Elizabeth (Unknown) Webb

Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-236991

Elizabeth, whose ancestry is unknown, was the married first, by about 1635,[6] Seth Grant, 1632[7] immigrant to Cambridge who settled at Hartford in 1635.[8]

Based on the date of his inventory, Seth Grant died Hartford, Connecticut, before 4 March 1646[/7].[9]

From later dated records regarding the settlement of estates, Elizabeth (____) Grant married second, Richard Webb[10] Richard Webb was also an early immigrant who resided first at Cambridge, Massachusetts, and removed shortly to Hartford, Connecticut. Still later, Webb settled at Norwalk[11] The names of both Seth Grant and Richard Webb appear on the "earliest volume of Colony Land Records" that include the Hartford area.[12]

Richard Webb died July 1665,[13] and "Elissabeth Webb, the widow of Ritchard Webb, formerly of Norwalke," died 24 January 1680[/1].[14]

Although no record of their births has been located, Frank Farnsworth Starr's work with Grant and Webb land and estate records[15] show at least two children born to Seth Grant, probably with his wife, Elizabeth.

1. Elizabeth Grant, born say 1635[16]; married Robert Warner.[17]
2. Sarah Grant, born say 1637[18]; married Richard Holmes.[19]

As far as can be told from the records Richard Webb had only one wife Elizabeth. Alleged wife Grace Wilson was apparently part of the fraudulent genealogy. Anderson calls her Elizabeth ____ [17], widow of Seth Grant. Elizabeth died at Norwalk, 24 Jan 1680/1 and a distribution was made to a daughter of Seth Grant in March 1681.[15]

From the 1st book of Grants and Deeds:" 'Elizabeth Webb, relicke of Richard Webb,' in 1677, employed her 'Beloved brother John Gregory to make an agreement with Thomas Butler of Hartford, and his wife,' the 'laying claime to the estate of my deere husband, Richard Webb, deceased, --' fol. 51"[18]

"Elissabeth Webb, the widow of Richard Webb, formerly of Norwalke, deceased the twenty fowreth of January, 1680."[19]

Richard and his wife had no recorded children. Richard Webb of New Haven and Stamford was not his son.[16]
