My WEBB ancestors have been in Alabama, in the Sumter, Marengo and Butler County areas primarily in the early years. Henley WEBB is my main mystery man, born in 1811, and dying in 1864. I have the marriage of him and his wife as being in Linden, and a will posted in Livingston. He married Lucy HEARNE, and they in turn had 15 children, one of whom is my great grandfather Joseph Whitfield WEBB, born in 1848.He married Clementine Thankful PAGE in 1865 and they in turn had 11 children, of whom Benjamin Warren WEBB born in 1883, is my grandfather. He married Mary Magdelene WHITCOMB, who was born in 1882. She was the daughter of Benjamin Franklin WHITCOMB, and Joanna BEATTY who were also married in Marengo County. They had 8 children, four girls, and 4 boys who grew up in Linden from the early 1870's to the early 1900's. Many of my family are still living in the York and Cuba areas, and I have made a few connections in Mississippi. I cannot get info on Henley however! I have heard the  WHITCOMBs came from South Carolina, but have no information on the BEATTYs. If any of these names and time periods sound right to any one, I have all the extended names on the other children in the generations. Many Thanks, Jackie Swikard Shaffer
