12 June 1989
Anita,
It was a pleasure meeting you at the reunion. I hope you had a safe trip home. We arrived back in North Carolina about 3 AM this morning. We had planned on stopping around Atlanta, but felt good and kept on going.
Here is the "TREE".
The genealogy runs like this:
Henry Newby married Mary ?. see page 6 (Will of dated 1741)
James Newby married Jane ?. see page 8 (Will of dated 1791)
James Newby married Edith ?. see page 12 (Will of Joseph Newby dated 1808)
I have been unable to verify a connection between Thomas Newby and the above James Newby; but I feel certain that a James Newby was the father of Thomas Newby.
Thomas Newby married Anne Atkins. see page 12 (Will of Phobe Atkins dated 1814)
James Newby married Sally Haines. see page 18 (1825)
Henry W. Newby married Amelia Crutcher. see page 23 (1860)
I suppose that everyone at the reunion yesterday
were decendants of Henry W. and Amelia Crutcher Newby; who were the parents of (see page 26). My grandfather was Thomas Alfred Newby.
My father was Roy Martin Newby.
I hope you enjoy the "TREE". It is fun to work on, especially when
you are able to find something new ever once in awhile. The library in Atlanta should have a wealth of information. The Historical section of the library in Huntsville in extermally good.

BELOW IS A LIST OF VARIOUS VIRGINIA COUNTY RECORD BOOKS THAT MAY HAVE SOME INTEREST TO THE NEWBY FAMILY.
VIRGINIA COUNTY RECORDS, VOLUME VII, PAGE 193:
LIST OF IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME INTO VIRGINIA. DOESN'T SAY WHERE. DATED 6 JUNE 1635. THEY CAME TO AMERICA ON A SHIP NAMED THE THOMAS AND JOHN. THE SHIP SAILED FROM LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND. AMONG THE PASSENGERS WAS A HENRY NEWBY, AGE 24. THE RECORDS SHOW THAT HE PAID HIS OWN PASSAGE. THERE ARE OTHER RECORDS THAT SHOW THAT SOME NEWBY'S WHO ARRIVED IN AMERICA IN THE 1650'S WERE BOND SERVANTS. BUT THE NAME HENRY WAS USED OFTEN IN OUR FAMILY. AS WAS THE NAMES THOMAS AND
JOHN. ....INTERESTING .... RECORDS SHOW THAT FAMILIES NAMED NEWBY RESIDED IN SURREY COUNTY, VIRGINIA IN THE EARLY 1700’S. IN CHESTERFIELD AND LANCASTER COUNTIES, VIRGINIA IN THE MID-1700'S, AND IN CULPEPPER, FAUQUIER AND ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTIES, VIRGINIA IN THE 1780'S.
VIRGINIA COUNTY RECORDS, VOLUME X, PAGE 51:
LISTS THE INDEX OF LAND GRANTS, HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA IS LOCATED 7N HENRICO COUNTY.
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 2 FAMILY
BOOK 11, PAGE 396:
SHOWS A JOHN NEWBY, 100 ACRES, DATED 17P5. OUR NEWBY FAMILY LIVED IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA. IN 1725, CHESTERFIELD COUNTY WAS STILL A PART OF HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA" CHESTERFIELD COUNTY DID NOT SEPARATE FROM HENRICO COUNTY UNTIL AROUND 1733.
VIRGINIA COLONIAL ABSTRACTS, VOLUME 21, PAGE 84:
LISTS A JOHN NEUBY (SPELLED AS SHOWN) ON SWIFT CREEK. SWIFT CREEK RUNS THROUGH CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
IF YOU ARE DRIVING NORTH TOWARD RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I-85 YOU WILL CROSS OVER SWIFT CREEK ON ONE OF THE HIGHWAY BRIDGES. THE NAME OF THE CREEK IS SHOWN ON A MARKER, AS ARE MOST RIVERS AND STREAMS THAT YOU PASS OVER; DRIVING OUR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM.
IN THE SWIFT CREEK AREA OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA THERE IS A NEWBY ROAD, A NEWBY BRIDGE ON SWIFT CREEK, AND A NEWBY CROSSROAD" A SCRIMMAGE WAS FOUGHT AT NEWBY'S CROSSROAD DURING THE CIVIL WAR. I HAVE DRIVEN DOWN NEWBY ROAD BUT DID NOT IDENTIFY THE OTHER PLACES. BUT NEITHER DID I STOP AND ASK ANYONE AS IT WAS RAINING, ON THE DAY I WAS THERE. THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY WAS NOT OPENED ON THE DAY T WAS THERE.
THE FIRST CENSUS IN THE UNITED STATES WAS TAKEN DURING THE 1780'S AND PUBLISHED IN 1790. THE CENSUS LISTED 47 NEWBY FAMILIES. 2 FAMILIES
IN PENNSYLVANIA, 19 FAMILIES IN VIRGINIA AND 26 FAMILIES IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE CENSUS OF THE NEWBY FAMILIES IN VIRGINIA SHOW DATES OF 1782, 1783 AND 1785. THE CENSUS DID NOT LIST ALL THE FAMILY MEMBERS BY NAME, IT ONLY NAMED THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY. ALL THE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WERE LISTED BY AGE GROUP AND SEX. THE CENSUS SHOWED THERE TO BE 202 NEWBY'S IN THE 47 FAMILIES LISTED. THE CENSUS DID NOT BEGIN LISTING FAMILY MEMBERS BY NAME UNTIL 1850.
ACCORDING TO THE 1790 CENSUS, ALL BUT ONE NEWBY FAMILY LIVING IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA RESIDED IN THE COUNTIES OF CHESTERFIELD AND LANCASTER. A THOMAS NEWBY WAS LISTED AS RESIDING IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY. THIS CENSUS WAS DATED 1782. THE CENSUS SHOWED THIS THOMAS NEWBY TO BE THE HEAD OF A HOUSEHOLD OF FIVE (5) PEOPLE AND FIVE (5) SLAVES. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THIS THOMAS NEWBY COULD BE OUR THOMAS NEWBY. BUT COULD NOT NOT VERIFY. 1782 WOULD HAVE MADE OUR THOMAS NEWBY ABOUT 24 YEARS OF AGE. HE WAS BORN ABOUT 1758 THE BEST I COULD ASCERTAIN FROM MILITARY RECORDS. HE HAD BEEN IN THE ARMY FOR THREE YEARS, 1777-1780. HE HAD ENLISTED IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA. SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HE COULD HAVE MARRIED IN SOME COUNTY OTHER THAN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA. ALTHO I COULD NOT FIND A
MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE IN ANY COUNTY OF VIRGINIA. IT IS ALMOST A CERTAINTY THAT HIS WIFE'S FAMILY WAS FROM CHESTERFIELD COUNTY,
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 3 FAMILY
VIRGINIA. (MORE ABOUT THAT LATER) THOMAS NEWBY DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA TAX RECORDS UNTIL 1788. ONE SON JAMES (OUR LINE) WAS BORN IN 1788 AND ANOTHER SON MATTHEW, WHO CAME TO LIMESTONE COUNTY, ALABAMA; WAS BORN IN 1793.
THE 1790 UNITED STATES CENSUS LISTED THE FOLLOWING NEWBY'S AS HEAD OF FAMILIES IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA.

