Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [284]

           WILLIAM E. WEBB,  farmer, section 4, Sand Beach Township, is a
        son of JOHN and SARAH (SHEPARD) WEBB, of English nativity, who emi-
        grated to Canada in 1842, and lived there the remainder of their
        lives, MR. W. dying July 25, 1870, and MRS. W., Oct. 3, 1867.
           In the above family were four children, of whom WILLIAM E., the
        subject of this notice, is the youngest. He also was born in
        England, July 23, 1830, and attended the common schools of his
        native country until the emigration of the family to this country
        in 1842. He remained with his father until his death, as an assis-
        tant on the farm, which then came into his possession, and which
        he occupied until the spring of 1882, when he sold it and came to
        Huron County. He bought a half-section of wild land in Sand Beach
        Township, built a fine dwelling, and began to advance the improve-
        ment and value of the place; now has about 45 acres in a good state
        of arability.
           In general politics, MR. WEBB is in sympathy with the Republican
        party.
           He was married in Canada Feb. 1, 1855, to MISS MARY, daughter of
        WILLIAM and ELIZABETH (INGHAM) HINDLEY, natives of England, who
        emigrated to Canada in 1834, where they passed the remainder of
        their lives, MR. H. dying Sept. 5, 1857, and his widow May 23,1865.
        MRS. W. was born in Canada Feb. 5, 1836, and there are now in her
        family the following children: JOHN H., born Nov. 12, 1855; ANNIE
        M., born Feb. 3, 1858 (wife of JAMES RITCHIE); and ERMINA D., born
        Sept 1, 1861.
