Life

Margaret Green was born on 26 December 1790, according to the FamilySearch tree, which places her birth in Newton County, Georgia, without a source and records no parents for her.1 On 23 September 1810 she married John Webb, a son of Charles C. Webb and Sarah Waggoner, in Jasper County, Georgia; the Georgia marriage indexes spell her name "Margret".2 The tree names twelve children of the marriage, born between 1812 and 1835: Charles Green (1812–1883), Francis Marion (1813–1839), Sarah Frances (1816–1852), William Henry (1817–1849), Edmund Berry (1819–1875), Nancy (1821–1902), John Wilson (1825–1864), Margaret (1828–1844), James Monroe (1830–1899), a second Sarah Frances (1832–1905), George Washington (1834–1925) and Mary Jane (1835–1924).3 Inference The tree's two daughters named Sarah Frances, the first still living when the second was born, may be one person entered twice, and should be checked.3 A daughter Elizabeth (1811–1849) is listed under her husband with no mother recorded.4 Inference Born the year after the marriage, Elizabeth was probably Margaret's daughter too, but the tree does not link them.4 The family lived in Jasper County in 1820 and later in Monroe County, Georgia.5 Margaret died on 7 July 1843 in Monroe County and was buried in the Webb Cemetery there.6 Searches of the Chronicling America newspaper collection for a death notice under her own and her married names found nothing, as expected, since it holds no newspaper published in Georgia for those years.7

Open questions

  • Nothing printed in Georgia for 1805–1844 is in Chronicling America. Try Georgia Historic Newspapers (Milledgeville and Macon papers) when the portal stops returning 429; and the Webb Cemetery, Monroe County, on Find a Grave when that resumes.

  7. 2026-11-08Assessment: the six pilot searches with no matches (Margaret Green / Mrs John Webb / Margaret Webb, Georgia, 1805–1844)Negative results are expected rather than informative: no Georgia-published title for 1805–1844 is in Chronicling America's Georgia facet (the facet returns Charleston, Memphis and Chattanooga papers that moved to Georgia during the war). The Milledgeville papers that served Jasper County (Georgia Journal 1809–1845, Southern Recorder 1820–1872, Federal Union 1830–1861) and the Macon papers are on Georgia Historic Newspapers, which returned 429 today; a death or estate notice for 1843 would be sought there. No match, no document record.
