Susan, This is what I have, too. I've been told by a cousin that there is some question about George being the father of Newton. Have you specific info to support George being the father. I am sure of the children's names, as seen on the 1860 census. My mother, Faye Brown Johnson, is the granddaughter of Thomas A. and Martha Jane Coleman. I would love to get more info. on Newton's parents. Thank you!!