I HAVE SOME DOUBTS ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF THIS FIRST CENSUS. ESPECIALLY IN LANCASTER COUNTY. I FEEL THAT SOME OF THE NEWBY'S MIGHT HAVE BEEN COUNTED TWICE. THE CENSUS WAS TAKEN IN TWO DIFFERENT YEARS. 1783 AND 1785. IT LOOKS LIKE EACH NAME TAKEN IN LANCASTER COUNTY IN 1783 IS REPEATED IN 1785. THAT'S TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENT.
OF THE ABOVE NAMES I KNOW THAT JOSEPH AND LEVY WERE BROTHERS OF, OUR, THOMAS NEWBY.(MORE ABOUT THAT LATER) THE JAMES NEWBY OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY IS, I FEEL, THEIR FATHER BUT I CANNOT VERIFY. I ALSO FEEL THAT THE JAMES NEWBY OF LANCASTER COUNTY IS THE FATHER OF THE JAMES NEWBY 7N CHESTERFIELD COUNTY. AGAIN CANNOT VERIFY.
THE 1800 CENSUS WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY FIRE. I WONDER IF THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE BRITISH BURNED WASHINGTON, D.C. DURING THE WAR OF 1812.
THE 1810 CENSUS FOR THE STATE OF VIRGINIA LISTS THE FOLLOWING NEWBY'S AS HEAD OF FAMILIES.

AGAIN, NO THOMAS LISTED. BUT NATHANIEL IS. IT IS KNOWN THAT NATHANIEL WAS A FAMILY MEMBER. EITHER A SON OR A BROTHER. HE WAS NOT LISTED IN THE WILL OF JOSEPH NEWBY, WHO LISTED HIS BROTHERS AS THOMAS AND LEVI AND HIS SISTERS AS ELIZABETH AND MARTHA" THOMAS WAS NOT MENTIONED IN A LAWSUIT OVER THE PROPERTY OF JAMES NEWBY (WHO I THINK WAS THEIR FATHER) BUT NATHANIEL WAS., AS WAS ALL THE OTHER LIVING BROTHER AND SISTERS. MORE ON THAT LATER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 1840 CENSUS FOR VIRGINIA. I PROBABLY FORGOT TO TAKE IT DOWN. MOST LIBRARIES HAVE THE CENSUS, EITHER ON MICROFILM OR IN BOOKS.
THE 1850 CENSUS FOR THE STATE OF VIRGINIA LISTS THE FOLLOWING NEWBY'S AS HEAD OF FAMILIES.

