I would interested to know which Webb you descended from. I’m still trying to piece together which child we directly descended from. My cousin is travelling to VA to check the libraries in two weeks.

I too am a descendant of Jane Webb. I was able to trace my ancestors back to Daniel Webb and was lost at that point. I found a cousin online and he actually has the information about Jane Webb’s family as to how they were Quakers and kicked out of England came to America and endured servants. My branch did migrate to NC and I presently live in California. Up until just a few months ago, I had no history of my father’s family or where I came from. Never met my GF as he passed before I was born. Within months I’ve found new family and traced the wife of one of my grandfather’s family all the way back to France. This revelation of Jane Webb who birthed one of my Great grandfather’s is amazing to me. Our history is recorded and not lost in time. Thank you so much for the post and I too am overwhelmed by this story.

Very exciting! Those interested in African-American research continue to hope that many of the missing Freedmen’s Bureau cohabitation records are out there and will eventually show up in courthouse basements across Virginia.

Congrats on possibly finding your ancestors! The Scott County Chancery Causes are now available online through the Chancery Records Index. A surname search on Ramey comes back with several cases. This particular case mentioned in the blog post, Jonathan Ramey, Sr. by etc. vs. Admx. of Jeremiah Ramey, etc., has the index number 1878-020. Good luck with your research!

Thanks for getting in touch, Mr. Krick. I spoke with Chris Kolbe, the author of this article, and he suggested the following:

There might possibly be some genealogical information in the publication listed below. Other things Mr. Krick could check are the census for James Green and the marriage record for Fannie Lee.

Author: Fitzgerald, Oscar P.
Title: The Green family of cabinetmakers : an Alexandria institution, 1817-1887 : an exhibition of 19th-century furniture, April 18, 1986 through November 30, 1986, The Lyceum … Alexandria, Virginia / Oscar P. Fitzgerald, guest curator.

I was wondering if James Green the son had a daughter named Fannie Lee Green Kemper?
