William George Newitt is shown in Alan's tree posting. He came to the US via the port at New Orleans abt., 1852. I do not know the mode of transportation up to Evansville, IN - but that might be an interesting genie pursuit for info. Just wanted to tell you that Alan's posting showing one William George Newitt is one and the same who brought the Newitt family to Evansville from Chatteris, Cambridge, UK. Thanks for listening..

Hello Patricia I would be interested in a photo of Abe Newitt. Someone originally advised me that Abe's father, William George Newitt and his wife Louisa Eaton immigrated to New Orleans in 1852, however it must have been between 1858 an 1862, as their 7th child Thomas was born in Chatteris in 1857 and their eighth was born in Indiana, USA in 1863, then Abe about 1864. Regards Alan.
