Narrative:
Rev. Wellington Edwin Webb was born on 20 Dec 1816 in London, England

He immigrated in 1828 to the United States, presumably with his parents, since he was only twelve years old. Several otherwise well sourced online trees report, without source citations, that his father died about 1865 in Hanover Court House, Virginia, and his mother died in Paterson, New Jersey, suggesting some sort of family information. But no actual record of either of them in the United States has been found.18
