Life

Charles Hackett Webb was born on 13 January 1802 in Georgia, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives the date without a source.1 He was the eldest of the six children the tree gives Charles C. Webb (1767–1849) and his second wife, Mary S. Burleson, called Polly (1777–1827), who had married in Warren County, Georgia, on 25 December 1800.2 His mother was then a widow: she had married Richard Hackett in South Carolina in 1792 and had two daughters by him, Elizabeth and Salita Hackett, and the Georgia marriage index records her marriage to Charles Webb under the name Polly Hackett.3 Inference His middle name, Hackett, was therefore probably taken from his mother's first husband and his half-sisters' family, though no record says so.3 His father also had eight children by his first wife, Sarah Waggoner, who had died in January 1799.4 His mother died in Jasper County, Georgia, on 23 July 1827.5

Marriage and family

On 1 January 1828 he married Malinda Bailey in Monroe County, Georgia; the county marriage index spells his name "Charles H. Wibb".6 The tree gives the marriage place three times over, in slightly different forms, all Monroe County.6 It names seven children: Joel Bailey (1828–1854), James A. (1830–1855), Thomas J. (born 1831), Martha J. (born 1835), Charles David (1839–1923), Malinda Caroline Virginia (1845–1891) and W. M. (born 1850).7 Inference The eldest son's middle name, Bailey, follows his mother's maiden name.7 Two sons, Joel and James, died in 1854 and 1855.7

Georgia to Alabama

The federal census of 1850 lists "Charels Webb" in Meriwether County, Georgia, with Malinda in his household, and the tree places his son Charles David in the same county that year.8 By 1860 the family was in the 2nd Subdivision of Coosa County, Alabama, where the census lists Charles H. Webb with Malinda; the same census subdivision held the household of W. D. Walden.9 On 30 August 1860 his son Charles D. Webb married Clarrissa Jane Carlisle in Coosa County.10 The census of 1870 lists C. H. Webb, again with Malinda, in Alabama.11 In August 1912 a newspaper report of the reunion of Charles David Webb's family at the old homestead near Kellyton named, among the relatives present, Mr. and Mrs. William M. Webb, Charles David's brother.12

Death and burial

The tree gives his death as 30 December 1876 in Meriwether County, Georgia, but places his burial in the Webb Family Cemetery at Kellyton, Coosa County, Alabama, where Malinda was also buried after her death at Kellyton in 1882.13 Inference Since the family had lived in Coosa County since at least 1860, the Meriwether death place looks like a confusion with the family's earlier home, and Kellyton is the likelier place of death; no death record is attached to settle it.13 The Find a Grave index has an entry for him as Charles Hackett Webb.14 His son's Alabama death record of 1923 names Malinda Bailey as the mother, but indexes the father under the son's own name, Charles David Webb.15 Inference That is most likely an informant's or indexer's slip rather than evidence of a different father, since the mother's name agrees with the tree.15

Open questions

Where was the 1828 marriage recorded? (raised 2026-11-09)

A photocopied abstract in the Watson Family File gives "WEBB, Charles H. & Malinda Bailey Jan 1, 1828" on a page annotated "Henry County"; the FamilySearch index and the tree say Monroe County. Check the original Monroe County marriage book; Henry County's only if Monroe has no entry.
