Dear NEWCOM query, Saluda F. NEWCOM is the daughter of Jesse Newcomb and Elizabeth SKELTON, Jesse NEWCOM's Father is John NEWCOM who married Susanna WILMOTH, they had a number of children.... Elizabeth SKELTON's father is James SKELTON (I believe), and James SKELTON is mentioned in the History of Charlotte County, he cussed and was put in the stocks for a while (ha, ha). I have located a person in New Jersey who has old estate records for Jesse NEWCOMB and Elizabeth SKELTON, this person also has portraits of the coupel. Anyways, I have been trying for over five years to get a copy of those pictures. One person claims to have found who John NEWCOMB's parents are, but it has not been substantiated.... I think I have more on Saluda NEWCOMB and her decendants, if you are interested. I also have extensive information on my line to Jesse NEWCOM, he is a great grandfather.... If you are interested you can contact me directly.... Sincerely Paul Shipp shipppau@washburn.edu TOPEKA, KANSAS My line to NEWCOMB family is Paul SHIPP - John SHIPP - Emma NEWCOMB - Charles NEWCOMB - Robert F. NEWCOMB - Jesse NEWCOMB also I connect this way.... Paul SHIPP - Shirley FOSTER - Lillie LACKS - Elizabeth LACKS - Lucinda NEWCOMB - John NEWCOMB, jr. - John NEWCOMB (Father of Jesse NEWCOMB above) Also John NEWCOMB married Parthenia NEWCOMB who was the daughter of Elkanah NEWCOMB, who is related to John NEWCOMB's father.... Yes it is complicated....
