    WEBB     My GG-Grandparents were William and Penelope WEBB. Both were born in IN and they migrated from there to Shelby Co., IL prior to Dec 1868. Penelope died on 10 Mar 1870 and was buried in Foster Cemetery. William remarried in Moultrie Co. on 27 Jul 1870 to a Mary Jane WHITE and they had 2 children that I know of: 1. Charles W. WEBB, d. 27 Apr 1871 at 2 days old, and was buried in Foster Cemetery 2. George A. WEBB (information obtained from land sale after William died) I have a feeling they may have had more children. I have found a George, Addie and Goldie WEBB in the 1900 Marrowbone Twp, Moultrie Co. census. The Macon Co. website posts information on the marriage of George A. WEBB to Rhoda Adaline "Addie" LANE, the death and burial spot of "Addie", the marriage of Goldie M. WEBB to Elmer J. CAHILL, and the death and burial spot of Goldie CAHILL. I am 98% sure the George A. WEBB from my land sale record and the George A. WEBB and "Addie" and Goldie are the same family. I would enjoy corresponding with any researchers that might have these people in their tree. I am trying to fill in that remaining 2% and gather more information on William and his 2nd wife and family. I have considerable WEBB information to share with any one interested.

    WEBB     I am looking for any information concerning a Ilyah Turner and a Catherine Webb that were married in Macon Co. on March the 5th, 1868.

    WHITFIELD     I recently found out that my paternal grandmother, Maude Virginia (Whitfield) Brown's parents were Zachariah B. Whitfield and Hannah D. Baker of the Sullivan, Illinois area. I have information that Zachariah or ZB Whitfield as he was called and Hannah were married Dec. 28, 1871 in Moultrie County. Maude was apparently the last of seven children born to them on April 18, 1892. I am looking for information on Lucinda (Whitfield?) Davis who may have been Martha L. Whitfield and on William Kenney Whitfield who became a Judge in Decatur who may have been listed on the 1880 Census as William "H". Any other information on Whitfield ancestors or dependents would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
