His brother, George, was long-time civic personality and the Constable/Sheriff at Evansville. There are several children and their father's name was William George Newitt. George's son was also named George Newitt and served under Teddy Roosevelt as his youngest Rough Rider. George (the younger) married his first cousin, Mable Newitt, daughter of Abe and Elizabeth (Charlesworth) Newitt. Abe and George (the elder) helped their father with a floral business in Chicago and did the landscaping of the World's Fair in Chicago. William George died in Dayton, OH and had remarried. Abraham Lincoln Newitt was born the day that Pres. Lincoln died, and was the baby of William George's family. There is a very good genealogist down in that area by the name of Linda Zapp. If you're interested I can give you her address. She has been very helpful. My grandmother was Abe and Elizabeth's dau., bor! n in Chicago.
