Thomas Webb, of Virginia

Could not have been the son of Gen. Sir John Webbe, 1st Baronet of Odstock & Mary Webbe

As far as I know the origins of the immigrant Thomas1 Webb have never been proven. Sir John Webbe, 1st Baronet of Odstock doesn't seem to be his father. Also I don't know of evidence that Thomas Webb even have a daughter Anne Smith / Hull. The will of John Hull of Fairfields was witnessed by Robert Webb but that's hardly proof of kinship.

Concerning Thomas Webb and Mary, wife of John Hudnall of Northumberland County, Virginia.
Many years ago, a genealogical researcher on the Hudnall Family determined that Mary, wife of John Hudnall (d.1659) of Northumberland County, Virginia, was the sister of Thomas Webb (d.1657) of the same. (See below) The researcher then looked for a Webb Family in England that had children Thomas and Mary, born in the early 1600's. He/she found John Webbe and Mary Caryll of Odstock, Wiltshire. As nobility, their family was documented in published pedigrees. Although no years of birth were available, the few years of death that were given indicated children possibly born in the right decade to be the Mary and Thomas of Virginia. But NO documentation of any kind has ever been found to verify this connection.

The fact that the Webbes were Roman Catholic nobility in western England, and the Hudnalls were Protestant yeoman farmers north of London, made a marriage between their families appear unlikely. But searching the Caryll Family found that Sir John Caryll and Mary Catherine Dormer were married at Wing, Buckinghamshire, seat of the Catholic Dormer Family, on 2 Jun 1599. She was only 15 at the time. Their first child, John, was born in 1603. His baptism, along with those of his next three siblings are recorded in either Wing, or in Warnham, Sussex, where the Carylls lived. Mary's baptism has not yet been found, but she is listed as the fifth and youngest child in a Carryl family tree in an appendix to a comprehensive history of the village of Warnham. Logically, she could not have been born before 1609.

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.

Thomas Webb (c1617-before 20 Jan 1657/8) married Elizabeth, whose maiden name is unknown, but possibly Atkins. She remarried before 20 Jan 1657/8 (deed) Henry Watts; and she died before 20 April 1687. Thomas apparently arrived on the ship Paule in 1635 from London, age 18, his passage paid by John Armie of Warrasquinoke (later renamed Isle of Wight) County, Virginia. In June 1645, Richard Atkins signed over his land at the head of Lawnes Creek to him, including a mill. In April, 1650, Thomas leased one acre of this land to Abraham Bennett, including the mill. His grandson Thomas Webb, of Northumberland County, Virginia, sold the land and mill in 1711. There was also a Hudnall's Creek in Isle of Wight County at this time, referred to as a landmark in a few deeds, but I found no record of anyone by the name of Hudnall owning land there, nor leaving any other record. On 21 Jan 1651/2, Thomas was owed 600 lbs tobacco and 3 bbl corn by Meremy Cooper in Northumberland Co, VA..
