  • Notes 
    • Richard Webb Sr., son of immigrants Alexander Webb and Mary Wilson Webb, was born at the family compound in Bearley, Warwickshire on May 15, 1580.

      He married Grace Wilson on May 1, 1610 in England.

      Richard and Grace (Wilson) Webb had a son on almost exactly 9 months after their marriage in England.

      The son was named (as is common for first born sons) after his father.

      Records conflict on the date Richard landed in Boston--some records indicate it was 1616 (putting it here before the famous Mayflower) while others indicate it was 1626.

      Richard Webb Sr. was voted a 'freeman' in Cambridge in November 6, 1636 (the same year his brother John came to America as a member of the British military).

      A 'freeman' indicates that the person was not an indentured servant, was a landowner, was an active member of a local church, and was entitled to vote and hold public office.
