  • Notes 
    • This is the information I have for Tennessee V(irginia) Webb

      1860 census: Tennessee Webb, age 12, birth abt 1848 TN, McMinnville, Warren, TN
      1880 census: Tennessee Bess, age 28, birth abt 1852 TN, District 13, Warren, TN, Spouse William Bess
      1900 census: Tennessee V. Bess, age 38, birth June 1861 GA, married 38 years, Spouse William T. Bess, 5 of 9 children living

      Marriage: Tennessee Webb to W. B. Bess, 7 Nov 1869, Warren County (source:
      TN compiled marriage records)
      Death: presumed shortly after 1900 based on her husband William being listed as a widow in 1910 census.
      Also William's 1935 obit says he lived the last 35 years of his life with his daughter Sallie Bess Lorhum.
      Burial: no info

      Father Jesse Webb (1818 - ?)
      Mother Elizabeth Henry (1822 - ?)
      Married 10 Feb 1842, Rhea County, TN

      Jesse Webb's parents were Townsend Webb (1787-1826) and Nancy Kendrick (1790-1826).

      Townsend Webb's parents were Jesse Webb and Didama Townsend.

      William Bess is listed on various documents throughout his life with three different middle initials: T, B, and M.

      Most records for Tennie indicate she as well as her parents were born in TN, however her 1880 census record says her father was born in Georgia and her
      1900 census record says she was born in Georgia but her father was born in TN. Go figure!

      FYI, the half-brother Henry who is mentioned in William Bess' obit is Henry Jackson Bess (1870-1951), youngest child of Thomas Bess and Franky Webb. All of William's other siblings (from mother Mary Polly Ellis) and half-siblings (from Frankly Webb) predeceased him.
