Hi Joyce,
I have wondered the same thing. My great grandfather was James Newton Carnahan and I have
wondered where the Newton came from but have had not luck finding that. Interesting that
it is also in the Youree family. I looked through my database and found these
"Newton" folks. It does seem to be especially used by the descendants of Andrew
Carnahan and John Carnahan, both sons of Hugh Carnahan and Mary and brothers of your Mary
Carnahan Youree.
Here is the list I came up with so far.
Frances N. Carnahan - b. abt 1926 Arkansas - s/o Clyde E. Carnahan & Pauline A. I
don't know for sure that the N. stands for Newton. Would anyone know what his middle
name might be.
I. Newton Carnahan - b. 1843 Arkansas - s/o Adam Carnahan & Rebecca Landers
James Newton Carnahan - b. 14 Dec 1836 Missouri - s/o John Carnahan & Margaret
England
John Newton Carnahan - b. 11 Jan 1910 Oklahoma - s/o Morgan Jerome Carnahan & Pansy
Lee Fenimore
John William N. Carnahan - b. 1878 Missouri - s/o Hugh Carnahan & Martha R. Smith.
Again, I do not know for sure what the N. stands for but Newton is a possibility. Does
anyone else know????
Newton Carnahan - md Virginia Robinson
Newton Carnahan - b. 6 Jan 1858 Tennessee - s/o Newton C. Carnahan & Permelia Akers
Newton Anderson Carnahan - b. 21 Aug 1885 Missouri - s/o John Richard Carnahan &
Missouri Jane Shoat
Newton C. Carnahan - b. 30 Jan 1818 - s/o James Carnahan & Jane Helton
Newton Lafayette Carnahan - b. 1853 Arkansas - s/o William Carnahan & Rebecca Marrs
Newton M. Carnahan - b. 1846 - s/o William H. Carnahan & Catherine McNeely
Robert Newton Carnahan - b. 1850 Oregon - s/o Hiram Carnahan & Marh Ellen Morrison
Samuel Newton Carnahan - b. 1834 Arkansas - s/o Samuel Carnahan & Mary Pyeatt
Sanford Newton Carnahan - b. 1894 Texas - s/o James Newton Carnahan & Mary Ann
Jinkins
Sanford Newton Carnahan - b. 1922 Texas - s/o Sanford Newton Carnahan & Frances Adah
Humphries
William Newton Carnahan - b. 1907 - s/o Joseph C. Carnahan & ????
Perhaps others can add to this Newton list.
Like you I would love to know where the Newton came from.
Take care - Emma
