Research Notes

  1. I found some confusing details as to the parents of Joseph Webb. As stated above in the bio, he is the son of Richard Webb. See also: [3] The source for his birth below, states that he is the son of William Webb. Both profiles of Joseph Webb on Family Search have a son, Rev. Joseph Webb. b. 1666-1732. This son is mentioned in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society as the son of this profile (who was the son of Richard Webb). There are either 2 Joseph Webb's with the same birth date and location or one of these sources is incorrect.Cheri
  2. Joseph Webb, son of William, b. 19 Aug 1640 at Weymouth.[4][5]

Possibly the Joseph Webb mentioned in Upham genealogy; the descendants of John Upham, of Massachusetts, who came from England in 1635, and lived in Weymouth and Malden. by Frank Kidder Upham, published 1892 https://archive.org/details/uphamgenealogyde00upha/page/34/mode/1up?

With regard to his wife: her name is assumed to have been Webb, for the will of Richard Webb has this : " Also I appoint and design my loving friends, Deacon John Upham, of Maiden, Deacon Clapp and Lieut. Clapp, to be my executors,'"' etc. This dated July 21, 1659, while in the same record, and bearing the same date, is the following: "Joseph Webb being before me, the magistrate, declared that he chose his Uncle Upham, Lieut. Clapp, and Deacon Clapp, whom his father appointed executors of his will, to be guardians," etc. John Upham, to have been the uncle of Joseph, the son of Richard Webb, must either have married the sister of the said Richard Webb, or Richard Webb must have married the sister of John Upham."


I don't think the conclusion is correct (John Upham's wife was Elizabeth Slade Slade-121) but it would be useful to place Joseph Webb and Richard Webb in relation to John Upham and his wife. I think the Richard Webb might be Webb-12731 who is currently unconnected and is shown as dying July 1659 at Boston. Perhaps Joseph Webb (1640 - 1698) Webb-8843 is Joseph the son of Richard.
