It would be a mistake if we were to believe that most non-paternity events were due to what some call “the milk-man” effect or infidelity. This could account for a significant portion of the events, but there are many other reasons that these incidents occurred.

From the Administrator Dear Project Members,

To those members who have taken the Family Finder test and have signed up for the conversion [before February 16th], you should be receiving your results on or before April 15th. Many of them have already come in. To the few of you who didn’t sign up, your results will be automatically converted to the new platform after the others are completed.

FTDNA is changing over to the Illumina Omni platform because it “offers better potential for future upgrade options.” There are some rumors floating around about what those upgrade options might be, but nothing substantiated yet, so I will have my ear to the ground, and as soon I learn what those new options will include I will let everyone know.

I would like to thank Kathy McHale for her hard work and generosity by providing us with her compilation of the Essex Co. MA Probate Records Index found in this issue. She did a tremendous job, and I am very grateful to her for donating her time and research talent to help the project.

Often a sister would take her siblings children if there were a death or misfortune in the family. Epidemics were not uncommon and they could leave children without both parents. Wars and economic situations often split families and created situations where children were forced to leave their birth families to be raised as someone else’s children. Stepchildren very often took their stepfather’s name. Grandparents would frequently raise a grandchild born out of wedlock as their own child. Social pressures to hide illegitimate pregnancies dictated the frequency of covering up these occurrences. Perhaps a girl would get pregnant out of wedlock and “seamlessly” marry someone other than the father who then raised the child as his own. Instances of friends and neighbors raising one or more child from another family was not uncommon. All kinds of situations arose and families came up with a myriad of solutions, and we may have a hard time detecting what they were.

In many cases, DNA testing can give us the ability to know that an NPE has occurred in our line, particularly when the DNA has been broken more recently. It is easier to detect because lo and behold, we seem to match [with frequency] people with another surname rather than our own. Then the challenge becomes why, when and by whom. If your “given surname” doesn’t match your “DNA surname” the following are some ways to try to determine where the NPE occurred:

1. Search census records for people with your “DNA surname” who lived near your family. Be certain you check all generations and all places that your family lived. When censuses are not available, use tax lists, land records and court records. 2. If your “DNA surname” matches the surname of someone who was known to have married into your family, check their household[s] for children’s names, deaths of spouses, etc. Sometimes you can find your ancestor in his original household at a younger age, and with his original surname. The same goes for neighbors or friends of your family with your “DNA surname.” 3. Check your ancestor’s household[s] and look closely at the age of your ancestor vs. the age of the mother in the household. If she seems too old to be the mother of your ancestor, she may have been a grandmother raising her daughter’s child [or someone else’s] as her own. 4. Examine closely the ages and birth dates of your ancestor’s children. You may be able to pick up an overlap of the ages of your ancestor and one of his “siblings.” THE WEBB BULLETIN Page 3

5. Try to determine through marriage bonds and records, and/or careful examination of early census records, whether your ancestor may have had more than one marriage and may have become the stepfather of his wife’s children. One of these could end up being your ancestor. 6. Look at parish records and check the marriage date of your ancestor against the date of the birth of the couple’s first child. 7. Study Wills for clues that might show favor of one child over the other or spell out relationships. Sometimes the Wills of uncles, aunts, grandparents or siblings are more likely to reveal an NPE than the father or mother’s Will. One shouldn’t automatically 8. Check birth and death certificates to try and rule in or out an NPE occurring in the last 100 years or so. They may or may not list the correct father. assume that just because they 9. Recruit the most distant cousin you can find to test for DNA. If you match, haven’t made a match in the then you know that the NPE occurred at or before your common ancestor. If project, it must be due to an that cousin doesn’t match your “DNA surname,” but matches others with your “given surname” then you can be relatively certain the NPE occurred in a NPE.

We may eventually uncover or prove some ancient NPE’s within our project, but whether an NPE occurred 50 years ago or 500 years ago, I hold the opinion that it isn’t only the DNA that makes us a Webb, but more importantly, it is the relationships and family itself that make us Webbs. DNA testing is the science and the tool we use to trace our heritage, but it can’t measure the love, traditions and the family connections. Those are the things, along with our shared history, that truly link us to our family names.

