Scott and Dursdemona Dora Webb.  He was born on April 13, 1874, in Lamar County, Alabama.  He grew up there and in Monroe County, Mississippi.  In 1903, at the age of 28, he married Minnie Bell Thompson, who was 21 at the time.  

Chris and Minnie had two children together, the year after and six years after they married.  Chris was a farmer and the couple lived in northeastern Monroe County their whole lives.  In 1920 the census found them thus:
