Thank you for your reply. I am ggrandson of Isaac B. NEWNAM, husband of Katie J. Childs.
Mary J. NEWNAM, often misspelled NEWMAN, was sister of Isaac. They were children of Gary
P. NEWNAM, b. 3 Mar 1806, Talbot Co., Md., who came to LaGrange Co., Ind. in 1836 and
married Clarissa STURGIS. Mary J. NEWNAM married George STURGIS of South Milford and they
moved to Topeka, Kansas. I recently found that Mary died 11 Sept 1913, George died 8 Sept
1892 in Topeka. They had 2 dau's and a son, George P., according to the obit's.
Gary NEWNAM's father was Benedict NEWNAM, b. 1767 in Talbot Co., Md. His father has
not been found as yet but the NEWNAM's of the Eastern Shore of Maryland were
descended form a John NEWNAM who came from England about 1660 and had many, many
descendents in Md. and Del.
Would appreciate anything more you can tell me about the CHILDS, LIKES lines.
