Mrs. Jeanette Webb was born in Hamilton County, Tenn., and is a 
daughter of George W. and Jeanette (Cloyd) Clingan. George W. was in 
all probability born and reared in Ohio, and emigrated from that State 
to Tennessee in 1825, when that part of the country was still a 
wilderness. He lived in Tennessee until his death, August, 1830. The 
mother, Jeanette Cloyd, was born in Ohio, and coming to Tennessee died 
in the same week that her husband did. The paternal grandfather was 
twice married. His first wife died in Tennessee, and the second in 
Clark County, Ark. The maternal grandparents were both natives of 
Ohio, where they passed their entire lives. Mrs. Webb, the subject of 
this sketch, was born April 20, 1827, and passed her early days with 
an uncle on the Hiwassee Purchase. After living two years among the 
Indians in the Indian Nation, she was taken to Hamilton County, and 
made her home with Joseph Roark until her marriage, in 1847, to 
Benjamin Webb. She is the mother of eleven children, all but three of 
whom are living. Mrs. Webb resided in Tennessee until 1871, and then 
lived one year in Missouri. Since that time she has lived in Crawford 
County, and since the death of her husband, July 22, 1881, has 
continued farming on the old place. She is a lady of more than 
ordinary business ability, and is an active member of the Missionary 
Baptist Church.
