MATTHIAS WEBB, 1850-1880, Pickaway and
Matthias Webb is listed in the 1850, 1860, and 1861 census records for Harrison Township of Pickaway County - born in Virginia about 1825, married to Elizabeth Lawrence who was born in Pennsylvania about 1827; and with children Thomas Rutherford Webb born in Harrison Township in 1849, Eliza Webb born in 1855, Francis (or Franklin) Webb born 1858, and Mary Webb born 1858-9. I know that Elizabeth Lawrence was the mother of Thomas, but I'm not positive she was the mother of the other children. After 1861, Matthias disappeared from Pickaway County.
I have now found an entry for Matthias Webb age 47 in Wyandot County on the 1870 census;a marriage of Matthias Webb and Margaret Navin in Fairfield County in 1877 (son Thomas had shown up in Fairfield County in 1872, married and settled down); and a census entry for Matthias Webb age 67, Margaret age 51 born in Ireland, and stepson Peter Dunn born in Indiana in Marion County for the 1880 census.
If anyone has any information about this family or any of the information I've listed above, I would really like to hear from you.I've been up against a brick wall on this family for close to five years.Thank you for any help you can give me.Vicki
