It is incorrect to list Elizabeth Corbin as a wife to John Webb, and that makes it imposble that they had a son, Meredith Burton Webb. John Webb was born in Latchkey, Cornwall, and worked in the minds in Mary Tavy, Devon, before coming to the United States to become a miner in Negaunee, MI. He married Elizabeth Betsy Lobb in Crowan, Cornwall in 1863. Came to US in 1865 at age 23. He was blinded in a mine accident but remained in Negaunee until his death in 1903. He was my great grandfather, having my grandmother, Eliza J/ Webb, among his 13 children. She married my grandfather, Herbert Charles Dower Sr. ion 1889 in Negaunee and he, in turn, was killed in the Hartford Mine Fire in 1911. They had nine children. No time for another wife.
