- Biography
William Micajah Webb came to America in 1629. with three sons.
He first settled at Isle of Pines, then to Smithfield, Isles of Wrightt then moved to Norfork.
William was the "Merchant of Virginia". Robert Webb's little manuscript says: "Between the years 1640 and 1650, two brothers emigrated from Wales to America.
One of them settled at Braintree, MA. His name was Christopher, and he was the ancestor of the northern branch of the family.
The other of these two brothers settled at Smithfield, Isle of Wight Co VA. He was a merchant, the progenitor of the southern branch of the family. His name was William, though one tradition designates him Micajah."
His son, Richard came to Virginia abt. 1622/3.
Thus the two older sons Giles and James were born in England and the other seven were born in Virginia.
From him came the great southern branch of the Webb Family.
One of his sons, James moved to Richmond VA and Lucy Webb was of his branch.
His place of residence for a while was Smithfield. Isle of Wight, VA.
He was a renowned shipbuilder and designer. Nonie Webb's Research. Webb history from Virginia Webb.
One of his sons, James moved to Richmond VA and Lucy Webb was of this branch. His place of residence for a while was Smithfield, Isle of Wight, VA. He was a renowned shipbuilder and designer.[1]
Apparently William and his family settled in the Norfolk VA area while his father Alexander Webb settled in the Boston Mass. region.
Note: There are a number of variations of the genealogy of this early Webb family, and the online references give the appearance of a number of different Richard Webbs being melded into one family, with minimal evidence, resulting in a situation in which little confidence can be given to the resulting "genealogy".[2]
