Seth W Webber

  Research Notes:

Research information only from Jack:
While in Fairfield today, we took a few minutes to go by the court house
to help clear up my confusion about Seth Ward Webber b. 1838 and Seth
Ward Webber born 1849. I only took notes, no copies, but the findings
in Wayne County for Ward Webber include:

Death record - Ward Webber born 8/4/1849 died 4/8/1920;
Father: S W Webber
Mother: Jane Crawford
Informant: D M Fyke - Keenes
Burial: Bruce Cemetery

Marriage -
1.
Webber, Ward age 36, Four Mile Twp, 1st marriage
Father: S W Webber
Mother: E J Crawford

on Dec 24 1887 Book C-287
Casey, Gertrude age 24, 2nd marriage
Maiden name: Williamson
Father: unknown
Mother: Sarah Williamson

2.
Webber, Warde age 29, 2nd marriage, living in Belle Rive,
Father: S W Webber
Mother: Crawford

on Dec 15 1892 Book C-293
Buffington, T C, age 29, 1st marriage, Wayne,
Father: A C Buffington
Mother: M A Garrison

So much for clearing up confusion!!! Three times he stated that Jane
Crawford was his mother, and Thomason Cemetery transcriptions (Wayne
County, Illinois Cemetery Inscriptions VOL VI -by Doris Ellen Witter
Bland) list him as being buried there.

Does anybody have something more on this Ward Webber? Comments?

Does anybody have similar information on the Seth Webber born about 1838
in JCI to Benjamin and Elizabeth Wilkerson Webber?

Thanks in advance,

Jack White

Seth married Nancy Jane Warren, daughter of Burrell Warren Sr and Elizabeth Mary Nance, on 25 Mar 1841 in Jefferson County, Illinois.
