--------------
In the 1830's Giles Webb and other members of his family sold out in Carroll County, Virginia and moved to Indiana. They settled about thirty miles from Indianapolis where they lived for about three years, but fever and chills were so bad they removed to Highland County, Ohio, where they lived for about one year; then moved again to a point on the Kanawha River near Malden. After living there for a while they moved to Big Coal River, and moved again in 1848/50 to Drews Creek in Raleigh County. They both died in the 1860s. There is record of nine children.
