"Joseph Webb. Born 1666, died 1732, aged 65.
Rev. Joseph Webb, M. A., of Fairfield, Connecticut, born 10 May, 1666, was probably son of Joseph and Grace Webb, of Boston. He could not have been the son of Joseph Webb of Stamford, who was but twelve years old when the Father of our graduate died, in 1684. …
After graduation Webb studied divinity. Probably he was the 'Mr. Webb' who, beginning in 1688, preached for some time at Derby, Connecticut. He was ordained at Fairfield, Connecticut, 15 August, 1694. …
His pastorate extended from 1692 to 1732, in which time he baptized 1492 persons. He was one of the first Fellows of Yale College, to whom the charter was given.
In 1691 he was married to Elizabeth, the eleventh child and youngest daughter of Isaac Nichols, of Stratford, and sister of Reverend Israel Chauncy's wife, Mary. She died 15 February, 1718, aged nearly 51. In September, 1721, he married Mrs. Elizabeth Cone [error for Coney], of Stratford. …
He left a family record of his six daughters and three sons, among whom are: 2. Joseph, Y. C. 1715, born 21 September, 1693; 3. Nehemiah, 26 February, 1694-5; 9. Josiah, 16 March, 1706-7.
According to the following inscription, which is probably correct, he died a week earlier than is stated in the Boston News-Letter: — 'H. & M. | Here lyes interred | the Body of the | Revd Mr Joseph Webb | (the faithful Pastor) | of the Church of Christ | in this Place | Who departed this Life | September 12th A. D. 1732. | Ætatis Suæ 66.'"
