Life

James Roy Webb was born in Alabama in December 1897, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date.1 He was the only son of James Pleasant Webb and his first wife, Elba Lively, who died in 1899, and the federal census of 1900 listed him as James R. Webb in his father's household in Precinct 3, Socapatoy, Coosa County.2 The censuses of 1910 and 1920 found him, indexed as "Roy J Webb," in his father's household in Birmingham, Jefferson County.3 The Veterans Administration's master index of service in the First World War carries an entry for him dated 24 May 1919.4

On 31 December 1923 he married Leona Treece in Jefferson County.5 The tree names one child, Irene Elba Webb (1927–2006), whose marriage record of September 1945 names both her parents.6 The census of 1940 found James R. Webb and his wife Leona in the twenty-second ward of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, but by 14 February 1942, when he registered for the draft of the Second World War, he was back in Birmingham.7 On 19 November 1946 James Roy Webb and Leona Treece married a second time in Jefferson County, the bride again under her maiden name, and his father James Pleasant Webb is named in the record.8 Inference A second marriage to the same wife, with the bride under her maiden name, suggests that the first marriage had ended in divorce, but no divorce record is in hand.8

The census of 8 April 1950 listed James R. Webb with Leona in Birmingham.9 Leona died in 1967, and the Alabama death index for her names him as her husband.10 James Roy Webb died at Birmingham on 25 June 1969.11
