Hi Jeannette,
I am resending this to you as you might not have received it earlier. My grandmother,
Edna Draggoo Whitcomb's mother was Lovina Newell, daughter of Thomas B. Newell and
Lois Thurston. That is my relationship to the Newell and Thurstons. I am not familiar
with a Daniel of Newell Thurston, however, I would not rule out a relationship. You
mentioned Newell Thurston who was born in 1833 in New York. It is quite possible that
Daniel had a brother, Thomas B., beacause the time frame would fit. Thomas B. was born in
New York. I will try to connect with Sarah Woelhoff in Kansas City to see if she has any
info. I know that Lois Thurston Newell's parents were James Thurston and Lois Middaw
(Middaugh). I can be contacted at newstome@
netnitco.net. Thanks. Jean
