John Webb was born in Trimble County Kentucky. Trimble County is on the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Louisville. John moved to Indiana with his family around the time he was five. Edna’s parents must have brought her to Putnam county as an infant if she was born in Kentucky. Putnam County is west of Indianapolis. John and Edna married in 1847, John was 22 and Edna just 17.

By 1850 the Webb’s had moved from Putnam County a few miles west to Parke County. In 1850 they were boarding with Thomas Borden along with their oldest child, daughter Nancy. By 1855, their household grown to four children, they had established a residence near Bellmore. They farmed in section 18.

The Webb’s would have six more children. In all they had 10 children, six girls and four boys. The Webb Family records list Harry Webb and Lina Webb as children of John and Edna, but these are not supported by other evidence. Harry could be John H. Lina may be Edna.

Their oldest son Richard stayed on the family farm, probably running it for his mother after his father John died in 1895. Five years later the 1900 census shows Richard still running the farm and living single with his widowed mother Edna. Five years after that, in 1905, the 55 year old Richard died leaving the 65 year old Edna alone to run the farm. The Webb’s were buried in Russellville in Putnam County where they spent the early part of their lives. Edna may have sold the farm and moved back there after both her husband and son died. Edna would live almost 30 years longer than her husband, dying in 1923 at the age of 93.
