This web site is an attempt to provide information to the more than 8,000 known descendants of Hiram Webb and his probable sister, Mary Webb Evans (and for those who are just finding out that they are!). There is a MyFamily site to which any number of descendants would love to introduce new cousins. They only need ask. We do not know very much about Hiram himself, but his numerous children and grandchildren provide plenty of opportunities for further research.
Hiram's own children spread out somewhat: some stayed put, some moved
to the next county over, some moved to Texas, and one went north after joining
Union forces during the Civil War. Hiram's descendants have spread
out to virtually all of the U.S.A., from Florida to Alaska; from south
California up to New York and Michigan. Some descendants have
even chosen to make such foreign locales as Thailand, Honduras, Singapore,
England, and Germany their homes. There are big pockets in NE Mississippi,
NW Alabama, central Texas, northern California, LeFlore County in Oklahoma,
NE Arkansas, and just north of Chicago. They have lived all across the
U.S.A. and they have died from the forests of Itawamba County, Mississippi,
where Hiram himself met his unfortunate end, to battlefields in France
and Germany and Vietnam. They are buried in unmarked and forgotten
graves in countless rural cemeteries in the southeast and southwest,
deep within the ocean depths, in graves along the Pacific, the Atlantic,
the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes, and in our nation's most honored
resting place, Arlington National Cemetery. One day we would like
to find all of the descendants, though that seems a tall order, but for
now, this is one of the efforts to bring all this together. The main
researchers in this family are Denise Gregory, Lynn Cambpell, Rick Reed,
Judith Williams, and myself, though many others have provided great help
in various lines and are listed below.

Instead of trying to list all of Hiram's descendants in one place, I hope to place a sub-page for each of his children and then go from there. It would break them up into more manageable sections. If you are a descendant and have enough information on your Webb ancestor that you think it would be good to put on this site, please let me know. I'd love to insert information on other descendants and fill it out a bit more.
I hope that you will find this site useful and please, feel free to contact me or, probably more effective, someone closer to your own line (there are contact lists here too). It's almost impossible to try and handle all of the children's' groups with ease (though Denise Gregory comes closer than anyone I know in being able to handle it all!), but thankfully we have a number of very talented people working on different lines of Hiram's. I will try to include email addresses or contacts for each of these lines.
(I would especially like to thank Denise Gregory, Lynn Campbell, Rick Reed, Judith Williams, Don Pate, Bill Miles, Tina Clinton, Mary Rhodes, Charles Webb, Joe Brannen, Billie Franks, Mary Lee Smith, Tom Sandlin, Bobbe Duvall, John Pandzic, Earl Webb, Martha Bone, Barbara Carruth, Marilyn Dickson, Nell Camp, Ray Schad, and Don King, among a host of others!)
