Do you know of Webb's Hill ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Webb's Hill. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Webb's Hill.<1>

Our sources for Webb's Hill (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Webb's Hill other than they indicate that Webb's Hill would be found somewhere in Franklin County, Illinois.
