Notes
a. Note:   At one time, Thomas lived in Rooster Town and operated a tub mill on Little Creek. 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 given in recognition of Thomas's hunting ability. He was skilled at killing panthers, commonly called "cats" by the early settlers. Since panthers were plentiful in the early days and posed a threat to life and property, this was a real service to the people. Unfortunately, in his last years the old sharpshooting "Tom Cat" was blind. However, the nickname of "Cat" was applied to the names given to two of his sons, William and Isaac Webb. Thomas Webb married atleast three times, maybe four. In the records of Wade Giles three marriages were found. The Cocke County Census verified three marriages. Elizabeth "Bets" Shults has been named by some as a wife between Mary and Lucinda, making four marriages a possibility.
