Headstone of Charles Webb (1767–1849), Webb Cemetery, Blount, Monroe County, Georgia
11 April 2026 · Photograph by Matt Wade
Named here: Charles C Webb
Transcription
An upright marble tablet, its top edge square, standing against the inside of a dry-stone wall, in the woods of the Webb Cemetery. The face is stained and worn; the letters are cut in a mixture of capitals and lower case:
CHARLES WEB, / Was Born April 17th / 1767. / Died May 23d. 1849.
How it was read: in Matt's photograph, enhanced (contrast, and a high-pass filter to flatten the staining), "CH[AR]LES WEB", "Was Born A[pril] 1[7]", the "7" of the year line and "D[ie]d May 2[3] … [18]49" can be read; the rest is too worn to read on its own. The full wording above is confirmed from Doug Bauman's clearer photograph of the same tablet on Find a Grave (photo 112948892, added 13 November 2014), which reads it plainly, with one B in "WEB" and the comma after it. Nothing else is cut on the face: no birthplace and no epitaph. A rule is cut under the death line.

What it says, against the tree
Each fact this record gives, set beside what the FamilySearch tree says: it agrees, it is new (the tree lacks it), it conflicts, or it is context.