THOMAS AND LEVI BOTH DIED DURING THE 1840'S. SO THE THOMAS NEWBY LISTED HERE MAY NOT BE OUR THOMAS. THOMAS NEWBY WAS LISTED AS A SR. WHEN HE DIED, IN 1845. BUT THERE WAS NO THOMAS JR. MENTIONED IN HIS WILL. ONLY JAMES AND MATTHEW OF ALABAMA AND ABRAHAM OF VIRGINIA. I DON'T SEE ABRAHAM ON THE CENSUS EITHER" COULD HE HAVE BEEN A THOMAS OR MARTIN?
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS TAKEN FROM THE VARIOUS OFFICIAL RECORD BOOKS OF LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
WILL BOOK 13, PAGE 265:
HENRY NEWBY
DIED: 14 OCTOBER 1741. RECORDED 12 MARCH 1741. (THIS APPEARS TO BE A REVERSAL OF DATES).
WIFE: MARY
SONS: HENRY, OZWALD, WHALEY, JAMES AND WILLIAM (YOUNGEST NOT YET 15 YEARS OLD).
DAUGHTERS: SARAH AND HANNAH EXECUTORS: WIFE AND SON HENRY. WITNESSES: JOHN ALEXANDER AND ROBERT MITCHELL, JR.
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 6 FAMILY
ALTHO THERE IS NOTHING TO SUBSTANTIATE MY BELIEF THAT THE JAMES NEWBY MENTIONED HERE WAS THE FATHER OF THE JAMES NEWBY WHO LIVED IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA AND WHO I FEEL WAS THE FATHER OF OUR THOMAS NEWBY; THERE SEEMS TO ME TO BE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SAY THAT HE WAS. BUT WITHOUT SUBSTANTIATION THERE IS THAT DOUBT. SEE FIRST
CENSUS IN 1790. THERE WERE NEWBY'S IN ONLY THREE COUNTIES IN VIRGINIA. READ ON..
WILL BOOK 16, PAGE 181:
MARY NEWBY
DIED: 10 APRIL 1761" RECORDED 15 JANUARY 1762.
SONS: JAMES, WHALEY, WILLIAM AND OZWALD NEWBY.
DAUGHTERS: HANNAH BAILEY, SARAH BRUMLEY.
EXECUTORS: SONS JAMES AND OZWALD NEWBY.
WITNESSES: JOHN BAILEY, JAMES ROBINSON.
MEMO IN THE ABOVE WILL READS AS FOLLOWS: MARY NEWBY REPORTS A CASE AND 9 BOTTLES WHICH SHE KEPT OUT OF HER HUSBANDS INVENTORY FOR THE REASON THAT HER HUSBAND'S BROTHER GAVE THE USE OF IT TO HIM DURING LIFE AND AFTER HIS DEATH, TO GO TO HIS SON WILLIAM. 10 APRIL 1761.
I WONDER WHAT HIS BROTHER'S NAME WAS? WILLIAM NEWBY OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA, FATHER'S NAME WAS JOHN. COULD THIS BE THE BROTHER?
WILL BOOK 17, PAGE 32.
HENRY NEWBY
DIED: WITHOUT MAKING A WILL. RECORDED 21 MAY 1764. MARY NEWBY WIDOW APPLIES FOR CERTIFICATE OF ADMINISTRATION.
THIS MUST BE THE SON OF HENRY NEWBY. SEE WILL BOOK 13.
WILL BOOK 22, PAGE 284:
OZWALD NEWBY
DIED: 1784 - RECORDED 17 JANUARY 1791. WIFE: SARAHANN
SONS: PRITCHETT, EDWARD, OZWALD AND WILLIAM NEWBY.
DAUGHTERS: MARY, PEGGY, SILLER (NOT 12 YEARS OLD), ESTHER FICKLEN, MARGARET DAVIS, THE GRANDMOTHER OF THE DAUGHTER SARAHANN NEWBY"
EXECUTORS: OZWALD NEWBY
WITNESSES: JAMES NEWBY AND JAMES NEWBY, JR. CODICIL DATED 9 APRIL 1786. 16 JULY 1792
DIVISION: BY LARKIN PEMBERTON AND EDWARD NEWBY.
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 7 FAMILY
HEIRS: WIDOW, WILLIAM, EZA, PEGGY, EASTHER FECKLEN, SARAH A. NORRIS, PRICILLA, MARY PEMBERTON` PRICHARD AND EDWARD.
THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE MORE SON, ROBERT NEWBY WHO DIED 12 FEBRUARY 1772. ALSO NOTE DIFFERENCES IN THE SPELLING OF NAMES. I DON'T KNOW WHICH SPELLING IS CORRECT.
OZWALD WAS A SON OF HENRY NEWBY, SEE WILL BOOK 13, AND A BROTHER OF JAMES NEWBY. JAMES NEWBY, JR. MUST BE THE SON OF THIS JAMES NEWSY. ONLY ONE JAMES NEWBY APPEARS IN THE TAX RECORD BOOKS OF LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA. IF THIS JAMES NEWBY, JR. IS THE FATHER OF OUR THOMAS NEWBY, HE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN LIVING IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA IN 1786. AS THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR RECORDS SHOW THAT OUR THOMAS NEWBY ENLISTED IN THE ARMY'S STATE ARTILLERY IN 1777 AT CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA" MAYBE JAMES NEWBY, JR. WAS VISITING HIS PARENTS IN LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA IN 1786. ACCORDING TO THE CENSUS TAKEN IN LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA IN 1783 AND AGAIN IN 1785, THERE WAS A JAMES NEWBY LISTED IN EACH OF THESE YEARS" THERE WAS ONLY ONE JAMES NEWBY ON THE TAX RECORD BOOKS. THERE WAS ALSO A JAMES NEWBY LISTED IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA CENSUS OF 1782. NOW WERE THERE THREE JAMES NEWBY’S ARE WAS ONE OF THEM COUNTED MORE THAN ONCE? THAT’S MY GUESS..
WILL BOOK 22, PAGE 308:
JAMES NEWBY
DIED: 26 APRIL 1791. RECORDED 18 JULY 1791. WIFE: JANE NEWBY
SONS: JOHN, CYRUS, JAMES AND DENNIS NEWBY. (IF DENNIS DOES NOT RETURN HOME WITHIN 7 YEARS AFTER MY DEATH) (CYRUS FORBIDDEN TO MARRY ANY DAUGHTER OF ABNER PALMER)
DAUGHTERS: ANN AND JUNNY NEWBY"
EXECUTORS: COL. JAMES BALL, CAPTAIN JOHN CHOWNING.
WITNESSES: JAMES BALL, AND.(ANDREW?) ROBERTSON, WILLIAM BRYAN.
VERY UNUSUAL REQUESTS MADE IN HIS WILL. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INTERPRET THE REQUEST MADE ABOUT DENNIS. DID HE WANT HIM TO STAY AWAY 7 YEARS OR RETURN HOME WITHIN 7 YEARS?
THIS WILL ALSO MENTIONED A SLAVE NAMED BIDDECUM WHO WAS WILLED TO HIS SON JAMES. THE WILL DOES NOT SAY WHERE JAMES'S WAS LIVING AT THE TIME.
THERE WAS NO JAMES NEWBY IN ANY RECORD BOOK OF LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA AFTER 1791° JANE NEWBY, WIFE OF THE ABOVE JAMES NEWBY, IS LISTED ON THE LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA PERSONAL PROPERTY AND LAND TAX BOOKS UP THROUGH 1804. AFTER THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE ABOUT A JANE NEWBY IN LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 8 FAMILY
WILL BOOK 22, PAGE 448:
JOHN NEWBY - APPRAISAL. 16 DECEMBER 1793. RECORDED 21 APRIL 1795. BY GEORGE CAMPBELL, RAWL. DAVENPORT, ABNER PALMER, CHARLES DOTSON.
THIS JOHN NEWBY WAS PROBABLY THE SON OF JAMES NEWBY OF LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA. SEE WILL OF JAMES NEWBY OF LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA. THERE WAS ONLY ONE JOHN NEWBY LISTED ON THE 1790 CENSUS IN LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA. IF THIS ISTRUE THEN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BROTHER TO JAMES NEWBY, JR. HE MUST HAVE DIED IN 1793. NOTHING ELSE GIVEN IN THE WILL BOOK. SO HE PROBABLY DIED WITHOUT LEAVING A WILL.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS TAKEN FROM THE VARIOUS OFFICIAL RECORD BOOKS OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
WILL BOOK 7, PAGES 501-503, 1808-1813:
THIS IS AN INVENTORY OF A JANE NEWBY RECORDED 10 FEBRUARY 1812. JANE NEWBY'S NAME HAD NOT APPEARED IN ANY OFFICIAL RECORD BOOK IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA UP TO THIS TIME. THE INVENTORY DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY FAMILY INFORMATION.
WILL BOOK 10, PAGE 421, 1823-1B26:
THIS IS AN ACCOUNT OF A JANE NEWBY RECORDED 11 OCTOBER 1824. THE ACCOUNT DATES BACK TO 1812. THIS MUST 8E THE JANE NEWBY MENTIONED IN WILL BOOK 7 ABOVE. THE ACCOUNT WAS MADE BY MARTIN NEWBY, HER ADMINISTRATOR AND DOES NOT CITE ANY HEIRS. MARTIN NEWBY'S NAME APPEARS IN THE WILL OF ELISHA NEWBY. SEE WILL BOOK 11 BELOW.
THIS INFORMATION INDICATES THAT JANE NEWBY PROBABLY LEFT LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA AFTER 18O4 AND SHOWED UP IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA AT LEAST BY 1812. THIS WILL SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO MORE CLOSELY. THE WILL IS SHOWN IN THE CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA INDEX OF WILLS AS AN ENTRY FOR JAMES NEWBY. (WAS THIS AN INADVERTENT ERROR IN SPELLING JAMES INSTEAD OF JANE?)
WILL BOOK 11, PAGES 28-29, 1826-1830:
ELISHA NEWBY
DIED; NO DATE. RECORDED 12 JUNE 1826. WIFE: NONE MENTIONED
SONS: WILLIAM AND SAMUEL NEWBY
DAUGHTER: ANNA
WILL REFERENCES ANN P. NEWBY, WIDOW OF MARTIN NEWBY, AND MARTIN NEWBY'S CHILDREN, BUT NOT BY NAME. THIS INDICATES THAT MARTIN WAS PROBABLY A SON. WHY ELSE MENTION HIM IN THE WILL?
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 9 FAMILY

DIED: NO DATE, WILL DATED 9 AUGUST 1794.
WIFE: AMEY
SONS: WILLIAM, JOHN, ELIJAH, ELISHA NEWBY
DAUGHTERS: SARAH NEWBY, JANE NEWBY, DINAH CLARK, AND AMEY HUDSON.
WILL MAKES REFERENCES TO GRANDSONS SAMUEL NEWBY, WILLIAM NEWBY AND ARTHUR (HORNER?). HE ALSO REFERS TO JOHN NEWBY, HIS FATHER. GRANDSON'S SAMUEL AND WILLIAM NEWBY WERE SONS OF ELISHA NEWBY.
THE FIRST NEWBY, ON RECORD, TO SETTLE IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA WAS A WILLIAM NEWBY. SEE WILL ABOVE. WILLIAM NEWBY'S
FATHER WAS NAMED JOHN NEWBY; PROBABLY OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIS WILL, SEE IF THERE WERE OTHER SONS.
DEED BOOK 1, PAGES 127-129, 1749-1753:
WILLIAM BAUGH TO WILLIAM NEWBY, BOTH OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA; 62 ACRES. DATED 6 JULY 1750 AND RECORDED 3 AUGUST 1750.
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA DID NOT BECOME A COUNTY UNTIL AROUND 1733 WHEN IT SEPARATED FROM HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA.

