Life

Edmund Jefferson Webb was born on 20 September 1808 in Warren County, Georgia, according to the FamilySearch tree, which names his parents as Charles C. Webb (1767–1849) and his second wife, Mary S. Burleson (1777–1827).1 On 11 June 1835 Edmund J. Webb married Louisa Jane Robertson; the Georgia county marriage index records the date, and the tree places the wedding at Forsyth, Monroe County, Georgia, her birthplace.2 The tree names four children: Charles Jefferson (1836–1855), Mary Jane (1840–1909), Martha Frances (1843–1926) and Elizabeth Virginia (1847–1935).3 His father also lived in Monroe County: Charles C. Webb died at Blount, Monroe County, in May 1849 and was buried in the Webb Cemetery there.4 The census of 1860 lists E. J. Webb, with Louisa Jane in the household, in District 632 of Monroe County, one of the numbered militia districts into which Georgia counties were divided, and the census of 1870 again lists him in Monroe County.5 He also appears in the Georgia tax digests, the county lists of taxpayers and their property, in Monroe County.6 Four files in the Confederate Papers Relating to Citizens or Business Firms, the records of the Confederate government's dealings with civilians, chiefly payments for goods and services supplied, carry his name for the years 1861 to 1865.7 Inference They show that he did business with the Confederate authorities during the war, but what he supplied is not recorded here, since the files have not been read.7 He died at Blount on 18 September 1878 and was buried in the Webb Cemetery there, the tree says; the Find a Grave index has an entry for him.8 His daughter Martha Frances Morgan's Georgia death record of 1926 names her parents as Edmund Webb and Jane Robertson.9
