  [S107] Family Histories, http://www.wvgenweb.org/raleigh/family/twebb/WebbChapterThree.pdf. James1 Webb, the earliest known ancestor of many of the Webbs whose roots are in Grayson County, Virginia, is mentioned in the family Bible record of the Reverend Isaac Webb. This Bible has been preserved by Isaac?s descendants. It is not known for certain just where this James Webb lived, but it would not be too unlikely that he was descended from the Giles Webb who lived at Chuckatuck on the boundary of Nansemond and Isle of Wight Counties, perhaps through Giles? son James who died before 17 February 1675. There is, however, no proof that this Giles was the ancestor of the Grayson County Webbs, except what attaches from the similarity of names. The Bible record also shows that James Webb had a son Jacob2 who married Mary/Mollie Austin. Their son Henry Webb was the progenitor of the Grayson County Webbs. Third Generation James1, Jacob2 Henry3 Webb, son of Jacob and Mary/Mollie (Austin) Webb, was born in the 1750s; birthplace unknown. It is known, however, by the Isaac Webb Bible that he came from the Blackwater of Franklin County, Virginia in the 1780s and settled in that part of Montgomery County that became Wythe in 1793, which then became Grayson County in 1795. He is shown on the Personal Property Tax List of Montgomery County for 1793 (1792 taxes), and on the 1795 Tax List of Wythe County (1794 taxes). Henry Webb was called ?Hal? by all who knew him and tradition is that he was a small ?red-headed? man who had been loyal to England during the early part of the Revolutionary War, but later joined with the colonies in that struggle for freedom. Though there have been in Grayson and Carroll Counties several different families of this name, the largest has been that of Henry and Susanna (Cocke) Webb. Henry?s wife is believed to have been a daughter of John, Sr. and Elizabeth (Goad) Cocke. Henry Webb left no will, but deeded land to his children before he died, which was about 1845. He is buried in the Thompson Cemetery on Snake Creek in Carroll County. His grave is unmarked. Henry and Susanna (Cocke) Webb had issue: 1 i-James Austin Webb, b. ca 1783; m.
