6th great-grandparents on Webb maternal side:
Gideon
Webb (July 1, 1709 in Saybrook CT to 18 Feb 1799 in Saybrook) & wife
,
Temperance Huff/Hough Webb (April 8, 1708 in East Haddam CT to Dec 22,
1793 in Chester, Middlesex, CT), daughter of Jonathan and Silence Bates
Hough/Huff
PER
https://www.gravesfa.org/gen166.htm
Gideon Webb is the son of John Webb and wife Ruth Graves Webb.
Gideon was born to them in early July 1709.
Temperance Huff or Hough was the daughter of Silence Bates and
Jonathan Hough who married on April 10, 1707 in Saybrook CT.
On July 27, 1755, Gideon of Haddam CT married
Temperance Huff of Chester in Saybrook CT.
Gideon Webb served in the French & Indian War, believed to be his
first such service, in November of 1756 and his last in 1762.
Gideon had just married in July of 1755, but according to vhttp://history.rays-place.com/ct/windham-fr-ind.htm
he became a volunteer soldier in November of the following year.
Gideon served in the 7 year French and Indian War from 1756-1762.
In 1758 he served for the 3rd Regiment in Connecticut under the command
of Colonel & Captain Eleazer Fitch in the 11th Company. His
co-commander was Capt Timothy Mather.
In 1761 he was serving in the 2nd Regiment for Connecticut with the
Regiment Command being Colonel and Captain Nathan Whiting, First
Company.
In 1762 he was still fighting in the French and Indian War, this time
in the 1st Regiment under the command of Phineas Lyman, Major-General,
in the 10th Company. The co-command was Capt. Hugh Ledlie.
The Seven Years’ War, a global conflict known in America as the
French and Indian War, ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris by
France, Great Britain, and Spain in 1763.
http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-french-and-indian-war-ends
Gideon survived the French and Indian War years and did not die until
February 1799 at 89!
Temperance lived until December 22, 1793, having lived a long life of
85 years!
REMARKABLE!!
Note: The conclusion of the French and Indian War resulted in
the Paris Peace Treaty when France soundly lost; ultimately this led to
the American Revolution as the colonists now were no longer afraid of
war with Britain and saw it as perhaps the only way to end British
dominance and obligations of little or no value to the new country
citizens. The Webbs were involved in both the French and Indian
War and the issues of the forthcoming American Revolution.

Plain
Dealer(Cleveland,Ohio), Feb. 28, 1928, p. 23:
OBITUARY
FOR Margaret Fuller (nee Houck),
age 78 years, Feb. 25,
1928. Beloved wife of the late Martin. Mother of:
- Mrs. Edward Joyce (This is Francis P. Fretter,
daughter of Margaret Houck when married to Peter Fretter)
- Mrs. Leland Paddock (this is Effie Webb who is
married to Leland Paddock now)
- Thomas D. Fretter (Peter and Margaret's son)
- John Henry (Peter and Margaret's son)
- Wildrick
Fetter (???Perhaps Margaret's stepson?)
- Robert Roy Fuller. (son of Margaret and Robert
Fuller; and full sibling of Effie Fuller)
Mom Margaret
Houck Fuller was born 11/11/1851 in Cleveland OH and died
there on Feb 23, 1928, widow of husband and Civil War
veteran Martin Fuller. Margaret resided at 1666 West
39th St in Cleveland when she died but this is evidently now
a vacant lot. There is no gravestone for her, but she
and Martin are at same cemetery: Monroe Street Cemetery
in Cleveland Plot: Section: D. Lot: 04, Grave: 03.

Effie's second husband George Anson Webb working

|
| 1930 Census |
George, Effie and all kids
living together in Avon Lake, OH. Does
this mean that Paddock and Effie were only married for a couple
of years at most?? Did George take her into his home in
1930 or so for sake of their kids between her many marriages?
1930 Census for Lorain, Avon Lake, OH:
 |
|
| OCT 9, 1933 |
But Effie, wanting to
marry yet again, is listed on this marriage license as the
daughter of Martin H. Fuller and Margaret Houck Fuller
(Correct) AND Effie lists a former husband (appearing to be only
one she notes on license as "Webb" who is "Dec'd" (dead).
What happened to George Webb? This is 1933. George lives
until 1952. Appears to be the lies we tell the marriage license
board...hummm. George Webb will not be dead for many years
and she has conveniently evidently excluded other marriages also
to Beranek and Paddock.
THIS
MARRIAGE IS TO JOSEPH JESSIE FALL. They were wed on October 9,
1933 in Cuyahoga County, OH. He lists one previous divorce
(name unknown).

Grandparents on Webb maternal side:
Helen Mae Webb (July 28, 1916 in OH - September 3, 1986 in OH)
Joseph Michael Horvath, Jr. ("Mickey")
(April 7, 1910 NJ- died
Jan 31 1972 OH)
Effie and George Anson Webb's daughter Helen married twice. The first
marriage is the more important one to this lineage. The second
marriage was to a stepfather (Mr. Vanderlin) to her children.
On July 3, 1935, with the "consent of her parents," Effie and George Anson
Webb, Helen Webb married Joseph Horvath, Jr. in Cleveland, OH.
This was their first marriage. She was 18 and residing at 2021 West
47th Street in Cleveland at the time she wed.
Her residence was the small two-story home was built in 1900 with 4
bedrooms and 2 baths.
Her husband Joseph Horvath was 25 and had been living at 1742 W 24th St
in Trenton, NJ where he was working as a window cleaner.
His parents listed on the marriage license are Joseph Horvath and Mary
Horamy Horvath.
Joseph and Helen married in Cuyahoga County, OH.
JULY 3, 1935: (about age 18) FIRST MARRIAGE WHICH EVIDENTLY ENDED
IN DIVORCE.
Joseph "Mickey" Horvath and wife Helen Webb Horvath had two children; a
Joan who died young or infancy; followed by Phyllis Mae Horvath
who gave him 6 living grandchildren at the time of Joseph's death.
It appears they were married for many years although the
death notice indicates he was "divorced" sometime before his death on
January 28, 1972 at a long term facility in North Olmsted, Cuyahoga County
OH.
Joseph Michael Horvath is buried at West Park Cem. in
Cleveland OH.
His obituary in the Plain Dealer Newspaper on Jan 31 reads:
https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=128926410
Their daughter Phyllis Horvath, who grew up to marry Benjamin Wesley
Cator, is listed in this obit
as Mrs. Phyllis Cator. He is listed as the granddad of six.
14 years later, Helen Webb Horvath Quinlan died on 3 Sept 1986 in OH.
She passed away at Southwest General Hospital in Middleburg Hts, Cuyahoga OH
at the age of 70. Helen is listed as a registered nurse for Personnel
Supply Service. Helen was autopsied for purposes of a death
certificate but the findings are not known on this. At the time of her
death, she was the widow of __________ Quinlan according to this record.
I am so far not identifying Mr. Quinlan.
Interesting Tidbit!
Effie May and George Anson Webb had a son,
your Great Uncle, named George Martin "Spider" Webb.
He served in World War II in the US Army. "Spider"
married twice and his second wife was Lucy K. "The Brat"
Aumock Webb. They are buried at Chestnut Grove
Cemetery in Ashland OH, complete with the nicknames engraved
upon their shared tombstone!
What might be the story behind these
curiously surprising and
most unusual nicknames??? Do you know?
