Moriah Cemetery in Marshall County, Alabama. As you probably know, Newell's dates are (12/1843 - 12/1918) and Martha's (03/26/1845 - 01/04/1933). They were married on August 20, 1865. I know they were born, married, were in the Marshall County Census in 1880, 1900 and 1920 and that they died there. When were they in Texas? As I wrote before, Martha and Newell could not have children of their own but they adopted a little girl, Mary Belle McClendon, when she was about the age of 3 (in 1878). Stories have it that Mary Belle's mother had died and Newell and Martha came upon what remained of her family on their way to Chattanooga, Tennessee. When Newell and Martha made a complimentary remark about the 3 year old red-head, Belle's father asked them to take her. Nothing is known about Mary Belle's birth family. However, she married Asa Culbert on March 2, 1892 in Marshall County. They had five children: Combie, John Motley, Mary Florence, Carmen and Andrew Jackson Culbert (my grandfather). Asa died in a freak logging accident on Halloween of 1903, when my grandfather was just a couple months old. Belle married a widower named John M. Henry on June 9, 1906 in Marshall County. They had four children: Mary, Bernice, JL Burnett and May Henry. John Henry died in 1924 and Belle retook the name "Culbert". She died on November 5, 1955 and is buried at Woosley Cemetery in Marshall County next to her first husband, Asa, with a simple tombstone which reads, "Belle Culbert - wife of Acie". For further information regarding this line, please contact me directly at LADYAB@JPS.NET Jennifer P.S. I'm sorry to say that I have no other information regarding Newell's siblings, just their names and approximate years of birth. I do, however, have information regarding Newell's uncles, John, Peterson and Leonard.
