Life

Levi Webb was born on 9 April 1789 in Wilkes County, Georgia, according to the FamilySearch tree, which names his parents as Charles C. Webb (1767–1849) and his first wife, Sarah Waggoner (1757–1799), and gives no source for the date.1 The tree records his marriage to Rebecca Shields on 29 December 1823 in Morgan County, Georgia, again without an attached record, and seven children of that marriage: Almeda A. (born 1825), Charles Lafayette (1826–1902), William H. (1829–1909), John M. (1830), James L. (1833–1919), Levi W. (1836–1892) and Rebecca S. (1838).2 It also lists Levi W. and a James Webb in a second family with no mother named, and two further wives whose names it does not know, recorded only as "?".3 Inference These look like duplicate or placeholder entries rather than further marriages, since the Levi W. of the second family has the same identifier as the son of Rebecca, but the tree gives no source for any of them.3 The federal census of 1860 lists a Levi Webb in the Livingston District of Floyd County, Georgia, where the tree also places his death in 1860, without a day or month.4 His sister Sarah Jane and her husband Martin Kinard had settled in Floyd County by 1840, and Sarah Jane was living in the same Livingston District in 1860.5
