Looking for parents & sibs of Celia Ann CANE/CAIN b. 1/3/1797,
possibly in NC,
m. James Byron Newsom b. 12/10/1793 NC, both died in Greene Co, IN.
I have a James H.B. NEWSOME in my files, listed as born 18 Feb 1794,
married Sallie CANE. He was the son of Jacob C. NEWSOME and Lucy BARHAM.
I don't have anything on her, but should note that the "CANE" name could
very well be CAIN, as there is a large CAIN family in this part of NC as
well, although more in Rowan and Davie counties than in Stokes.
The name doesn't quite match for Celia/Sally, and the birthdate is
different, but it's close enough that I wonder if this could be your
couple?
My information on this family is mostly from the Stokes County Heritage
book, but also see the following web page:

Quite a lot of settlers from Stokes County moved to Greene Co. IN in the
early 1800s.

Husband's Notes...
---------------------------------------------
Notes:
Stokes Co. Heritage p. 399, article by Robert Carroll: He was born in
Southhampton Co. VA, served with VA troops in Revolution, and was present
with Captain Howell Edmonds Company at the surrender of Cornwallis at
Yorktown.
About 1790 he moved to Halifax Co. VA, lived there about five years, then
moved to Raleigh NC. He then moved to Guilford Co. where he was high
sheriff and a foreman in the gold mines at Jamestown. He married Lucy
(maybe Polly) Barham about 1787 [so presumably in Virginia].
In 1833 he bought land in Stokes/Forsyth Co.
Wife's Notes...
---------------------------------------------
Notes:
Lucy was his cousin, daughter of Sarah Newsom and Thomas Barham. Sarah was
daughter of Thomas Newsom b. 1685/6 and Elizabeth Crawford, as was Jacob
Newson b. 1727 who married Tabitha Gilliam. Since these families don't
seem to be in the Stokes Co. area, I haven't entered the rest of them into
my database yet.
