I'm hoping someone has this Webb family in their database, but if not
maybe someone can help me.

My gg grandfather was Joel Webb (b. 1837)

In 1860 he's listed on the Milton Co census with wife Sarah: his age 23,
hers 18

In 1870 they show up on the Forsyth Co census in the Big Creek area, his
age, hers 23. I figure her age is probably a transcription error. I can
easily see an 8 looking like a 3 thus her age would be 28 which would
work.

In 1880 Joel Webb is listed back in Milton Co (Alpharetta) with wife
Arzelia Webb. His age 43, hers 29. They also have living in the
household: Sarah M age 8, James A, age 2 and Joel J., age 21.

I know that Joel Webb married Arzelia Perkins on June 18, 1871 in
Cherokee Co, Ga. from Cherokee Co on-line marriage data. I can see Joel
and Sarah being married up to 1870, her possibly dying in childbirth or
illness and him remarrying.

But who is she? Does anyone have Joel and Sarah Webb in their database
or can anyone check the Forsyth/Milton marriage data somewhere around
1865-1870 for a marriage between Joel Webb and Sarah (unknown).

And does anyone have any idea of who Joel J age 21 in 1880 in Milton Co
census could be? He doesn't show up on any of the census records with
Joel and Sarah in 1860 or 1870. His dob would be about 1859 so he could
be their son but where has he been living? Any theories?