REV.A 12/87 PAGE 10 FAMILY
-
JAMES NEWBY TO JAMES FERGUSON, BOTH OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA; 15 ACRES. DATED 3 JANUARY 1777 AND RECORDED AT FEBRUARY COURT 1777.
THIS IS THE FIRST INDICATION THAT A JAMES NEWBY WAS IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA. ALSO IT IS A FACT THAT MARTHA NEWBY, ONE OF THOMAS NEWBY'S SISTER, MARRIED A THOMAS FERGUSON ON 17 JANUARY 1785. ALSO A BROTHER, LEVI, MARRIED A SARAH FERGUSON. WITH THIS INFORMATION, THAT HE SOLD LAND IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA, WHEN DID HE OBTAIN THE LAND? THERE IS NO DEED LISTED IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA. DID HE OBTAIN THE LAND WHEN IT WAS STILL A PART OF HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA? MAYBE A CLOSER SEARCH OF HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA DEEDS SHOULD BE MADE.
DEED BOOK 10, PAGES 165-167, 1791-1785:
JAMES NEWBY TO JOSEPH NEWBY, BOTH OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA; 40 ACRES FOR 50 POUNDS. DATED 23 OCTOBER 1782 AND RECORDED AT MAY COURT 1783. NOTICE THE USE OF POUNDS AS THE CURRENCY EXCHANGE.
JOSEPH NEWBY AND THOMAS NEWBY WERE BROTHERS. AND I BELIEVE THIS JAMES NEWBY TO BE THEIR FATHER. THERE WAS A LOT OF DEALINGS BETWEEN JAMES AND ALL OF THOMAS NEWBY'S BROTHERS AND SISTERS. SOME GOOD; SOME NOT SO GOOD. BUT NOTHING WAS EVER SAID FROM FATHER TO SON OR FROM FATHER TO DAUGHTER. READ ON..
DEED BOOK 11, PAGES 465-467, 1779-1791:
JAMES NEWBY TO THOMAS NEWBY, BOTH OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA; 60 ACRES FOR 60 POUNDS. DATED 14 AUGUST 1788. RECORDED AT SEPTEMBER COURT.
THOMAS NEWBY CAN BE TRACED DIRECTLY TO THE NEWBY'S THAT SETTLED IN NORTH ALABAMA IN THE EARLY 1800'S. THE ABOVE DEEDS BETWEEN JAMES NEWBY AND JOSEPH NEWBY AND THOMAS NEWBY ARE A STRONG INDICATION THAT THIS JAMES NEWBY WAS THEIR FATHER, READ ON...
ORDER BOOK 12, PAGE 590, 1796-1799:
NOTES THAT ON 8 OCTOBER 1798 THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE ESTATE OF JAMES NEWBY WAS GRANTED TO LEVI NEWBY.
LEVI NEWBY AND THOMAS NEWBY WERE BROTHERS. THIS WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN THE WILL OF JOSEPH NEWBY. THIS INFORMATION STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT JAMES NEWBY WAS INDEED THEIR FATHER.

WILL OF JOSEPH NEWBY, DATED 29 NOVEMBER 1808 AND RECORDED 9 APRIL 1810. REFERENCE TO EDITH HIS MOTHER, BROTHERS THOMAS AND LEVI AND SISTERS ELIZABETH NEWBY AND MARTHA FERGUSON.
WE NOW KNOW THAT EDITH WAS THE NAME OF THOMAS NEWBY'S MOTHER. NO MARRIAGE LICENSE COULD BE FOUND, IN ANY OF THE COUNTIES SEARCHED, BETWEEN AN EDITH (?) TO A NEWBY. BUT THIS IS WELCOME NEWS JUST THE SAME; JUST TO KNOW HER NAME.
THIS WILL ALSO ESTABLISHES THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THOMAS NEWBY. THERE COULD BE OTHERS, AS WILL COME OUT LATER, BUT THESE ARE THE ONLY ONES MENTIONED.
WILL BOOK 8, PAGE 598, 1813-1818:
BOND OF THOMAS NEWBY AND THOMAS CHEATHAM FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE WILL OF JOSEPH NEWBY BY THOMAS NEWBY AND LEVI NEWBY. DATED OCTOBER 1816.
WILL BOOK 9, PAGES 378-379, 1818-1823:
WILL OF PHEBE ATKINS. DATED 4 MARCH 1814 AND RECORDED 9 OCTOBER 1815, THERE ARE REFERENCES TO DAUGHTERS ANNE NEWBY, WIFE OF THOMAS NEWBY, PATSEY NEWBY, WIFE OF WILLIAM NEWSY, AND BURWELL ATKINS, A SON. IMPORTANTLY, THE WILL REFERS ALSO TO HER GRANDSON MATTHEW NEWBY WHO WAS THE SON OF SAID ANNE AND THOMAS NEWBY. THE WORDING IMPLIED THAT THE COUPLE HAD OTHER CHILDREN BUT THEY ARE NOT NAMED" THERE ARE ALSO REFERENCES TO PHEBE (FARMER?) NEWBY AND LEVI NEWBY CHILDREN OF PATSEY AND WILLIAM NEWBY. NO HUSBAND IS CITED AND IT APPEARS HE WAS DECEASED.
NOW WE KNOW THAT THOMAS NEWBY MARRIED ANNE ATKINS. WE ALSO KNOW THAT PHEBE ATKINS WAS THE MOTHER OF ANNE ATKINS NEWBY. THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS BUT THE MARRIAGE LICENSES FOR THOMAS NEWBY AND ANNE ATKINS OR PHEBE ATKINS AND HER HUSBAND COULD NOT BE FOUND.
THE FIRST CENSUS IN THE UNITED STATES, PUBLISHED IN 1790, LISTS A PHEBE ATKINS, IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA AS HEAD OF A HOUSEHOLD OF FOUR WITH ONE SLAVE. THIS CENSUS WAS DATED 1782.
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 12 FAMILY
WILL BOOK 13, PAGE 344, 1834-1837:
NOTES THAT THOMAS NEWBY AND WILLIAM NEWBY SAVE BOND DATED 11 JANUARY 1626 REVELANT TO THOMAS NEWBY SERVING AS ADMINISTRATOR 8F THE ESTATE OF NANCY NEWBY, DECEASED. (NANCY AND ANNE ARE SYNONMOUS). THUS
ANNE, THE WIFE OF THOMAS NEWBY MUST HAVE DIED IN THE EARLY PART OF JANUARY 1836 OR THE END OF 1835. SUBSEQUENT RECORDS DID NOT SHOW ANY DOCUMENT FILED BY THOMAS NEWBY IN HIS CAPACITY AS ADMINISTRATOR.
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX BEGAN ABOUT 1782. (SOME OF THE RECORDS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED). THOMAS NEWBY IS LISTED AS OF 1788. THOMAS NEWBY'S SON'S; JAMES AND MATTHEW NEWBY ARE LISTED LATER, JAMES FIRST AND MATTHEW IN l82l,
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA LAND TAXES BEGAN ABOUT 1791 AND LISTS THE FOLLOWING NEWBY'S, JAMES, THOMAS, JOHN, LEVI, JOSEPH AND JEREMIAH. THOMAS IS CITED INITIALLY WITH 60 ACRES AND CONTINUED WITH 60 ACRES UNTIL 1816. WHEN HE ADDED MORE LAND TO HIS HOLDING. REFER
TO WILL OF PHEBE ATKINS. SHE WILLED THOMAS AND ANNE NEWBY 100 ACRES OF LAND IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
DEED BOOK 29, PAGES 17-18, 1832-1835:
DEED FROM LAWSON BURFOOT, WILLIAM FENDLEY AND ALLEN WHITHORTH COMMISSIONERS, TO ELIZABETH MANN; 74 ACRES. DATED 21 AUGUST 1817
AND ENTERED TO BE RECORDED 8 SEPTEMBER 1817 AND RECORDED 18 OCTOBER 1832. (DON'T NO WHY THE LONG DELAY UNLESS THE DECISION OF THE COURT WAS CONTESTED IN SOME WAY) THE DEED WAS THE RESULT OF A LAWSUIT, WHEN A DECREE WAS ENTERED IN A LAWSUIT OF ABNER MANN, MARTHA FERGUSON
(LATE MARTHA NEWBY), NATHANIEL NEWBY, ELIZABETH NEWBY, JINCEY JACKSON (LATE JJNCEY MANN) AND PHEBE MANN AN INFANT OF TENDER YEARS BY THE SAID ABNER MANN. HER NEXT FRIEND AND SPECIAL GUARDIAN. THE LAWSUIT
WAS AGAINST LEVI NEWBY, JAMES NEWBY, LUCY NEWBY, ABNER MANN (?), AND MARY HIS WIFE AND MOSES MITCHELL AND RHODA, HIS WIFE. THE DECREE ENTERED 14 JULY 1817 ORDERED THE COMMISSIONERS TO SELL CERTAIN LAND TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. THE LAND CONSISTED OF 74 ACRES AND WAS THE
LAND ON WHICH JAMES NEWBY, SR. “DIED POSSESSED". PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE WERE TO BE DIVIDED SEVEN WAYS AND GIVEN TO ABNER MANN, JINCEY JACKSON. MARY E. MANN, MARTHA FERGUSON, PHEBE MANN, NATHANIEL NEWBY AND ELIZABETH MANN, WIDOW OF AARON MANN, DECEASED. (THIS LAST NAME
IS IN ERROR, AS ELIZABETH NEWSY WAS MARRIED TO CAIN MANN), THIS IS CORRECTED BY AN ENTRY IN ORDER BOOK 21, PAGE 230, 1B16-1818.
JAMES NEWBY, SR. DIED IN 1791 IN LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGNIA. A LAWSUIT WOULD HAVE BEEN FILED IN LANCASTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA IF THIS WAS ABOUT HIS ESTATE. THIS MUST BE THE JAMES NEWBY, JR. THAT I BELIEVE TO BE HIS SON AND THE FATHER OF OUR THOMAS NEWBY. HE DIED IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA IN 1798. SEE ORDER BOOK 12, (OUR
JAMES NEWBY OF ALABAMA SERVED UNDER THE COMMISSIONER, LAWSON BURFOOT DURING THE WAR OF 1812).
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 13 FAMILY
TAX RECORDS SHOW THAT NATHANIEL NEWBY WAS A SON OF THE SAID JAMES NEWBY, JR.. WHY DIDN'T NATHANIEL NEWBY'S NAME APPEAR IN THE WILL OF JOSEPH NEWBY, WHO DIED IN 1810? AND WHO LISTED HIS BROTHERS AS LEVI AND THOMAS NEWBY. THIS IS STRANGE INFORMATION, (THE ABOVE LAWSUIT) SOME OF THE PEOPLE ARE KNOWN BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND SOME ARE NOT. IT IS ALSO STRANGE THAT THOMAS NEWBY IS NOT MENTIONED. THERE WAS A JAMES NEWBY MENTIONED IN THE LAWSUIT. COULD IT BE THAT THOMAS NEWBY WAS ALSO KNOWN BY ANOTHER GIVEN NAME? LIKE JAMES THOMAS OR NATHANIEL THOMAS. VERY CONFUSING...
DEED BOOK 22, PAGES 624-625, 1817-1819:
ABRAHAM NEWBY TO LEVI NEWBY, BOTH OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA: 130 ACRES FOR $900.00 . DATED 22 MAY 1819 RECORDED 14 JUNE 1819.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ABRAHAM HAS BEEN MENTIONED, BUT IN THE WILL OF THOMAS NEWBY, ABRAHAM NEWBY IS LISTED AS A SON.

