Mary Fallis Webb

Mary Fallis Webb was the mother of Delila Ann Webb, the maternal grandmother of Florence Lane Wellons and the great grandmother of Ralph Wellons, my grandfather.

She was born on November 24, 1810 in Jefferson County, Kentucky and died on July 31, 1876 near Frankton in Madison County, Indiana.

She married Jacob Mulford Webb on April 21, 1831 in Greene County, near Dayton, in Ohio.

She gave birth to her 4th child, Delila Ann, on September 6, 1837 near Dayton, Ohio. She and Jacob had been once to Indiana, moved back to Ohio, and were soon to move back for good to Indiana.

In the 1850 census, she and Jacob have 8 children. (See Jacob for a listing.)

In the 1870 census, they have only one child, Amanda, who is the 9th on record. His obituary says there were 11 children altogether and there are some gaps between kids where a child could have died in infancy.

Mary died on July 31, 1876 and was buried at the Prewitt Cemetery in Pipe Township, Madison County, Indiana.

Jacob remarried and outlived his second wife, Rebecca Peacock Todd, who had 6 grown children of her own when they married. He was a prominent farmer who became more prominent as he did not die until he was 98 years old in 1908.
