Life

Joel Bailey Webb was born in Meriwether County, Georgia, on 12 December 1828, the eldest son of Charles Hackett Webb and Malinda Bailey, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date.1 Inference His middle name is his mother's maiden name, and his birth less than a year after his parents' marriage in Monroe County, Georgia, on 1 January 1828 fits his place as the eldest child.2 The federal census of 1850 lists him as Joel B. Webb in his father's household in Meriwether County, where the index spells the father's name "Charels Webb."3 On 23 December 1851, in Meriwether County, he married Miriam Snelson, who in 1850 had been living in the household of John Snelson in the same county.4 The tree names two children, John Charles Webb (1852–1932) and Martha Ann Webb (1854–1909).5 The Georgia death record of John C. Webb in 1932 gives his father's name as "John C Webb" and his mother's as "Mary Nelson," as the index reads them.6 Inference Both names are most likely garbled forms of Joel Webb and Mary (Miriam) Snelson, supplied by an informant long after the father's death, rather than evidence against the tree's parentage.6 The tree gives his death as 11 November 1854, in Meriwether County, without a source; his widow married William A. Radney in 1863.7 His younger brother James A. Webb married Sarah Frances Snelson in 1855.8 Inference Sarah was listed with Miriam in John Snelson's household in 1850, so the two brothers very probably married two sisters.8
