Extract from Grahamstown Journal of Friday 1 January 1869
Fatal Accident We regret to have to chronicle a sad and fatal accident that occurred in the vicinity of the Komgha yesterday. A son of Mr. Joseph WEBB, a young man about twenty years of age, was engaged in taking out a bee’s nest, when he fell over a Krantz and was killed. The father of the unfortunate youth only left the farm that morning and the tidings of his death arrived in town before he was off-saddled. It may be imagined how distressing such a communication must have been. - KWT Gazette

Could this have been one of Joseph;s son's?

Joseph married Annie Stead on 14 Nov 1866 in St George's Cathedral, Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Annie was born about 1844. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Date of death given on the late C Jenner's record as 21 April 1831, presumably from a burial record for a John Webb in the Graham's Town Old Cemetery.
That John Webb, however, was 17 years old at death in 1831 but according to an older gravestone recording of the Old Cemetery the age on the gravestone should be 47 years 6 months. This would then make that person John (William) Webb's age.
According to Hugo Slater's 1820 Settler's, John's date of died on 23 July 1858 in Albany but quotes no source. The South African Settlers From the British Isles website quotes John's death as before 1839.
