Life

Charles Webb was born on 17 April 1767, according to the FamilySearch tree, which places his birth in Halifax County, Virginia, without an attached source.1 A user-supplied source migrated into his profile gives the same date but the place as "Halifax, Camden, Georgia", so even the state of his birth is uncertain.2 The tree calls him Charles C. Webb, but no record found so far gives a middle initial: the marriage indexes name him Charles or "Charls" Webb.3

Sarah Waggoner and Wilkes County

The tree records his first marriage, to Sarah Waggoner, on 21 December 1786 in Wilkes County, Georgia, though no record of the marriage is attached to either profile.4 Sarah, born on 12 December 1757 by the tree's account, was about ten years older than her husband.5 The tree gives them eight children: John Waggoner (born 8 October 1787), Levi (9 April 1789), James (30 April 1790), Sarah Jane (20 April 1792), Frances "Fanny" Phoebe (15 April 1794), Mary "Polly" (5 November 1795), Ann (5 April 1797) and Susannah (1 January 1799).6 The tree places the births of Levi and James in Wilkes County and those of Fanny, Polly and Ann in Warren County.7 Sarah died on 15 January 1799, two weeks after the birth of her daughter Susannah, by the tree's dates.8

Polly Hackett and Warren and Jasper Counties

On 25 December 1800 Charles Webb married Polly Hackett; the Georgia marriage indexes record the bride under that name, and the tree, which places the marriage in Warren County, identifies her as Mary S. "Polly" Burleson, the widow of Richard Hackett.9 Six more children followed, according to the tree: Charles Hackett (born 13 January 1802), Aaron Burleson (10 April 1806), Edmund Jefferson (20 September 1808), Martha Sutton (11 February 1811), and the twins David Christopher and Jonathan Daniel (7 September 1814).10 The first four were born in Warren County, the twins in Jasper County.10 Inference The move to Jasper County between 1811 and 1814 is suggested by those birthplaces alone; no land or tax record has been found to date it.10 Polly Webb died in Jasper County on 23 July 1827 and was buried at Shady Dale; Find a Grave indexes her memorial as Mrs. Mary Hackett Burleson Webb.11

Mary Easters and Margaret Bailey

On 24 December 1829 "Charls Webb" married Mary Easters, a marriage the tree places in Jasper County, with Warren County as an alternative.12 Mary Webb died in Monroe County, Georgia, on 21 March 1846, and was buried in the Webb Cemetery there.13 On 17 December 1846 Charles Webb married Margaret Bailey, whose earlier marriage, as Margarett Newton, to Stephen Bailey had taken place in 1827; the tree places the 1846 marriage in Butts County.14 No children of the last two marriages are recorded.15

Charles Webb died on 23 May 1849 at Blount, Monroe County, and was buried in the Webb Cemetery at Blount, where Find a Grave indexes his memorial.16 The tree gives his widow the same date and place of death, but a Margaret Webb was enumerated in 1850 in the household of C. F. Newton in Butts County, which casts doubt on the tree's date.17 Inference The identical date and place suggest that hers was copied from his by mistake.17

Open questions

Where was his house, and does it still stand? (raised 2026-11-09)

A Vanishing Georgia photograph of about 1898 (Georgia Archives, item mnr058; record) shows a house in Monroe County that "was built before 1849 by Charles Webb and is located in the northern part of the county," with his granddaughter Mary Jane Webb Ham in front; the caption adds "The house still stands" (when the photograph was copied, date not given). Locate it (near Blount and the Webb Cemetery?), find out whether it survives, and ask the Georgia Archives about a copy of the photograph for the website (rights: "No Copyright - Contractual Restrictions").
