William Julius Webb is definitely Isaiah's father. Read below, that is not even a doubt or question, the question is who is William Julius Webb's father and mother....
I found Isaiah Thomas Webb much of this information you already know, he was married twice.
FIRST and most importantly: as Familysearch seems to be a bit unreliable more and more if you look at William Julius Webb's profile and the profile of his father there are a lot of discrepancies.

William Julius Webb along with his 4 siblings were born in Wales. If father, while not odd, was born in England. The problem is he is married to Jemima Bird and a Susannah Unknown at the same time and has children in both Wales and in England. Jemima died in 1810
I do not believe the correct father's or mother's are attached.
In reading the history, (I obviously have never been to the cemetery), where Isaiah is buried there are 5 headstones together. One is not legible and supposedly might belong to William Julius Webb, the father who moved to Missouri after burying his wife Ester.
Know that I am fully aware that you possibly already know any or all of the information I am adding here. I apologize if it is nothing new.
As far as William Julius Webb - He apparently or supposedly went by the name "Julius" more so than William
He married Esther C. Hall on 12/24/1810
I am sure you are aware of the story of the Five brothers that came to America from Wales on a "BIG BOAT". One served as an aide-de-camp to George Washington. That would be Samuel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Blachley_Webb
NOTE: The term "Big Boat" is also the name used at times to mean the Mayflower
Brother 2, William Julius Webb I, went from Virginia to Tennessee, Indian Territory, where he married a full-blooded Cherokee Indian maid named Ester.
William owned and operated a large plantation. He had several slaves which Isaiah Thomas (a son) did not approve of, so Isaiah left home. Later, Ester died and was buried in a little cemetery on the Reelfoot Lake."
This came from the Mayflower site:
Peter Webb b. 12/1/1657 Braintree, Norfolk, MA d. 2/12/1716/17 Salem, Essex, MA married Ruth Bass
Christopher Webb b. 3/25/1663 d. March 1689/90 m. Mary Bass 5/24/1686 in Braintree, Norfolk, MA. and died at sea off Nantasket.(Ruth Bass was her sister and their mother was Ruth Alden and her grandparents were John Alden and Priscilla of the Wadsworth poem.)
William T. Webb married Elenora Bramhall b. 7/24/1859 (had 5 children in Roseville, Ill.
Samuel Webb b. 1660-80 married Hannah Ripley b. 3/2/1684/85. Her Great Grandfather was William Bradford.
I also found this:
POSSIBLE ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM JULIUS WEBB
Joseph Webb, and his wife, Mehitabel Nott
James Webb b. 1/27/1744 - d. 1767 or 1787 - Windham M.E. & son Josiah Webb b.5/12/1765 d. 9/8/1849
OR Samuel Blatchley, a descendant of Richard Webb, Dorsetshire, England & came to Cambridge, Mass 1626.
Father Webb (Samuel Blachley Webb or another William JuliusWebb) and his four brothers came over on the "Big Boat" from Wales. Wife was possible Anna Givens and one of their sons, William Julius Webb, born in Rutherford or Bedford County Tennessee February 5or15, 1791 married a Cherokee Indian (Princess) maid Esther Hall b. 1793 (raised by missionaries?). Her father may have been Cherokee Chief Braton/Bratton.
Two known children were:
Isaiah Thomas Webb 1/13/1815 - 10/4/1889 (m. Mary Moore 6/26/1836)
Jeremiah (Jerry) Webb Abt. 1818 (m. Peggy Staford 10/31/1838 in Gibson Co.)
Melvin Webb married Claire Marie Ramsey - those are the parents of Country singer Loretta Lynn.