Note: All of our members have a connection to a Webb family through either a male or female line. Some have proven their Webb connection by DNA; others, although participants in DNA testing, rely on strong paper trails to prove their connection. This article was written with our Y-DNA participants in mind, whether they have the Webb surname or know they are Webbs by DNA, but go by another name. I acknowledge that we have many members who are not participants in the Y-DNA aspect of our project, but the information provided here can be applied to any surname and surname DNA project where an NPE has been discovered or suspected. I hope that everyone will find the ideas presented here useful if they suspect a non-paternity event.

George P. Cramer “….resident of Iowa since 1849, three years after the state’s admission into the Union, he is entitled to the designation “early pioneer,” and also to the respectful consideration which attaches to that name everywhere..

… The genealogy will be started with the grandparents on either side, both of whom were Pennsylvanians of some note in their day. Christopher Crane, the maternal grandfather, served as a soldier in the war of 1812, and paternal grandfather Cramer, who spelled his name with an initial K, was a minister in the Lutheran church. The latter had a son, Christian J. Cramer, who was born at the family home in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and after he grew up learned the trade of harnessmaker. He married Barbara Crane, of Huntington, and later settled in Blair county, Pennsylvania…. It was while his parents resided in Blair county that their son, George P. Cramer was born, march 16, 1834, and he spent the first fifteen years of his life in the place of his nativity. In 1849 the family migrated to the distant state of Iowa by the somewhat crude and mingled methods of travel then in vogue, and after their destination was reaches a home was established in the county of Fairfield, Jefferson township. They moved on a farm, but came to Albia in the spring of 1850.

THE WEBB BULLETIN Page 8

….On April 26, 1856, Mr. Cramer married to Miss Rachel Webb, whose ancestry is deserving of more than passing notice. Her great-grandparents, Adrian and Lucinda Webb, were Virginians, who removed to Ohio early in the nineteenth century. Among their children was a son named John, who served as a substitute for his father in the war of 1812 and drew a pension. He owned a farm in Preble county, Ohio, and there, on the 28th of September, 1818, was born to him a son named Jacob. The latter remained under the paternal roof until the completion of his twentieth year, when he went to Iowa and the fall of 1838 located in Van Buren county. Not being satisfied with the situation, he “about-faced” and went to Rush county, Indiana, and a few years later to Jefferson county in that same state. In the spring of 1846 he retuned to Iowa, took possession of a farm in Monroe county and operated it until elected clear of the court, in which office he served three terms. In 1855 he went to California, spent two years there and in July, 1857, reappeared at his home in Albia after a tedious trip across the plains. In 1860 he took another trip west, this time on a prospecting expedition, which lasted about eighteen months, and since then Mr. Webb has resided at Albia. In 1840 he was married to Sarah J., daughter of David and Susan [Donney] Caldwell, natives of Kentucky, who died in Iowa. One of the children by this marriage was Mrs. Rachel Cramer, who was born in Rush county, Indiana, December 4, 1840, and died in Albia, Iowa, December 22, 1882, leaving three children….”

Isaac N. Trimble “Isaac N. Trimble, who resides on section 31, Mantua township, is one of Monroe county’s native sons…..He was born on the farm where he now lives, July 6, 1854, and is a son of Thomas Trimble… [Thomas Trimble] was born in Kentucky in 1817 and was reared and educated in that state. Going to Indiana, he was there married to Miss Elizabeth Webb, a native daughter of the Hoosier state, and a daughter of John Webb, who was a soldier of the Revolutionary war and afterward drew a pension. In 1850 they came to Iowa by team and wagon and were among the first to locate in Mantua township, Monroe county, where the father purchased two hundred and sixty acres of land and developed a farm, making it his home up to the present time. He has been called upon to mourn the loss of his wife, who was a most estimable lady and faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church. She passed away in 1877, at the age of forty-five year…”

