Hi Marsha, You are so right. I went back to my Abstract of Wills volume
and it is Samuel Newby and not Joshua's will. I think I was had just looked
at the census, and had "Joshua" in my mind. Thanks for correcting this!

Hi Linda,
I believe there may be some kind of a mix-up here as to the children of
Joshua Newby. These were the children of Samuel Newby III (1776 NC -
1859,
Wash. Co, IN.) Samuel's will information comes from
"Abstracts of Wills
of
Washington Co, IN, 1808-1902" by Julie Davis and is recorded in
Wash. Co's
Will Record A, pp 539-540. His will was dated: Feb. 27, 1857 and probated
Feb. 13, 1859. Also, Nancy Newby wrote an obit for him in the CHRISTIAN
RECORD, Third Series - Elijah Goodwin, Editor and Publisher, Indianapolis,
IN, Vol. III no. 10, Oct. 10, 1859, pg. 320.
Rebecca Newby was b: May 9, 1824, Wash. Co and d: March 23, 1911, Wash.
Co.
She married Empson DURNIL on May 4, 1844, Wash. Co.
Samuel Newby III had been married 2 times. 1) Peninah HOBBS, had 4
children
(incl. Elisha, b: 1806, Randolph Co, NC, md: Mary GREEN in 1829,
Wash. Co.
and Sarah, b: 1802, Randolph Co, NC who md. the FISHER) 2) Mary BEAMAN, b:
abt. 1793, NC who was the mother of 10 children.
Mary BEAMAN was the sister of Peninah Allene BEAMAN who was the wife of
Anderson PAVEY (I am a direct desc. of Anderson & Peninah Pavey.) Samuel
Pavey III and Anderson Pavey are both buried in the old Newby Cem. in
Washington Co.
