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.
