Nancy, George Newman (d. 1804) bought land in South Branch Valley in 1788. The deed stated that he was from Prince William County. You gave names of 10 children. Not all Newman researchers agree with the list. Christopher (1769-1845) married Sarah Ross and moved to Adams County, Ohio. Samuel (1771-1848) also went to Ohio about 1804. John, a Revolutionary War vet, stayed in Hampshire County and was buried in the Stump cemetery at Little Cacapon. John's wife was Elizabeth (Stump) Moore, a widow. He was born circa 1753 and died on July 26, 1826. I believe there was an Isaac Newman in George's family, because he is in the early Baptist Church Records (pre-1800s), and he owned a lot next to George Newman. You might want to do some further research in my book titled, Historical Records of Old Frederick and Hampshire Counties, VA, (Heritage Books, Inc., Bowie, MD) which I believe is in most of the genealogical libraries. The Newmans appear to have been associated with the Primitive Baptist Church of that era. The historical records book provides information on the Crooked Run and Little Cacapon Primitive Baptist Churches, commencing in 1790 and 1810, respectively. The book gives also the name and address of Newman researchers. Let me know if you're not able to connect with the information given. Wilmer L.

Hello! I'm looking for descendants of Jonah Lupton Rees and his wife Annie Jackson. They had three children, Annie Jackson Rees, Mary Alice Rees who m. James O. Steer and Samuel David Rees. I believe Samuel David died sometime in the 1870s-80s. After moving West and spending some time in Ohio, the family (at least Mom, Dad and Annie) returned to Winchester and the Hopewell MM. There, in the 1930s, Annie J.R. helped edit the *Hopewell Friends History*, but we believe she never married and had no children. Does anyone know what became of Mary Alice Rees Steer... or of S.D. Rees. I am descended from their father's sister Jane Sidwell Rees. Thank you, Jen Godwin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J E N N I F E R G O D W I N P.O.

I have no info for you, and a "far-fetch" for me, but I just can't leave any stone unturned. My 3 gr-grfather was John NEWMAN Bragg, son of Joseph and Triphena Bragg, married 1808 in Fauquier Co VA. Speculation is that Joseph's mother was a Newman. I can determine Joseph's Bragg grandparents, but not his parents. By some SLIM chance, do you have any Bragg's married into the Newman family?? Thee was a George Bragg in Loudoun County in late 1700's. Any connection?? Good luck on your search!!

Mike: The darn AOL sent my mail too soon. Dr. John Stuart 1660-1705 married Elizabeth Albertus in 1687. He was from NJ. Lyle K. Corder

Dear Mike: My wife's ancestor is Matthias Wright 1845-1871 who married Rebecca Sprout.His father may be Benjamin who married Mary Selman in Harrison CO, VA/WV in 1821. I'm stuck. Stewart is a difficult family to do. My ancestor is Daniel Stewart d 1774 who married Comfort (?). His daughter Elizabeth married John Slaven and they lived in Highland and Bath COs in VA. Daniel's grandfather is Dr. John Stewart

Dear Joyce (Franke): Thanks for the reply on Hull. I use to belong to the Hull Assoc. I descend from Rev. Joseph Hull and Agnes. I have pictures on my wall from Barnstable , Mass. that tell about Joseph coming, etc. in 1639. I bet we are cousins.... Thanks again Lyle K. Corder

Valentine, I know of no published genealogy on Governor James Wood's (1741-1813) family. Gov. Wood married Jean Moncure and they left no descendants. The father of the Governor (and Revolutionary War General) was Col. James Wood the founder of Winchester and first Clerk of Court for Frederick County. Some genealogical information on the Wood family was published in 1926 by Katherine Glass Greene in her book "Winchester, Virginia and its Beginnings, 1743-1814," on pages 362-382. She cites Col. Wood's "Journal" as the source, which is believed to have been the same book that may be called Col. James Wood's Fee Book. Also, Mrs. Greene published the "Fees Belonging to James Wood, ANNO. DOM. 1744," which is a list of some of the first settlers in Old Frederick County. She published Fee schedules for three other years--Chapter XXVII, a total of 14 pages. You mentioned the Robert White family. You might be interested in knowing that a section on the White family is presented in my book, Frederick County, Virginia: Settlement and Some First Families of Back Creek Valley, 1730-1830.

Hi Kay, I'm not very familiar with VA publications, but a good place to start online would probably be VAGenWeb at http://www.usgenweb.com/va You will probably be able to find out exactly where to look for this marriage, and should also be able to post an "unknown county" query.

The Stewart name interests me because one of William's daughters married a Stewart in Bourbon County, KY after the family moved there in the 1790's. It seems that a large number of families from the area for Frederick / Berkeley counties area migrated to Bourbon County, KY about 1790-93.
