It was said that Sir Henry Alexander Webb (1510-1544) established the family
for all future time, since to him "for valiant deeds of his father", Sir John
Alexander Webb, of Oldstock, "who was an officer under Kings Henry VII and
VIII", the present generally accepted emblem, or coat of arms, was granted.
This heraldic ensigna of rank in the New Nobility, that of the thegus, owe
their origin in personal service to the prince then reigning. The New Nobility
was accordingly one of office due to meritorious service. The device of
hereditary coat of armour, a growth of the twelfth century, did much to define
and mark out the noble class throughout Europe. When once acquired by grant
of the Sovereign, it went on from generation to generation. They who possessed
the right of coat of armour formed the class of nobility or gentry.

Webb (Shakespeare's grandmother) married Robert Arden, brother of Grace.

SIR HENRY WEBB was born on May 15, 1350.
The WEBB family was originally from Dorset, one of the shires in England.
For nearly two hundred years the WEBBs had resided in this place before
Alexander Jr with his four sons came to America. The brothers had become
quite wealthy. They sold their estate in England for a large sum of money
prior to their departure. This English property was inherited through their
ancestor, Sir Henry Webb. A copy of the letter which Catherine Parr sent her
Council (Cabinet Ministers) asking them to grant her beloved friend, Henry
Webb, the lands and estates that had been mentioned for him is still in existence.
These lands had been confiscated by the King at the suppression of the
monasteries and were located in Dorsetshire, England. In later years they
became of value to the children who came to America.
