Hi: There are some interesting family letters concerning the Newport/Wollard family at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/tn+index+298366778268 +F One of the letters is from Nathaniel and Margaret Wollard of Buffalo, Missouri, to Asa and Elizabeth Newport of Rhea County, TN., dated August 1, 1850. I'm pasting the bit below (not part of a letter) explaining about the people in this family. Note that Hannah Hinds,( who I assume is the Hannah Hinds, daughter of Capt John HInds, the Rev. War soldier) is named in the explanation below. I do know that his daughter married a Newport. Some of their grandchildren are named below.
