Family members say he was in the Civil War and was shot in the kneecap. He lived in Dyer County, Tennessee at the time of his death. He married Betty Pool(e) and they had the following children: Lela Leveta (my husband's great-grandmother), Cass, Elipe, Ida, and Lillie. We are told that Newt came to Tennessee from Arkansas and that he was an illegitmate child. Does this ring any bells? I'm totally stumped on this line! Karen