ABRAHAM NEWBY AND MATTHEW NEWBY WERE BROTHERS.

THOMAS NEWBY, TO SON, MATTHEW NEWBY. BOTH OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA; 63 ACRES FOR $100.00. DATED 1 MARCH 1832 AND RECORDED 5 APRIL 1832.
THIS AFFIRMS THAT THOMAS NEWBY WAS INDEED THE FATHER OF MATTHEW NEWBY. IT ALSO ESTABLISHES THAT MATTHEW NEWBY WAS STILL IN VIRGINIA IN 1832 AND HAD NOT YET MOVED TO ALABAMA.
DEED BOOK 28, PAGE 703-704, 1830-1832:
LEVI NEWBY AND WIFE SALLY OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA AND THOMAS FERGUSON, SON AND HEIR OF MARTHA FERGUSON, DECEASED. LATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. TO NEWMAN NEWBY ALL INTEREST IN 139 ACRES.

THIS DECLARATION WAS SUPPORTED BY AFFIDAVITS OF JACOB FLOURNOY AND MACKNESS BOWMAN. EXAMINATION OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR RECORD, THE
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 14 FAMILY
MAIN RECORD IS AN AFFIDAVIT BY A LT. NATHANIEL RICE 30 MAY 1783; THAT THOMAS NEWBY ENLISTED AS A SOLDIER IN THE STATE ARTILLERY, 18 AUGUST 1777, FOR THREE YEARS; WHICH TIME HE HAS SERVED. THE REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR, 1835 LISTS THOMAS NEWBY A RESIDENT OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA WHO WAS PLACED ON THE PENSION ROLL 21 NOVEMBER 1932, WITH THE PENSION TO COMMENCE AS OF 4 MARCH 1841. HIS AGE WAS GIVEN AS 74, THIS WOULD ESTABLISH HIS YEAR OF BIRTH AROUND 1758. THOMAS NEWBY WAS ALSO ENTITLED TO 100 ACRES OF BOUNTY LAND; BECAUSE OF HIS WAR SERVICE. SEE MILITARY WARRANTS 1-1320, PAGE 255, DATED 6 JUNE 1783. WARRANT NO. 757. HE DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE
TAKEN UP THE LAND, AT LEAST NOT IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA.

THIS ORDER BOOK ENTRY NOTES THOMAS NEWBY, SR. IF THAT WAS TRUE THEN THERE WAS A SON NAMED THOMAS. THERE WAS NO THOMAS MENTIONED IN THOMAS NEWBY'S WILL. I BELIEVE THE THOMAS REFERRED TO AS THOMAS NEWBY, JR. WAS THE SON OF ELIJAH NEWBY. THOMAS NEWBY WAS CALLED A SR. BECAUSE HE WAS OLDER THAN ELIJAH NEWBY'S SON THOMAS.

