From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've attempted to provide information about Delia Webster, Abolitionist from published sources by Randolph Paul Runyon and Frances Eisan and a family genealogy book published about 1910, titled "Governor John Webster, Connecticut Colonial Governor."

This book includes records from the 1630s to published date and proves my relationship to Delia Webster. It can be viewed through "Internet Archive" using the book title. Other notable family members are Noah Webster, lexicographer, and "Half-Hanged" Mary Reeve Webster accused, hanged and survived witchcraft accusations. Author Margaret Atwood claims relationship to Mary and I've not seen the links to this. Daniel Webster was believed to be from another Webster family until recently "Geni" genealogy info states there is a link between the two familiesThe John Webster genealogy book contains info and listing

abu otothers that married Websters, they are alphabetized separately so anyone can easily locate these folks.

Because Delia Webster was an Abolitionist and she helped a lot of folks, i find it very sad that her grave is unmarked. She's buried near her sister's family and I am attempting to raise funds to get her a grave marker. While sharing her story on social media, there has been very favorable response when folks learn of her so I hope to find a media outlet that will share her during Womens History Month, hopefully to fully fund her grave marker. Please contact me if you are interested in assisting with this. Thank you.
