• Notes

  [Williamson.FTW] At one time, Thomas lived in Rooster Town and operated a tub mill on Little Cr eek. Ella V Costner, "Song of Life in the Smokies", describes Thomas as being a very tall and powerfully built man. Thomas Webb was known as "Tom Cat" Webb by one and all. According to family tradition, the nickname of "Cat" was giv en in recognition of Thomas's hunting ability. He was skilled at killing pant hers, commonly called "cats" by the early settlers. Since panthers were plent iful in the early days and posed a threat to life and property, this was a rea l service to the people. Unfortunately, in his last years the old sharpshooti ng "Tom Cat" was blind. However, the nickname of "Cat" was applied to the nam es given to two of his sons, William and Isaac Webb. Thomas Webb married atle ast three times, maybe four. In the records of Wade Giles three marriages wer e found. The Cocke County Census verified three marriages. Elizabeth "Bets " Shults has been named by some as a wife between Mary and Lucinda, making fou r marriages a possibility.[Winch.FTW] [Winch3.ged] GEDCOM provided by Carolyn Proffitt Winch [Winch4.ged] GEDCOM provided by Carolyn Proffitt Winch [Winch6.ged] GEDCOM provided by Carolyn Proffitt Winch [Winch8.ged] GEDCOM provided by Carolyn Proffitt Winch
