Subject b. Nov 08, 1828, Clark Co KY. F. was Spencer Neville Calmes, son of
Marquis de la Calmes IV of Woodford Co. Ky.She m. my GGgrandfather, William
Ricks Newland, (b. Aug 18, 1822 KY, county and parents unk) at Pettis Co MO.
Jun 25, 1850. They had numerous children, all born near Georgetown, MO in
Pettis Co. Oldest sons were Edward (or Edwin) and Clay T. After 1870 they
moved to Ellis Co. TX and prospered as cotton farmers. Sarah d. Oct 7, 1884
and William d. may 27, 1890. Both are interred in
Waxahachie city Cemetary.
I have been unsuccessful in tracing parents of William Ricks Newland and what
county in KY he was born. On all censuses he indicated both his parents were
b. in KY. Would appreciate any facts or clues stemming from Calmes side.
Spencer Neville Calmes apparently moved from Clark Co Ky to Pettis Co Mo c.
1842. It may be that William Ricks Newland met his future wife Sarah in KY.
or in MO.
I have deatils of Spencer's estate from Pettis County Mo court f and other
facts for anyone interested.
Thanks.