ALABAMA
IN THE HISTORICAL SECTION OF THE LIBRARY IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA IS A SERIES OF BOOKS NAMED; THE WAR OF REBELLION. THESE BOOKS HAVE THE OFFICIAL RECORDS, COMMUNIQUES, ETC. OF BOTH SIDES IN THE CIVIL WAR. HENRY W. NEWBY WAS IN THE 35TH REGIMENT OF ALABAMA INFANTRY, WITH THESE BOOKS IT IS POSSIBLE TO FIND OUT A LITTLE ABOUT WHERE HIS REGIMENT WAS. BELOW IS LISTED THE SERIES, VOLUME, AND PART OR PAGE NUMBERS THAT MENTIONS THE 35TH REGIMENT OF ALABAMA INFANTRY.
|SERIES |VOL. | |PART-PAGE |BRIEF DISCRIPTION OF CONTENTS: |
|1 |10 |1 | |SIEGE OF CORINTH, MISSISSIPPI. |
|1 |10 |2 | |ARMY OF MISSISSIPPI - UNDER GEN. BRAXTON BRAGG |
| | | | |ATTACHED TO 16TH REGIMENT (ALABAMA VOLUNTEERS) |
| | | | |ROBERTSON'S REGIMENT. |

|1 |24 |2 |82 |OPERATIONS AROUND JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI. |
I WAS FOLLOWING THE REGIMENT THROUGH RAIDS IN NORTH ALABAMA WHEN I WAS TRANSFERRED OUT OF HUNTSVILLE, I’VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND THIS SET OF BOOK ANY PLACE I'VE GONE. ONE BIT OF INFORMATION I DID PICK UP RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT HUNTSVILLE THOUGH THAT MIGHT SHED A LITTLE LIGHT ON WHY HENRY W. NEWBY MAY HAVE GONE TO ARKANSAS. (MORE ABOUT LATER) I WAS SCANNING THROUGH ONE OF THE BOOKS AND RAN ACROSS A DISPATCH THAT WAS DATED IN THE EARLY PART OF 1865. SOME COLONEL SAID HE COULD ROUND UP THE 35TH REGIMENT AND HAVE THEN BACK TOGETHER IN A SHORT TIME IF HE HAD HORSES TO MOUNT THEM ON. THIS SOUNDED TO ME AS IF THE REGIMENT HAD DISBANDED FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER AND GONE THEIR SEPERATE WAYS. I WAS WONDERING DID HENRY W. NEWBY GO TO ARKANSAS AT THIS TIME? WHAT THOUGHTS GOES THROUGH THE HEAD WHEN TRYING TO PIECE OUT THESE FAMILY TREES.
IN THE GENERAL INDEX OF THESE BOOKS, ON PAGE 696, THERE IS A LIST OF SOLDIERS AND A PLACE WITH THE NAME OF NEWBY. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS:

THIS INFORMATION DOES NOT SAY WHERE JAMES M. NEWBY WAS LIVING AT THE TIME. BUT JAMES M. NEWBY MUST HAVE HAVE BEEN THE SON, JAMES NEWBY, JR. IF THIS IS TRUE; THEN JAMES NEWBY'S MUST HAVE HAD THE MIDDLE INITAL M; ALSO. WONDER WHAT IT STANDS FOR? MARTIN MAYBE... I ASKED MY FATHER, ROY MARTIN NEWBY, WHERE THE MARTIN IN HIS NAME CAME FROM? HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW. WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS DEED.

ACKNOWLEDGED 19 SEPTEMBER 1887 IN DEWITT COUNTY, TEXAS BY J. H. NEWBY AND 17 OCTOBER 1887 IN LONAKE COUNTY, ARKANSAS BY THE OTHERS. ABOUT 80 ACRES.
THE PEOPLE IN TEXAS SEEM TO BE GRANDCHILDREN OF JAMES AND SALLIE NEWBY. EXCEPT MAYBE MARY. JAMES AND SALLIE HAD A DAUGHTER NAMED MARY. THESE WOULD NOT BE HER CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY HAD NEWBY AS A SURNAME. SEE VIRGINIA HISTORICAL INDEX VOLUME II L-P SECTION PAGE 310. PAGE 2 OF THIS FAMILY TREE; THE ENTRY FOR JOHN H. NEWBY. SEE LIST OF NEWBY'S IN CEMETERIES OF MADISON COUNTY FOR MATTIE OLA NEWBY. THIS IS AN UNUSUAL NAME. SHE MUST HAVE COME BACK TO ALABAMA BEFORE SHE DIED. THE PEOPLE IN ARKANSAS WERE HEIRS OF W. H. NEWBY. COULD THIS BE OUR HENRY W. NEWBY WITH INITIALS REVERSED? I TALKED WITH MY UNCLE JAMES HERBERT NEWBY BEFORE HE DIED AND ASKED HIM IF HE KNEW HIS GRANDFATHER NEWBY AND DID HE KNOW HIS NAME, AND WHERE HE CAME FROM ? UNCLE "HUB" SAID HE NEVER KNEW HIS GRANDFATHER. BUT HE THOUGHT HIS NAME WAS HENRY AND HE THOUGHT HE CAME TO ALABAMA FROM ARKANSAS. HE WAS CORRECT ABOUT THE NAME, HENRY. BUT WE KNOW THAT HENRY WAS BORN IN ALABAMA. HENRY PROBABLY WENT TO ARKANSAS AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER AND RETURNED TO ALABAMA. REFER TO THE HEIRS IN THE DEED ABOVE, AND TO THE LIST OF THE CHILDREN OF HENRY ANN AMELIA NEWBY THAT FOLLOWS.

INTERESTING HERE; NOTICE THE YEAR BETTIE, THE OLDEST CHILD, BORN 6 YEARS AFTER THEY MARRIED. VERY UNUSUAL. I WONDER IF THERE WERE OTHER CHILDREN BORN, MAYBE IN ARKANSAS. I HAVE NOTHING TO VERIFY THAT THE ABOVE CHILDREN WERE NOT BORN IN ARKANSAS. ANYBODY KNOW?

MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA CEMETERY RECORDS LISTS CARTER CEMETERY ON TVA MAP NW1/4 SECTION 3 T2R2W.
ACTUALLY THIS WAS JAMES NEWBY'S CEMETERY; LOCATED ON HIS LAND.THE CEMETERY IS STILL THERE LOCATED ABOUT 1/4 MILE BEHIND HIS HOME. WHICH IS ALSO STILL THERE. IT IS A LARGE TWO STORY FRAME HOUSE WITH A SMALL BALCONY ON THE UPSTAIRS FRONT. IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. LOCATED IN WHAT IS NOW TONEY, ALABAMA. AUNT MAMIE LEE NEWBY SMITH, BEFORE SHE DIED, POINTED OUT THE HOUSE TO ME, AND SAID SHE THOUGHT IT WAS WHERE SHE HAD LIVED WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL. AT THE TIME, ABOUT 1967, WE WERE JUST OUT FOR A SUNDAY DRIVE AND I HAD NOT THOUGHT ANYTHING ABOUT LOOKING INTO A FAMILY TREE. I NEVER THOUGHT TO ASK HER ANYTHING ABOUT THE FAMILY. OH' WHAT A WEALTH OF INFORMATION SHE WOULD HAVE HAD. AFTER I FOUND THE CEMETERY (ABOUT 1976) I KNEW AUNT MAMIE HAD BEEN RIGHT, ABOUT THE HOUSE. EVIDENTLY WHEN THE LAND WAS SOLD THE HOUSE WASN'T. NOT IF AUNT MAMIE REMEMBERS LIVING THERE.
THE CEMETERY IS LOCATED ABOUT 50 YARDS OFF THE TONEY ROAD GOING TOWARD MADISON CROSS ROADS, ALABAMA. THE CEMETERY IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE TWELVE GRAVES. TEN WITH HEAD MARKERS AND TWO WITH FIELD STONES. BUT IF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS CORRECT, THEN THERE ARE FOURTEEN GRAVES: TWELVE WITH HEADMARKERS AND TWO WITH FIELD STONES.
THE FOLLOWING MARKERS ARE LISTED UNDER THE TVA: WITH INSCRIPTIONS.
JAMES NEWBY
IN MEMORY OF JAMES NEWBY, BORN OCTOBER 13, 1788 AND DIED FEBRUARY 22, 1861.
THIS IS A LARGE OBELISK MARKER, ABOUT 10 FEET TALL. YET IT STILL COULD NOT BE SEEN FROM THE ROAD; BECAUSE OF THE BRUSH AND TREES, BUT THE GRAVE IS EASY TO GET TO.
SALLIE NEWBY
WIFE OF JAMES NEWBY, DIED NOVEMBER 26, 1881. AGE ABOUT 75 YEARS. THE WIFE, THE FRIEND, THE MOTHER. IN DREAMLESS SLEEP REPOSES HERE; MAY THOSE WHOSE LOVE TO HER WAS GIVEN, AND LIVE WITH HER IN HEAVEN.
SALLIE HAINES NEWBY WAS BORN AUGUST 4, 1803. HER GRAVE IS ALONG SIDE JAMES NEWBY'S.
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 27 ALABAMA
SARAH J. NEWBY
BORN NOVEMBER 10, 1831 - DIED JANUARY 7, 1882.
HER GRAVE IS ALONG SIDE SALLIE'S. ALSO NOTE HOW SOON HER DEATH OCCURRED AFTER THE DEATH OF HER MOTHER'S.
ANN T. CRUTCHER
WIFE OF D. C. CRUTCHER, BORN DECEMBER 1826. DIED APRIL 8, 1899. REST, MOTHER, REST IN ANGEL SLEEP WHILE FRIENDS IN SORROW O'ER THEE WEEP.
ANN T. NEWBY CRUTCHER WAS THE FIRST CHILD OF JAMES AND SALLIE NEWBY. SHE MARRIED DAVID CLOPTON CRUTCHER OF LIMESTONE COUNTY, ALABAMA ON 31 JANUARY 1850. WONDER WHAT THE "T" STANDS FOR?
WILLIAM D. CRUTCHER
SON OF D. C. AND A. T CRUTCHER. DIED MARCH 12, 1884. AGE 21 YEARS, 11 MONTHS, 29 DAYS.
EMMA A.Z. NEWBY
DAUGHTER OF H. W. AND A. V. NEWBY. BORN JULY 8, 1877 DIED NOVEMBER 15, 1896.
BETTIE C. CARTER
WIFE OF A. H. CARTER. BORN FEBRUARY 13, 1867 DIED AUGUST 19, 1910. A BELOVED WIFE AND MOTHER.
BETTIE C. NEWBY CARTER WAS THE DAUGHTER OF HENRY W. AND AMELIA V.
JIMMIE CARTER
SON OF A. H. AND BETTIE CARTER. JULY 19, 1897 - MARCH 5, 1914. IN YOUTH AND LOVE HE DIED.
THE FOLLOWING NAMES WERE LISTED AS BEING BURIED IN THE NEWBY CEMETERY, BUT NOT SHOWN IN THE TVA LISTING ABOVE. IT COULD BE I INADVERTAINLY LEFT THEM OFF. I HAVE BEEN TO THE CEMETERY AND SEEN SOME OF THE MARKERS BUT NOT ALL. THE CEMETERY WAS SO OVERGROWN WITH BRUSH AND TREES AND IT WAS A COLD DAMP DAY, THE DAY I WAS THERE I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE CLIMBING AROUND IN THE UNDERBRUSH TO LOOK AT ALL THE MARKERS. I WISH I HAD. I ALSO HAD MY YOUNG GRANDSON WITH ME.
A. V. NEWBY - WIFE OF HENRY W. NEWBY (I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS ONE)
HENRY W. NEWBY - SON OF JAMES AND SALLIE NEWBY (AND THIS ONE)
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 28 ALABAMA
VOLENTINE NEWBY - SON OF JAMES AND SALLIE NEWBY
SARAH NEWBY
DON'T KNOW WHO THIS COULD BE -UNLESS THERE WAS A CHILD BORN WHO DIED SOON AFTER BIRTH AND THEY DECIDED TO NAME ANOTHER DAUGHTER SARAH; HENCE SARAH JANE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A THREE YEAR PERIOD BETWEEN MATTHEW WHO WAS BORN AROUND 1828 AND SARAH JANE WHO WAS BORN ON 10 NOVEMBER 1831. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE TOMBSTONE SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY MORE INFORMATION ON IT OR NOT. THERE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE TWO UNMARKER GRAVES. COULD ONE OF THESE BE FOR MILDRED HAINES, THE MOTHER OF SALLIE HAINES NEWBY. THE OTHER POSSIBLY COULD BE FOR THE DAVID MARTIN WHO DIED AT THE HOME OF JAMES AND SALLIE NEWBY IN 1855. SEE VOLUME 97, PAGE 48 ABOVE.

NEWBY1:
FAMILY OF AMELIA VIRGINIA ("GINNY" OR "JENNIE") CRUTCHER WHO MARRIED HENRY W. NEWBY.
BRIEF SKETCH OF EARLY CRUTCHERS
THIS INFORMATION FURNISHED BY MRS. MAMIE CRUTCHER WALLACE OF ATHENS, ALABAMA. IN NOVEMBER 1972. MRS. MAMIE WALLACE'S ONLY SON "JOHN WARNER WALLACE" MARRIED FRANCES GARTH.
THERE WERE SEVERAL FAMILIES OF CRUTCHERS AND CHEANEYS IN VIRGINIA BEFORE 1700. SOME OF THEM UNRELATED AND SOME OF THEM PROBABLY RELATED TO OUR FAMILY.
THOMAS CRUTCHER WAS THE FIRST OF THAT NAME WE CAN PROVE WAS OUR ANCESTOR. HE WENT FROM MIDDLESEX COUNTY, VIRGINIA, INTO ESSEX COUNTY, VIRGINIA, AND BOUGHT LAND THERE IN 1717. WHEN HE DIED IN 1722 HIS SON, HENRY CRUTCHER, WAS MADE ADMINISTRTATOR OF HIS ESTATE. HENRY CRUTCHER DIED IN ESSEX COUNTY, VIRGINIA IN 1780. HIS SON REUBEN CRUTCHER MARRIED ELIZABETH CHEANEY IN ESSEX COUNTY, VIRGINIA. THEY MOVED TO CHARLOTTE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, IN 1789 AND DIED THERE. REUBEN CRUTCHER IN 1819, AND ELIZABETH IN 1823.

BILL PROBABLY KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE NEWBY FAMILY THAN ANYONE IN THE UNITED STATES. ESPECIALLY ABOUT MATTHEW NEWBY'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY. BILL'S GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS PATRICK HENRY DICKERSON NEWBY; ONE OF MATTHEW'S SONS. BILL IS THE ONE WHO HIRED A RESEARCHER IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA TO RESEARCH THE NEWBY FAMILY. MOST OF THE INFORMATION DEALING WITH THE EARLY NEWBY'S IN VIRGINIA CAME FROM HIM.
MATTHEW NEWBY CAME TO ALABAMA AROUND 1834 AND SETTLED IN LIMESTONE COUNTY.

