Hey Gene! How have you been? I have been pretty busy here and have not been able to do much genealogy, but have cleared up some mysteries. We finally jacked up the front of the house and rebuilt the floor in the living room, tore down a wall and made a couple of closets. I am so tickled that I got two closets and am getting more as time and money allows. It will be nice to have things somewhat more organized, to say the least. My great grandmother Hall was Margaret M. Newman. She was my Gr-grandfather's second wife - she was only 17 - the age of her step daughter - when she married Thomas Richard Hall. One of the genealogists in my family says Margaret married a second time after Richard's death, but after a year, it didn't work out and she went back to the name of Hall. She was born in KY in 1861-1863 (depending on the source). My grandfather was her fourth or fifth child. Margaret's parents were John Henry Newman and Elizabeth Branstutter. I don't have very much on John Henry, except that he was born between 1828-1833, and that he was born in either KY or TN. I have only gotten as far as John Henry's father, William Newman, who was born between 1812 and 1817, in either Knox Co., KY or NC. I think at that time the state and county boundaries between SE KY and NC and the counties forming in Ky, Tn and NC probably made it a bit hard to tell where William came from. He married a Jemima Pain/Paine/Payne. I have went back pretty far back with her lineage all the way back to Oyster Bay, New York. If you want, I could send you what I have on the Paynes, Stewarts and Harrises. Anita B. At 02:02 PM 4/25/2008, you wrote: >Hi Anita, > >Which Newman's are yours?
