Madison & Ben Webb (Corrrected Copy !!!)
Looking for relations of Madison H. Webb.Born Feb 5, 1836 at Bedford Co, TN and his parents Benjamin Webb (born June 16, 1792, Servier Co, TN., died June 18, 1884, Bedford Co.) and Elizabeth W. Reeves (July 18, 1796, Orange Co, NC).Ben and Elizabeth were married Sept 16, 1821 and they had 6 sons (Madison was the youngest, names of the others is unknown at this time).
Madison H. Webb married Elnora Elam Dec 11, 1867.Elnora was the daughter of James A. Elam.
Madison H. Webb was a Lt. in the Confederate Army during the Civil War.He served in the 18th Tennessee Infantry (CSA), and later in the 4th Tennessee Cavalry (CSA) under Col. Starnes.He was captured at Fort Donelson and held at Springfield, Illinois, but escaped after one month in captivity.He fought at Chicamagua, Murfreesboro, Fort Donelson, and in various actions during the Georgia Campaign.
After the war he became a successful farmer, Mason, and had 600 acres in Bedford Co.
If you are on this line, lets talk.
I am working on the possibility that Benjamin Webb (b. 1792, TN) could be the brother of my Isaiah Webb (b. 1796, location unknown).
Isaiah served in the War of 1812 from Tennessee at the age of 18).Benjamin also served in the War of 1812 from a Bedfird Co, Company under Captain Barrett, which was present at the Battle of New Orleans.
In 1850, Congress authorized pensions for those who served in the War of 1812.On December 2, 1850, Isaiah Webb applied for his pension at Bedford County, Tennessee, and two other Webbs were there and they made affadavits in support of his identity and service.They were Samuel and Benjamin Webb, but their relationship to Isaiah was not stated.We have always believed them to be brothers, all living in Bedford Co.Isaiah eventually moved west to Arkansas.
Please e-mail me or post if you have additional info on these Webbs.