Genealogical and biographical record of north-eastern Kansas 1900

Major Morrill m. Mary Webb Major Morrill was born in Westbrook, Cumberland county, Maine, on the 12th of February, 1834, which was the birthday of President Lincoln. He is of English lineage, the Morrill family having been founded in America by three brothers of that name who emigrated from England in 1620 and thereby became pioneer settlers of the new world. His father, Rufus Morrill, was born in Maine, in 1796, and was a tanner and currier by trade, which business he followed for many years. He was chosen as on of the selectmen of the town and was an influential citizen. He married Miss Mary Webb, a native of Maine, and also of English descent. Her father was Edward Webb, on of the valiant soldiers of the Revolutionary war.

He was married on the 31st of December, of that year, to Miss Nancy Gubb, a lady of intelligence and culture, who was to her husband a faithful companion and helpmeet. She was born near Greencastle, Putnam county, Indiana, a daughter of C. C. and Charlotte [Webb] Gubb. Her father was born in Delaware, of German parentage, and was married, in Putnam county, Indiana, to Miss Webb, who was a native of Kentucky. They came to Kansas in 1858. Mr. Gubb was an Abolitionist and a warm personal friend of John Brown, who often visited at his home, bringing with him negro slaves whom he was conducting on their way to freedom….”

Charles S. Randolph m. Mollie M. Webb “…On the 19th of February, 1883, Mr. Randolph was united in marriage to Miss Mollie M. Webb, daughter of William M. Webb, one of the prominent farmers of Wolf River township. He came to Doniphan county in 1864, from Grant county, Indiana, where he was born upon a farm May 6, 1840. Hs father, John Webb, located in Indiana at an early day, and died in the Hoosier state in 1842, at the age of fifty years. He was a native of North Carolina, and William M. Webb was the youngest of his nine children. The latter was married in March, 1863, to Angeline, a daughter of Joshua Small. Of this union were born two children, Mrs. Randolph and William R. The son married Miss Ella Hancock, and is now living in Wolf River township. Mr. and Mrs. Webb came to Kansas with limited means and purchased a small tract of unimproved land near Severance, upon which they have since built a beautiful and attractive home. They are among the leading citizens of the township, and have contributed in no small degree to the upbuilding and advancement of this section of the state.”

History of Shawnee County, Kansas, and representative citizens James Levi King, 1905

“Hon. W. C. Webb, deceased, was for many years a leading political factor in the state of Kansas, as well as an honored member of the Shawnee County bench. Judge Webb was born in Pennsylvania, coming from a family of lawyers, legislators and soldiers.

The father of Judge Webb and his three brothers were lawyers, two of the brothers being district judges and one a circuit judge, and his three sons are also lawyers, and six of the eight have been elected to the legislative halls of their various States. His grandfather was a private soldier in a Connecticut regiment during the Revolutionary War; his father and grandfather both served as private soldiers in the second war with Great Britain, 1812-15, and Judge Webb and his three brothers, his oldest son and his sister’s two sons, all served in the Union Army during the Civil War.

After of the close of the Civil War, in 1866, Judge Webb came to Kansas. His earlier life had been one of industry and activity and he had already reaped many laurels. He commenced his career as a practical printer and he edited and published a Democratic paper for some years in Pennsylvania, but left that political organization on account of its pro- slavery attitude, and in 1854 he assisted in the organization of the Republican party. Shortly after his admission to the bar, he removed to Wisconsin and enlisted from that State and after the close of three years of service had won the rank of colonel through personal bravery.

During his residence in Wisconsin, Judge Webb supported Republican principles, was there elected several times to the Legislature and was made county judge and district attorney. After coming to Kansas he was three times elected to the Legislature and held many offices, including county attorney, judge of the District Court, judge of the Superior Court of Shawnee County and others. He was, also, the first insurance commissioner of the State and was Supreme Court reporter during the time covered from Vol. 6 to Vol. 20.

