At the time of his father's death in 1798 William was running the family's mill at Harrietsham in Kent. This mill was left to William in his father's will dated 1799 and it appears to be in part recompense for the payment by William of the debts of his brother-in-law William Pack.

The relevant part of his father's will is reproduced below:

"Also I give and bequeath unto my said son William Webb all that my Mill with the outhouses premises and appurtenances thereunto belonging and therewith used (which I hold and rent under and by virtue of a Lease thereof to me granted) and all my estate term and interest therein To hold the same with the rights members and appurtenances thereunto belonging unto my said son William Webb his executors administrators and assigns for all the residue and remainder of the term of years thereof granted and unexpired (subject nevertheless to the covenants and agreements therein expressed and I do hereby declare that the said sum of one hundred pounds five pound per cent Bank Annuities and the said Mill and premises hereinbefore respectively bequeathed to my said son William Webb as aforesaid shall be taken and considered by him to be in full payment satisfaction and discharge of the debt which he my said son William Webb hath paid for and on account of my said son in law William Pack."

George was baptised at the church of St John the Baptist, Harrietsham on 17th November 1790. George probably inherited his father's estate so it seems likely that his elder brothers died in childhood. George married Mary Murton in about 1817; she was born at Sittingbourne in 1795 and her elder brother was the owner of Tunstall House, Tunstall.

George and Mary had at least twelve children – Mary (1818), George (1820), Henry (1822), Edward (1824), Eliza (1826), Charlotte (1828), Emily (1830), Agnes (1832), William (1834), Katherine (1836), Louisa (1839) and Charles (1841). It is likely that there were others who died in infancy.

As happened to many families in their social bracket, very few of their daughters ever married. This probably stemmed from the fact that although the family were relatively wealthy, they were not rich enough to provide sizable dowries to obtain suitable husbands for their daughters or they were unwilling to part with property to pay for the dowries.
