General Sir John Webbe (c1597-c1680) married Mary Carryl (c1609-c1661) youngest child of John Carryl and Mary Dormer (married 2 Jun 1599) of Warnham, Sussex. They lived in Odstock, Wiltshire. He was made a Baronet of Oldstocke and Great Canford 2 Apr 1644 "as a reward of his family having both shed their blood in the King's cause and contributed, as far as they were able, with their purses, in his defence." They were Roman Catholic. In 1646, his manor, rents, and demesne lands were sequestered, value £300 per annum. Their children's christenings were not recorded in the Anglican Parish Register in Odstock or Salisbury. John's will refers only to his heir, John, youngest daughter Marina, and granddaughter Mary daughter of John.

Even if Mary Caryll were married to John Webbe of Odstock at 15, in 1624, she could not have been the mother of Thomas Webb of Virginia. Their eldest son, John, the future baronet, would have been born no earlier than 1625. If Thomas were their second child, he would have been born about 1627. Thomas Webb of Virginia was, according to current research, 18 years old when he arrived in Virginia in 1635. This would indicate he was born about 1617. And he owned land in June, 1645, proving that he was then at least 21 years of age, and so born no later than June, 1624. But if he were born that late, he would have been only 11 years old upon arrival in Virginia, and unlikely to have been mistaken for an 18-year-old.

Therefore, Thomas Webb and Mary, wife of John Hudnall, of Virginia, were NOT the children of Sir John Webbe and Mary Caryll of Odstock, Wiltshire.
