Note

Settled at Smithfield, Isle of Wright Co., Virginia, USA

John and Richard Webb and their families sailed from Cowes Isle of Wight, England on the ship "Canterbury" in the company of William Penn, who was making his second visit to the colony which bore his name. The ship sailed on Sept. 9, 1699 but did not arrive until Dec. 10, 1699. An epidemic of yellow fever was raging in Philadelphia ‏(as told by famous Quaker historian, Thomas Story)‏. He wrote: "Distress was felt on all sides as this terrible disease took it's toll. It was very probable that John Webb lost one of his sons, because Robert Webb, son of John Webb, was buried Jan 1, 1700. He left his wife Elizabeth and daughter Mary, who died Apr. 26, 1714.

The children of Joseph Webb were brought by their mother, Hannah Hopton Webb Lea and step-father, John Lea.
