John Smith Webb was the second of six children born to Samuel Smith Webb and his wife Amanda E Lee. He married three times as follows:
--Martha (or Matilda) J Cook, November 12, 1882 in Robertson County, TN.
They had one son:
1) Thomas Arthur Webb, born August 1885 and died February 23, 1950
--Florence (Moore) Randolph, November 4, 1888 in Robertson County, TN.
They had two daughters:
2) Mary Myrtle (Webb) (Hartley) Hughson, born March 21, 1890 and died July 7, 1961
3) Pearl (Webb) (Ploof) Hollis, born August 15, 1891 and died December 22, 1971
Florence previously had two sons and a daughter by her first marriage to George Albert Randolph on September 21, 1882 in Robertson County, TN. These children were:
Walter Albert Randolph, born January 12, 1884 and died May 2, 1964
Ernest Randolph, born February 18, 1886 and died August 17, 1916
Georgia Ellen (Randolph) Fisher, born March 13, 1888 and died in February 1980.
--Frances "Fannie" Belle Dewees, May 3, 1896 in Robertson County, TN.
They had five sons and two daughters:
4) Oscar Smith Webb, born April 13, 1897 and died April 9, 1917
5) John "Jack" Dewees Webb born November 10, 1898 and died October 11, 1959
6) Chester Lee Webb, born July 30, 1900 and died August 1, 1971
7) Elsie Maybelle (Webb) Lehman, born in 1903 and died October 15, 1928
8) Roland Terry Webb, born July 31, 1907 and died March 17, 1908
9) Elbert Max Webb, born April 8, 1909 and died February 13, 1950
10) Frances Elizabeth (Webb) (Chapman) Adams, born March 14, 1914 and died January 5, 1978
Fannie Belle previously had two sons by her first marriage to Charles W "Dick" Reed on March 29, 1891 in Jackson County, TN. These children were:
Bernice Leslie "Jim" Reed, born August 2, 1893 and died May 21, 1965
Charles Henry Reed, born February 9, 1895 and died about 1923 (I have no confirmation of this other than a relative).
John was somewhat of a vagabond. Soon after his third marriage he packed up his family to homestead in Elida, New Mexico. However, the attempt was fraudulent as the family actually resided in Roswell, New Mexico and sent the two youngest children out every week to check on the homestead. They eventually gave up on the homestead idea and moved to Canada along with his wife's family. They lived in Riverhurst, Saskatchewan until old age when they joined their son Lee in Chowchilla, California.
John Smith Webb spent his last days institutionalized for senile dementia. It is suspected that the ultimate cause for his death was abuse by the institution.∼Service Monday for John Webb
