Notes
!From Chadwick's History of Shelby Co., Indiana
The founder of the family of this name in Shelby county was a Pennsylvanian,
domesticated awhile in Kentucky, but with the restlessness of the time he
migrated again to Indiana and located in Shelby county on the old Ephraim
Tucker farm on Sugar Creek, near Second Mount Pleasant church. But the
migratory spirit still stirred within him and his next move was to Ozark,
Missouri. There he was stricken with a fatal sickness and three of his sons
walked to Ozark in the dead of winter, riding horseback the last day, to be
present at his bedside. The old pioneer ordered them to bury him in the
mountains, and after the melancholy duty had been performed they started back
to Indiana in a wagon drawn by oxen, bringing their mother with them. All this
occurred in about 1835, and the mother, after residing with her children for
twelve years, closed her earthly career in 1855. John G. Webb, one of her sons,
married Manda Clark and later moved to Franklin, Indiana, where he went into
the dry goods business, but later became a blacksmith and still later ran a
grist mill at Columbus. He died at Indianapolis in April, 1888, having
survived his wife forty years, her death occurring in Franklin in 1848. James
Davis Webb was the son of John G. Webb.
