Webb Family of Clay County, Alabama, & Weinert, Texas

Levi Webb and his wife, Eliza Jane Barkley, lived in Clay County, Alabama, where they were parents to a nice family of 6 children: Annie, John, William, Robert, Charles and Leila. When Leila was only 4 years old, her mother died. Then her father died 5 years later. This was about 1882.

The children stayed together and eventually came to Texas after their uncle, John Barkley, sent for them. They lived in Jones County before moving to Weinert in Haskell County. His wife, known as "Aunt Mary" is pictured below with the family photos.

Annie Webb, who cared for the children when they were orphaned, did not marry.

John, William and Robert lived in Haskell and Jones Counties, with their wives, May, Ann, and Rosaline.

Charles Calvin Webb also lived in Weinert for several years before moving to Brownwood where he and his wife, Alma, raised their son, Manley.

The family genealogy is still being completed as research is ongoing.
