Thomas occupation was farmer and during the 1840's had about 10 slaves to help on the farm. He died in the early 1850's, before 1854, as recorded in the will of his father Edmund Webb. (per notes of Carl Anderson, Dec 1997)

In 1850 Census it is noted that the Webb's (Edmund B.'s family of which Thomas was a son) lived next to the Chambliss family. This may have been where Sarah and Thomas met.

Marriage Notes for THOMAS WEBB and SARAH CHAMBLISS:
It is possible the birth age for Sarah is incorrect as in the marriage bond, she has the consent of her father to mary. This would have made her under 21 at the time of her marriage when by her noted age she would have been 26.(records of Mary m. Chambless, machamok@brightok.net)
