WATSON, WEBB posted by Lynda L. Wirth on Wednesday, September 3, 1997 

 
WEBB: I am search for the parents and siblings of Richard Daron WEBB. He was born in Shelby Co. in 1799. According to a biography, his father took the place of the oldest son during the War of 1812 and was killed. However, I have not been able to verify this. Richard WEBB married Hester Eliza (Hettie) WATSON in Oldham Co. in 1828. Shoerly thereafter they moved to first Piatt Co. and then Dewitt Co., Il. He was listed as one of the early pioneers of that area.

It is a DAR record that states she was the daughter of Thomas. J. Whitaker attested to this marriage. I will be very pleased with any information that I can get on any of these people.