With his experience of more than 40 years as a lawyer, he made a remarkable record as a lawyer and a jurist. He was one of the best informed men in legal circles, but was not a brilliant orator or a spellbinder. His work, however, was so accurate and his conclusions so sound that he was widely consulted on intricate points by his brother attorneys, who knew that complete confidence could be placed in his conclusions. It was a matter of pride with him that the Supreme Court had upheld every bill which he had adjudged perfect. He owned of the of the best law libraries in the State, and was the author of works himself, his last labor of this kind being the compilation of the “Revised Statutes of Kansas.” Authorized by the previous Legislature.

In 1891 he released himself from the Republican party and became an advocate of the principles of the Populist party, and in 1896 was a candidate for the Populist nomination for chief justice of the Supreme Court.

Judge Webb died April 19, 1898, at his home, No. 827 Quincy street, Topeka, which continues to be the family residence. He was survived by his widow and four children, the latter being as follows: Sarah [Mrs. George L. Walker], of Kansas City, Kansas, whose husband died in February, 1903; Linus S., of Parsons, Kansas; Mary W. [Mrs. George L. Walker], of Topeka, and Lovell H., of Winfield, Kansas.”

A Memorial and biographical record of Kansas City and Jackson County, MO - 1896

“Hon. William Larkin Webb, editor and proprietor of the Independence Progress, Independence, Missouri is a gentlemen well known in western Missouri, and needs no introduction here.

As early as 1832 Mr. Webb’s grandfather, Larkin Webb, came from Giles county, Tennessee, to this state and settled in Jackson county. About a year later he purchases land on the Sni creek, in the northern part of Van Buren township, where his closing years were spent, and where he died, leaving a widow and family of small children. His son, Andrew Jackson Webb, the father of our subject, was born in Giles county, Tennessee, July, 1831, and was therefore only a year old at the time of their emigration to Jackson county. At his father’s death Andrew J. was yet a mere boy, but upon him devolved the principal care and support of the family, and he provided for them as best he could as long as his mother lived. He was married in 1855 to Miss Sarah Ann Lynch, a native of Platte county, Missouri, born in 1832. Soon after their marriage he purchased a tract of new land in Van Buren township, built a cabin on it, settled there and devoted his energies to the improvement and cultivation of his farm. He still makes his home on it. During the civil war he was a soldier in the Confederate army and served under General Shelby, being in the ranks about three years. He and his wife and the parents of five children, namely: William Larkin, David R., Mary E., George A. and Midian M.

William Larkin was born on his father’s farm January 12, 1856, and made it his home until 1891, being absent, however, much of the time. After completing his studies in the common schools he attended the normal school at Warrensburg, Missouri, and the William Jewell College in Liberty, this state, and after leaving college was for some time engaged in teaching, spending his winters in the schoolroom and his summers in work on the farm. Also he served as deputy assessor of Van Buren township. In the summer of 1887 he was appointed by President Cleveland to the position of United States gauger for the western district of Missouri. This office he filled for about one year, when he resigned. In the summer of 1888 he was nominated for the state legislature, to represent the first district, and in the fall of that year was elected by a large majority. In 1890 he was re-elected. While a member of that honorable body he rendered able service on a number of committees, among which were the emigration committee, internal improvement committee and the committee on local bills: of the first named he was chairman.

In 1891, at the close of his second term in the legislature, Mr. Webb came to Independence and assumed the editorship of the Independence Progress. A few months later he purchased a half interest in the paper, still a few months later bought the other half, and has since been sole owner and proprietor. The Progress is a bright, neat and newsy sheet, has a circulation of about 800, and under the present management is enjoying prosperity. Mr. Webb takes an active interest in all that pertains to the public good. He is public-spirited and generous, and can be depended upon to aid with his influence and means any movement which promises to advance the best interests of his town. In his religious views he is broad and liberal. Politically, he has always acted with the democratic party. He is a member of both the Masonic order and the Knights of Pythias… March 15, 1894, in Independence, he was married to Miss Mabel Brown, daughter of the late Dr. J. T. Brown, of this city, where she was born and reared.
