Webb Family Cemetery
Macon Co., NC

Surveyed May 28, 2005

Directions: From downtown Highlands, take Hwy. 28 toward Walhalla, SC. Go 1.5 miles. Turn right onto Brushy Face Road. Go about 2/10 mile. Turn left at a small sign reading "Tennis Court". Park at the tennis court near the stone fireplace. Take the trail leading around the right-hand side of the tennis court, across a small field, and straight into the woods. The cemetery is about 20 feet from the edge of the woods surrounded by a small white fence.

Notes: The fireplace near the tennis court is part of the remains of the homeplace of William and Lucretia Gibson Webb, according to the book "A Web of Webbs: Our Book of Webbs and Related Families" by Louise Webb Bassinger and Kathleen Webb Faulkner (self-published, 1995). On pages 34 and 35 of this book, the authors describe the old home place and cemetery. Some notes from this book are included in the cemetery survey below. Other notes are taken from sources as noted. Of the three stones which were marked, two were hand-carved (presumably by William Webb), and the other, the stone of William Webb, was placed by the Department of Veterans. The two hand-carved stones were extremely difficult to read.
