Webb-10519 and Webb-3712 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents. I mistakenly removed the mother, Amy Booker, before realizing this was a duplicate. 1779 DOB is correct. Source, on mother's page, will be added.

Amy Booker is the mother-- mistakenly removed. This should be merged into James Webb, born 1779, with correct DOB 1779. Thanks!
