Broken ledger stone, very probably of Edmund Jefferson Webb (1808–1878), Webb Cemetery, Blount, Monroe County, Georgia
11 April 2026 · Photograph by Matt Wade
Named here: Edmund Jefferson Webb
Transcription
A flat marble ledger stone on the ground, broken across its upper end (the broken piece lies tilted against it), the face covered in lichen and worn nearly smooth. Read from Matt's photograph with contrast and high-pass enhancement:
[illegible line] / [ED]MUND JE[FFER]SON WE[BB] / 2[illegible] / [illegible] / [illegible]
Only the second line can be read with any confidence: "…MUND JE" and "…SON W…" are clear in the enhanced image, with the letters between too faint to make out. A line beginning with "2" follows; the rest is lost.
Citation: Photograph of the headstone of Edmund Jefferson Webb (as very probably identified), Webb Cemetery, Blount, Monroe County, Georgia, taken by Matt Wade on 11 April 2026.
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.
| Person | Fact | Document says | Tree says | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edmund Jefferson Webb | Name | "[ED]MUND JE[FFER]SON WE[BB]" (partly read) | Edmund Jefferson Webb | agrees, as far as it can be read |
| Edmund Jefferson Webb | Birth and death | illegible (a line beginning "2"; the tree's birth is 20 September 1808) | 20 Sep 1808; 18 Sep 1878 | context: nothing legible |
| Edmund Jefferson Webb | Burial | Webb Cemetery, Blount, Monroe County (where the slab lies) | 1878, Webb Cemetery, Blount, Monroe, Georgia, United States | agrees |
