Hi,
I thought I'd send a query over here. I would love to chat with Newman
experts of the county. I have already chatted with Brad who knew a few
things. I wondered if there are any others?
I have just found out I have a John Newman Jr (b. around 1811? in KY) who
married Gillian Pugh in Decatur Co., IN, on Apr. 7, 1831. His parents, I
have learned, is John Newman Sr and Rebecca Becraft who married in Clark
Co., Ky in 1809. (There was some confusion if Rebecca was actually John
Jr's mother, but I believe she is.)
John Newman Jr. would later go with Gilly and settle in Ripley Co., IN and
raise their family. One of their children (not my line) James Bernard
Newman went back to Decatur Co., and died there in 1885.
I would also be interested in connecting Gilly with a Pugh family.
Thanks.
Ellen Baker
