Mary (Barton) Webb was still living there in June, 1900 during the census. Mary's mother, Martha, was left a widow with a lot of children to raise. Her known children were:

Isaiah is enumerated in the 1850 and 1860 census of Walker Co., AL and is shown with a wife, Martha. Following are their children:
