A few years back, there was a posting from a guy that had a bible in his possession, that listed the descendants of Stephen
Webb and
Hannah Harlan. For about 20 years, I've had a photocopy of an old (1880) newspaper article concerning a bible that lists, first, the children of
Ezekiel Webb (1747-1828) and
Cordelia Jones Webb (d. 1785) of
Chester County, PA, and then the children of their son Thomas
Webb (1781-1860), and his wife
Hester (or Esther)
Paxson (1781-1868), who settled in Unionville,
Chester County, PA. When the article was written (130 years ago), the bible was in the possession of an Esther
Pownall of
Christiana,
Lancaster County, PA; I am pretty sure she was Esther
Webb (b. 1831), daughter of Henry
Webb and Eliza
Griffith, and granddaughter of Thomas and
Hester Webb. If nothing else, it would be fun to see if we could determine if the bible still exists and who has it. The attached is the photocopy of the article.
