Zebulon Webb obituary, 1819
from the New Jersey Mirror 15 Dec 1819 On the night of December 7, 1819, a man by the name of Zebulon Webb, who resided about 20 miles from Mount Holly, on a road leading to the sea shore, put an end to his existence, by hanging himself in his own house. We understand he went to bed as usual, got up in the night unknown to his wife and family, and was found dead in the morning, hanging by the neck. On December 8, 1819, a Coroner's Inquest was held upon the body, by which Inquisition it was found, that the deceased came to his death by voluntarily and feloniously hanging himself with a cord. The deceased left a wife and several children to lament his unnatural and untimely death.

Webb, of Webbsville, after killing his brother, John Webb, in a quarrel, walked 16 miles to Toms River on Saturday(presumably a reference to October 16, 1909) and gave himself up to the Sheriff after confessing murder. Search revealed the dead body of his brother in his home. The man is believed to be insane 27 Oct 1909 Inquistors appointed by the Coroner to investigate the death of John L. Webb, of Webbsville, Jackson township, in Ocean county, brought in a verdict that Webb came to his death from pistol-shot wounds inflicted by his brother, David L. Webb, who is now in Toms River jail, he having walked sixteen miles to surrender to the authorities. During the inquest the funeral of the murdered
