Note: It is not certain that the Joseph Webb who died 25 Sep 1864 as a POW is the same Joseph Webb who was the son of James Webb and the step-son of Sarah (Hill) Webb. However, the other 2 Joseph Webb's of about the same age in Tennessee in the 1850 census (both living in Anderson County) appear to be accounted for after 1864. It is also a better fit than the Joseph Webb, born about 1838, who married Margaret Hicks, as many trees suggest.
