Bob:
I am not certain if the parentage of Richard Webber of Marblehead is now. Following is what Prentiss Glazier writes:
JOHN WEBBER and wife Sarah of “Limehouse” had their son JOHN Jr. bp. 1628 in the adjacent parish of Stepney. This June 1977 discovery brings a clear perspective, and confirming our previous speculations. The father, a mariner, owned land at Marblehead prior to 1650, when his widow, of “Limehouse”, conveyed the property, JOHN Jr. was prob. In Boston by 1652, and a shipmaster at Charleston at Charlestown in 1664; he projects as prob. gr. father of the tgrio settling at Ipswich.
RICHARD WEBBER, (settler at Marblehead, and b. probably. ab. 1641), may therefore hve been a younger son (or perhaps grandson) of the first JOHN. Since Capt. THOS of Boston (and w. Sarah) had also had Stephey associations, we may assume close kinship to the older JOHN, -----older son, or younger brother of JOHN? “Family tradition” claims origin from Cornwall, (the shire west of Devon) and there is a strong possibility that the London-area family had in fact come from either shire,--there were many very early WEBBERS in both.
