Hello, I'm researching the Newman name. I find my gggrandmother b. 1796 in Georgia. Next time I find her is in Marion County Ms., 1815, where she: Mary Jane Jenny Newman married Hiram Norman. On the same day May 13, 1815 in the same courthouse in Marion County, a Nancy Newman married James Norman. Hiram and Mary Jane had two maybe three children. Hiram died in 1819, in Amite Co...... Ms. Mary Jane married John Wilson in 1827 in Lawrence co. In 1838 they had a son Rodolphus Wilson. I next found Her head of household on the census of 1840. I don't know if John Wilson died or just up and left. On the marriage license of Mary Jane and Hiram, and the license of Nancy Newman and James Norman, the same Joshua Gates signed for them. One other item, that same year in Oct. 1815 a Thomas Newman married Susannah Norman, in Marion co. Ms. I saw in the 1805 Ms. Territory census there was a William Newman. I know there are other Newmans that came to Mississippi in this time line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Johnie
