Hello, Just read these messages concerning George W. Webb and Loretta Wilhoite. These are the names of my great great grandparents. They are buried at Lebanon cemetery (Laurel Hill).
I have information on the Wilhoites, but have not been able to find much on the Webb’s. I do not have my records at hand right now, but I do know that Loretta died when my great grandmother Susan J. Webb was a child.
Susan Webb married Hamilton Howard. Their oldest daughter Gertrude Howard married Clifford Allen. They were my grandparents.
I would love to have more information on George W. Webb. Is the Melton Webb mentioned the same as “Mit” Webb whose name I have heard in my family? I know that my great grandmother had a brother named Melton who was called “Mit”. As a matter of fact, as I look at your message, I believe that I have all of these names in my files as her brothers and sisters and she is probably your “Sue” in your list.
Hope to hear from you and compare notes.
