Joseph Webb [March 1863], Daniel Webb [March 1850?], and Lewis Webb [January 1875]) and all of them are listed as being second-generation West Virginians.4899

There was a Webb son born May 9, 1911 in Jap, Raleigh County, WV to Henry and Josie Webb. Would be a late child but could be a 6th child of this family.

All sources of data are documented on the “Person Sheet” for each individual. My early data often came from less-than-reliable sources (e.g., “Sarah’s genealogy pages”). If the only sources for a person is something like that or worse there is no listed source for data, please take the information as only a suggestion and not a fact.
