Elder Isaac Webb of Hillsville, Va. This gifted and useful main is the sixth son of John and Hannah Webb and was born in Grayson County, Va., November 26, 1833. Was taught by his mother, who was a member of the Baptist Church before his birth, to read the Bible, at the tender age of seven, and he has read it through ten times since, and is fully established in it teachings. When a little boy eight years of age, he dreamed of seeing and conversing with Jesus, and from time to time afterward was taught in visions and dreams to view his lost condition, his salvation in Jesus, his duty toward the church and his call the ministry, but was for a long time disobedient. In his eighteenth year he was married to Miss Melissa correction: Malesia J. Martin and their children, grand children and great grand children and their families number about one hundred and sixty-five. He and his wife united with Fellowship Church in 1857. In 1865 on his return from the war, where he voluntarily went to keep from preaching, he was licensed, and three years later was ordained to the ministerial work. Elder Webb has continually since his ordination, had the care of churches and is at present pastor of four, and the Moderator of the New River Association. He has been in the ministry about forty-three years and during this period has traveled many miles preaching the gospel of Christ, has baptized many persons, married many couples and is highly esteemed among his people. He has also, in his past busy life, taught twenty-five schools, served twelve years as county treasurer, fifteen years as military officer, two terms in the legislature and judge under part of two legislative appointments. He and his faithful wife have lived to see all their children but one with their companions and several grand children, members of the Primitive Baptist Church. Their faithful labors have been blessed. God is still their refuge and though growing feeble in body they are strong in the Lord and are waiting their summons, "Child, your Father calls, come home."
