Webb Family Genealogy, researching surnames, family history



This is Ken Webb's Family History site






This photo of Myrtle Clark Jones, Frantie Webb, Anna Armour & Flossie Webb, was probably taken in Aberdeen, South Dakota during the 1920s. The Webb girls are twins, and are first cousins twice removed from me.

Frantie and Flossie were twins. Both were watercolor painters and sometimes collaborated in their work.

    Looking for missing links:

      I am interested in finding others who either have one of the above surnames in his or her family or are researching one or more of these names. At this time, the extent of my knowledge of these names and how they relate to me is for the most part derived from my immediate family and the many unsubstantiated electronic links that I have found on sites such as: Rootsweb, Ancestry.com, Genforum, FamilyTreeMaker, FamilySearch.org and personal contacts that I have made through inquiries through those electronic ports. Any input or additional background on these surnames is both welcome and encouraged.

      To view another effort of mine that I don't want to duplicate here, please check out the following link. I have a LOT more family photos there and three descendant reports following the lines of three different grandfathers.

    A little Family Information:


      The WEBBs in my family come from the townships of Hounsfield and Henderson in Jefferson County, New York. It was from the small town of Sackett's Harbor that my second great grandfather Erastus and his wife Jane CLUTE migrated to Princeton, Greenlake County, Wisconsin in 1846 and then to Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1884.


      Coming down another branch in the family are the TIPPEYs/TIPPYs. They came out of Robertson County, Tennessee and migrated between 1816 and 1818 up to the Northwest territory of Illinois which, at that time, was a part of Virginia, and settled in the Franklin County area. The southern portion of Franklin County became Williamson County during the 1830's, It was so named since many of the early pioneers were from Williamson County, Tennessee. My third great grandfather, Abner, and his wife, Elizabeth FARRIS, made their way into Bremer County, Iowa around the middle of the 1800s.

    Another interesting name on my father's side of the family is STANNARD. Our predecessor, Asa Stannard (another second great grandfather), left us with a huge diary or �memorandums� that he wrote in the early 1850s. It tells of his life, first as a student at Starkey Seminary in New York, second as a store clerk in the town of Rush, New York, third as a farmer and teacher in Granby, Oswego County, New York, and fourth, also as a farmer and teacher, in Shell Rock, Butler County, Iowa.

    One of his daughters (my great grandmother), Ida Arvilla (photo inset), married Edgar Alverton Tippey in Shellrock, Butler County, Iowa about 1894.

    For a bit of contemporary Stannard happenings, I met some distant Stannard cousins that I have noted at the following link:

    Contemporary Stannards



      On my mother's side of the family I am descended from people with names such as NESBITT, BURTIS, SMITH, HUMPHREY and the others that I noted above. However, for the names just mentioned, we have photos of some headstones that were submitted to the Colorado USGenWeb Archives for the Grandview Cemetery in Montrose, CO.

      The BURTIS name is a derivative of the name Alberti. There is quite a bit of documentation that one Peitro Caesar Alberti (numerous spellings of his name can be found) is the progenitor of all who bear the name BURTIS in the United States. One source is this Pietro Caesar Alberti freepages website which includes a lengthy account of his voyage and arrival in the New World.
