You have a listing for an Isaac Webb, born in NC to John Webb and Amy Booker.

Our gr-gr-grandfather was Alfred Booker Webb b 1818 NC. We can find him in Wayne Co. TN in 1875 involved in settling an estate for Isaac Webb of Smith Co, Tn. It appears that two sisters, Harriett D. Beasley & Ann M. Howard inherited each half of the land on the Cumberland River. Harriett was deceased so her half was split between her brothers and sisters: Elizabeth A. Johnson, Salina N. Staley, Ann M. Norwood, Frances M. Bumpass, Alfred B. Webb, John E. Webb and G.E.N. Lyles. Note the unusual spelling of the two Harrietts. As in Isaac Webb's spouse Harriett Dickens. If you see anything that would be of help to us we would be grateful. ... My brother is doing the tree ... His e-mail is alelia@alltel.net and his name is Ed Webb.
I would be so grateful if you would respond even if you have no help.
Thank you
