Is Daniel Webster and the person who created "Websters Dictionary" related?????

Answer 1

It was Noah Webster. Noah is older than Daniel, don't know what the relationship is as of yet
================================
Noah Webster was born on October 16, 1758, in the West Division of Hartford, Connecticut to an established Yankee family. His father was a farmer and a weaver. His father was a descendant of Connecticut Governor John Webster; his mother was a descendant of Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Colony. Noah had two brothers (Abraham and Charles) and two sisters (Mercy and Jerusha). His childhood home is now a Registered Historic Landmark.
======
Daniel Webster was born January 18, 1782 to Ebenezer and Abigail Webster (née Eastman) in Salisbury, New Hampshire. There he and his other nine siblings were raised on his parents' farm, a small parcel of land granted to his father in recognition of his service in the French and Indian War. As Daniel was a “sickly” child, his family indulged him, exempting him from the harsh rigors of 18th century New England farm life.[2]

Though uneducated, Ebenezer Webster was made a judge on the local court in 1791, a position which carried a salary of four hundred dollars; the Elder Webster resolved to use this money to educate young Daniel.[3] After attending local schools for most of his life, Daniel Webster was subsequently enrolled at the Phillips Exeter Academy at age 14. There the other boys laughed at his rustic clothing and mannerisms.[4] After nine months at Phillips, the Websters were unable to meet the academy's costs and were forced to recall Daniel home.[5] He studied under a private tutor until the summer of 1797, when he enrolled at Dartmouth College.

"Webster" is a name that signifies or is derived from: "a weaver".


Date "Webster" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1791. (references)

Note: Webster \Web"ster\, noun. [from Anglo-Saxon expression webbestre. See Web, Weave, and -ster.]. (Websters 1913)



Noah Webster, the author of extremely popular readers and spelling books for schools, published his first dictionary, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language, in 1806. In it, he introduced features that would be a hallmark of future editions such as American spellings (center rather than centre, honor rather than honour, program rather than programme, etc.) and including technical terms from the arts and sciences rather than confining his dictionary to literary words. He spent the next two decades working to expand his dictionary.

In 1828, at the age of 70, Webster published his American Dictionary of the English Language in two quarto volumes containing 70,000 entries. Webster's assistant, and later chief competitor, Joseph Emerson Worcester, published an abridgment in 1829. Webster edited a Revised Edition 1840–1841, with the help of his son, William G. Webster, the primary change being the addition of several thousand new words.

Upon Webster's death in 1843, the unsold books and all rights to the copyright and name "Webster" were purchased by brothers George and Charles Merriam, who then hired Webster's son-in-law Chauncey A. Goodrich, a professor at Yale College, to oversee revisions. Goodrich's New and Revised Edition appeared on September 24, 1847, and a Revised and Extended Edition in 1859, which added a section of illustrations indexed to the text. His revisions remained close to Webster's work, although removing what later editors referred to as his "excrescences."

In response to Joseph Worcester's groundbreaking dictionary of 1860, the G. & C. Merriam Company created a significantly revised edition, retaining the title American Dictionary of the English Language. It was edited by Yale University editor Noah Porter and published in 1864, containing 114,000 entries. It was sometimes referred to as the Webster-Mahn edition, because it featured revisions by Dr. C. A. F. Mahn, who replaced unsupportable etymologies which had been based on Webster's attempt to conform to Biblical interpretations of the history of language. It was the first edition to largely overhaul Noah Webster's work, and the first to be known as the Unabridged. Later printings added appendices: a Pronouncing Biographical Dictionary in 1879 and a Pronouncing Gazeteer in 1884.
