Lenny, For clarification the Newberry five are Hazel, James (who somehow picked up the name Thomas added to his name, but which probably isn't right), Isaac, John (who may or may not have the middle name of Milton) and William (about whom less is known than the others. They were all originally in Newberry and four moved out. William to Laurens Co (where John is also found for one census year) and the others to Greenville Co. James and Isaac stayed in Greenville and john went to Alabama after some time in Greenville also. I continue to believe they were all brothers, but if proof can be found that they were not, I will concede. Lou Ann

I'm getting confused by the discussion of the Newberry five. Are there wives that can be attached to these men?

I believe the wives for James and Isaac are Linna and Mary Hughes (sisters). This of course makes the DNA process more difficult. However, Tom Cates does have one DNA connection up a generation through one of those Hughes sisters brothers. There is no better explanation in the trees for the match than the Hughes line. This evidence leads me to believe he must come through James or Isaac and at the best point for where the lines would meet would be Atlanta in 1850 or so, which really focuses on James (Thomas)'s sons. So I would love to compare autosomal DNA with anyone descended from James or Isaac in particular.
