My research is on the Webster family that came to the Roane County area of Tennessee sometime in the early 1800's. The first known was Nancy, who had three children: David, Orlena and Attila. We believe that her husband was Dedrick and that her maiden name may have been Bearden. Dedrick or Deadrick was from MA, Nancy from MD. Below are the individuals I am researching as of now:
David Webster b. 1817or 18?TN-d.4-9-77 in Roane Co., TN son of Deadrick Webster (b? -d.?) and Nancy Bearden?Webster (b. 1780-90? -d. 1853). Deadrick was from MA and Nancy from MD. They came to TN before the birth of their three children, David (married Elizabeth Bohannan), Adalia (mother of Bob Webster?) and Orlana (married Anderson Sharp)
David served in F Company 43rd Tennessee Infantry, CSA