I REMEMBER A PORTRAIT OF A CIVIL WAR SOLDIER IN THE UPSTAIR'S BACK BEDROOM OF GRANDPA AND GRANDMA NEWBY'S ON PIKE STREET}. I REMEMBER ASKING GRANDMA ABOUT IT (BECAUSE I COULDN'T TELL WHETHER IT WAS A CONFEDERATE OR UNION SOLDIER) SHE SAID SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A PORTRAIT OF GRANDPA'S FATHER. I THOUGHT THAT WAS STRANGE THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE. BUT SHE WASN'T UPSTAIRS AT THE TIME AND SHE MAY HAVE THOUGHT I HAD SEEN ANOTHER ONE OF SOMEONE ELSE. BUT I DON`T RECALL EVER SEEING BUT THAT ONE. WONDER WHERE IT IT NOW?

GRANDPA DOSIER HAD SEVERAL BROTHERS AND THEY SPELLED THEIR NAME DOZIER. BUT THE BROTHERS SPLIT DURING THE CIVIL WAR. SOME FOUGHT FOR THE NORTH AND SOME FOR THE SOUTH. AFTER THE WAR GRANDPA DOSIER CHANGED THE SPELLING OF HIS NAME TO DOSIER. I DON'T KNOW WHICH SIDE HE FOUGHT ON. ALL OF GRANDMA NEWBY'S BROTHERS WENT TO TEXAS. I'VE MET UNCLE JIM AND UNCLE EDDIE. I BELIEVE UNCLE JIM PREACHED AT GRANDMA NEWBY`S FUNERAL. MY FAMILY AND I VISITED WITH UNCLE EDDIE AND HIS FAMILY BEFORE HE DIED. WE HAVE SINCE BEEN BACK TO DALLAS, TEXAS AND VISITED WITH UNCLE BILL'S DAUGHTER EDNA AND HER HUSBAND EARL EZELL. EDNA SAID SOME OF THE FAMILY OUT THERE WAS WORKING ON THE DOSIER SIDE OF THE FAMILY. I HAVE ALSO MET AUNT FRANCES. DADDY TOOK GRANDMA UP TO TAFT, TENNESSEE TO SEE HER, BEFORE GRANDMA DIED. AUNT FRANCES SHOWED US KIDS HOW TO MAKE LITTLE PEOPLE OUT OF ACORNS AND TOOTH PICKS. I REMEMBER SHE WAS FUN.

* GRANDPA COLLETT SAID HIS GRANDMOTHER GATTIS LIVED TO BE 95. HE WAS RIGHT. THIS MUST BE THE RIGHT ONES. (SEE 1850 CENSUS ABOVE}
WILLIAM COLLETT AND LOUISA L. COLLETT THE PARENTS OF DR. JAMES A. COLLETT'S CAME TO THE UNITED STATES IN 1840. WHEN JAMES WAS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD. THEY CAME FROM FRANCE, AND SETTLED IN GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE. (GREENE COUNTY IS LOCATED IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE}. I FOUND A FEW COLLETT'S LIVING IN THE WESTERN COUNTIES OF VIRGINIA, THE ONES THAT BECAME A PART OF WEST VIRGINIA, BUT NONE OF MY KNOWN DATA FIT. I KNEW I WAS LOOKING FOR A JAMES A. COLLETT. I HAD ALREADY FOUND HIS TOMBSTONE MARKER.
REV.A 12/87 PAGE 46 FAMILY1
THE 1850 CENSUS FOR GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE WAS TAKEN ON 27 DECEMBER 1850 AND LIST WILLIAM COLLETT'S FAMILY AS FOLLOWS:

THE STATE OF BIRTH WAS LISTED AS TENNESSEE. THIS MAY BE TRUE, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAME FROM FRANCE. JAMES A. AND MALINDA E. (E IS FOR ELIZABETH) THE REMARK ABOUT ATTENDING SCHOOL DURING THE YEAR WAS PUT IN BY THE CENSUS TAKER. I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION A LETTER FROM ELIZABETH'S HUSBAND, DATED MARCH 24, 1878. HER HUSBAND WAS A DOCTOR ALSO, DR. F. BOLTON. THE LETTER WAS WRITTEN FROM FRILLENS, TENNESSEE. FRILLENS NO L0NGER EXISTS; I DON'T THINK. I THINK IT WAS CLOSE TO RHEATOWN, TENNESSEE. AND HE WROTE SALLIE THIS LETTER AFTER JAMES DIED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE A DOCTOR OF, MEDICINE, DENTISTRY 0R WHAT.
THE 1860 CENSUS FOR GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE. LISTS WILLIAM COLLETT’S FAMILY AS FOLLOWS:

SOME OF THE CHILDREN THAT WERE ON THE 1850 CENSUS ARE MISSING FROM THIS ONE. WILLIAM AND LOUIZA SEEMED TO HAVE DROPPED 2 YEARS OFF THEIR AGE. DON'T KNOW WHICH AGE IS CORRECT.
I DON'T KNOW IF JAMES A. COLLETT FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR. I COULD NOT FIND HIS NAME IN ANY OF THE CONFEDERATE OR UNION LISTINGS. (OF MEN FROM TENNESSEE WHO FOUGHT IN THE WAR). HE CAME TO LINCOLN COUNTY, (MIDDLE TENNESSEE), TENNESSEE. AROUND 1866. THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE LETTER FROM DR. F. BOLTON AND A NOTE IN A DIFFERENT HANDWRITING IN THE SAME LETTER. PROBABLY WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH. FAYETTEVILLE, TENNESSEE IS LOCATED IN LINCOLN COUNTY, TENNESSEE. HE MARRIED SALLIE GATTIS OF LINCOLN COUNTY, TENNESSEE IN 1872.

YET THESE DATE SHOW THAT MORELEY EVERET COLLETT WAS BORN BEFORE DR. JAMES A. COLLETT AND SALLIE GATTIS WERE MARRIED. LIKE I SAID I DOUBT THAT. * HIS TOMBSTONE GIVES 1873.
IN THE SAME LETTER FROM DR. F. BOLTON WAS ANOTHER NOTE WRITTEN IN A VERY PRETTY SCROLL, I THINK BY SALLIE, BECAUSE IT HAD THE ABOVE CHILDRENS NAMES AND BIRTHDAYS AND A NOTATION THAT IT WAS FROM THE FAMILY RECORD IN 1879. I MIGHT ADD THAT THIS LETTER AND NOTES WERE KEPT IN A BIBLE ALL THESE YEARS. I ALSO HAVE THE BIBLE. A NOTATION IN THE BIBLE SAYS CHARLEY. JAMES. ENOCHS. WAS BORN JUNE 17TH, 1870. AUNT ETHEL COLLETT TROUP, MUST HAVE, HAD THE BIBLE FOR YEARS., AUNT BESSIE COLLETT BOYANTON TOLD ME ABOUT THE LETTER AND SAID THAT WILLIE TROUP HUNTER HAD THE LETTER. I ASKED WILLIE IF I COULD SEE THE LETTER AND SHE VERY GRACIOUSLY GAVE BOTH THE LETTER AND THE BIBLE TO ME.
