Private James Webb - The Real James Webb of Wilkes County, North Carolina and was in Floyd Ky 1813 and in Hardin Ky 1820

Just for the records James Webb never stepped foot in Letcher Ky It was not formed until 1842
from parts of Floyd. He did not die in Letcher, Ky He did not marry Lettie Elizabeth Nelson
He did not leave England on a ship and join the Rev War in America. He did not die on 31 Dec 1825 He was a landowner in
Wilkes County and raised 5 children
and sold his last 100 acres of land in 1809 Wilkes County, NC, and below the Wits to his grand-daughter marriage in 1813

It's a real shame that
someone lied in their research to connect James as a son of John Webb and Mary Boone when we know that was not true
James Webb was of Wilkes, County not Letcher KY. He spent 38 years in Surry and Wilkes which was his home.

There are Libraries all over this County where many of James's Descendants live to spend a few days and see what else you can find on the
REAL James Webb. Because my ggggg grandfather James Crittenden Webb has been ravaged by James Webb Descendants mix his family with that of James Webb
of Wilkes County, NC His only mistake was being born in 1737 and marrying Elizabeth.

JAMES Webb New Research Surry and Wilkes NC 38 years he lived in Surry
and Wilkes County, North Carolina with some evidence of the
Merry Webb Family of Pittsylvania. Henry County Virginia, Merry Webb, Jr m/ Elizabeth Martin? 1697 Pittsylvania, VA died
9, 1774 Henry County, Virginia Three of his children came to North Carolina and settlied in Washington, NC
Then Surry and as the lines changed Wilkes, North Carolina. So is Merry Webb related to James Webb
It is very well possible because families travel and stayed together and he was with these
Webbs 1771-1809 where his five
children were born Mollie, Sarah, Benjamin, James, Jr, and William Webb.

John Webb, Million Webb, and Martin Webb settled in Wilkes, and James Webb is always on the Tax list with John
Martin Webb was in Wilkes, NC a few times
and settled in Warren, NC where he died. Other children were Lucy, Elizabeth Webb Sams, Mary Webb Burns, Merry Webb, Jr

James Webb born 1727-1766 Virginia/ North Carolina married Unk's wife. I expect she died after 1787 as her name has never
been proven in records and we still have no SOURCE. We find James in Surry County, North Carolina

Old message about these families Researcher Bowman very good sources

James BOWMAN, b. circa 1786-1790, NC married Elizabeth WEBB 7 Sept. 1811 in Wilkes Co. NC. I have her siblings as Mary Jane (m. Hugh JONES), Frances, John, Edith (married John HAMBY with James BOWMAN, bondsman), Hannah, and Eleanor (married Harden JONES). Elizabeth's parents are possibly John WEBB and Sarah CHILDRESS(?)

In an attempt to ferret out which of the WEBB families Elizabeth belongs to, I compiled the information below from a book (noted) and North Carolina deed abstracts.
I am posting these in the hope they will help someone else. If you see any connections to my BOWMAN family with your WEBB relatives, please let me know. Thanks.
