John Webster

Home

Please note: Other than listing the children of John and Margaret (plus their basic information), 
I am not actively pursuing lineage of their descendants at this time. If a descendant steps forward 
with data, documentation and photos, I will gladly add it, but I am not currently researching this line.
This basic data was added becasue of the connection of John's brother (James Webster) to Elizabeth Nancy Bowman (my primary line of research).
