Life

William M. Webb, entered in the FamilySearch tree as W. M. Webb, was a son of Charles Hackett Webb and Malinda Bailey; the tree gives his birth as 1850, in Alabama, without a source.1 The federal census of 1850 lists William M. Webb in his father's household in Meriwether County, Georgia, where the index spells the father's name "Charels Webb."2 Inference That census places the family in Georgia in 1850, which sits awkwardly with the tree's Alabama birthplace for a child born that year; the census entry, which would give his age and birthplace, has not been examined, and his birth may well have been earlier.2 By 1860 the family had moved to Alabama, where the census lists him in his father's household in the 2nd Subdivision of Coosa County, and in 1870 he was still in the household of C. H. Webb, in Alabama.3 He was living in August 1912, when "Mr. and Mrs. William M. Webb, brother and sister [-in-law] of Mr. C. D. Webb," were among the relatives at the reunion of his brother Charles David Webb's family at the old homestead near Kellyton, Coosa County.4 The tree records no wife, children or death for him.5
