John was born on Aug. 29, 1812 in Kentucky and died 1876 in Indiana. Jane and John had 17 children. If you are interested, please refer to The McNew Clan website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~greatmcnewclan/mcnew.htm Jane Ann "Jenny" Waters was born c1815 in Kentucky. She died in Indiana and is buried at Old Hopewell Cemetery, Otter Creek Township, Ripley County, Indiana. She was the daughter of Thomas M Waters and Sarah O'Neal. According to my great grandfather's (DL McNew) diary, Thomas and his sister were kidnapped by Indians when they were children and were raised by the Indians. When they returned to the White Settlement, they never reunited with their family. His records did not show whether Thomas was a Waters or just 'assumed' the name of Waters? If anyone is familiar with this story, please advise. I am including a picture of both John Brushcreek McNew and Jane Waters. I do not know when the pictures were taken, but they were identified on the back.
