Hi, Sorry but I couldn't get back to you sooner regarding your query. The details I have are: William Tebb was born in 1734 in Donnington and his wife was Mary Warriner who was born in 1736.William and Mary had a daughter Sussanah in 1765 who died in 1768. They also named another daughter Sussanah who was born in 1773. They had 13 children. I don't have a Richard Tebb so far in my searches, but Williams father was Robert Tebb who married an Elizabeth Gilding and she was born in 1696. Hope this helps, and if you should have any info, please feel free to pass it on, I am always looking for more. Thanks and have a great week.

Just for information sake, the following is from my book Lands and Lesser Gentry of Eastern Westmoreland County, Vrginia, 1650-c.1840:

There were four Daniel Tebbs/Tibbs in a row, making them a bit hard to trace. The first notation of a Daniel Tebbs in Westmoreland was on July 29, 1698, when he was involved in one of John Garner, Jr.’s many lawsuits. In 1703, he was a sub-sheriff of the county. In 1713, he gave a deposition stating: "he came to the country . . . about twenty six years agoe" [1687]. He may well have married the daughter of Willoughby Allerton. In the 1713 deposition, he referred to Allerton as ‟his master.” In 1705, Willoughby Allerton granted a lease for life in Tatley Hall to Daniel and Ellinor Tebbs. From then through the 1720s, he was a frequent litigator on his own. In 1702, Robert ‟King” Carter appointed Daniel Tebbs, ‟Gent.” as his agent for collections. Carter was the agent for the Lords Proprietors and possibly the most powerful man in the Colony. This would have been a real elevation in status for Tebbs, but the use of the word gentleman implies that he may have achieved high status before.

***************

Daniel (3) Tebbs (c.1714-1762)


We know that Daniel Tebbs received around 910 acres from the Carr family in the 1740s. This would have been Daniel (3), who was the major landowner of the family. His father, Daniel (2), died in Prince William County in 1742, leaving daughters Hannah Hartley, Margaret Atwell, Charlotte Tebbs and sons Daniel (3), James, William, George, Charles and Foushee. Daniel (2)’s widow was Charlotte, apparently Foushee. The will lists no property in Westmoreland
