Children of William Newsom:
1850 Forsyth Co. Census, Household # 350/360:
William Newsom age 50
Elizabeth 48
Green Brindle age 17
William A. Brindle 13
Nov. 27th, 1849, Bastardy Bond signed by Sally Ledford and William Naysum (Newsom)
11th June, 1853, Bastardy Bond signed by Henerietta C. Brendle and William Newsom
1850 Forsyth Co. Census, Household # 1117/1131

John H. Sanders 3
1860 Forsyth Co. Census, Household # 10
William Newsom, 61
Elizabeth 58
Henry B. 13
George W. 9
Jacob L. 5
Note: this list of children was added August 7, 2003
We think Henry age 13 in 1860 is probably the Henry Newsome (1847-1888) who married Rosa Grubbs (1847-1930) in 1869. Both are buried in Clemmons Baptist cemetery, Forsyth Co. NC. Was he the child of William Newsom and Nancy Sanders, and thus the John H. Sanders age 3 in 1850?
Thomas Turner Ledford (1849-1903), buried Waughtown, was probably the son of William Newsom and Sally Ledford. He married Caroline L.R. Fisher, d/o Robert Fisher and Rachel Collins, in 1872.
Note: Update September 16, 2005: From Ada McBride's email dated August 15, 2005 regarding William Newsom: "His 1st wife was Elizabeth Ledford. Henrietta Brendle was his 2nd wife and she had several children out of wedlock. John Henry Newsom is the son of William Newsom and Nancy Sanders. John Henry Newsom is my great-grandfather. On John Henry and Rosanna Grubb's marriage certificate, William Newsom and Nancy Sanders are listed as his parents. J. Henry and Rosa Grubb Newsom are buried at Clemmons First Baptist Church Cemetery, Clemmons, NC. Rosanna " Rosa " Grubb's parents are George Grubb and Rosanna Michael." -------------
Children of Hartwell B. Newsom and 1) Elizabeth Gray
Lucy Newsum (abt. 1822-after 1880; maybe Lucy Doub 1821-1911, buried Elm Grove Methodist) m. Elijah Doub
Gilliam Newsum (1823-aft. 1860) m. Amanda Elizabeth Speas (abt. 1829-aft. 1860) (in Stokes Co., 1860; moved to Iowa)
Lottie Newsum - previously reported, maybe the same child as Mary (1831-1916)
Mary Newsum (1831-1916) m. William Benson Doub (1821-1877)
Washington Newsum (1834-186?). Did he marry Elizabeth Philips in 1855?
Hartwell Newsum Jr. (abt. 1839-186?)
Hart Newsom Jr. and Washington Newsome/Newsum were both killed in the Civil War, in the same battle. The story that we previously quoted regarding them appears to be apocryphal, however.
Children of Hartwell Newsum and 2) Mary Cork or Mary Cook
William F. Cork/Newsum (abt. 1831-?) m. 1) Mary M. Campbell (1834-bef. 1860), d/o William and Elizabeth Campbell;
2) Virginia (1834-bef. 1870; 3) Lavinia Reid (abt. 1842-?)
(In 1856, when William Newsum married Mary Campbell in Craig Co., VA, he names his father as Hartwell Newsum, his mother as Mary Cork or Mary Cook and his place of birth as Forsyth Co., NC)
Children of Hartwell B. Newsom and 3) Narcissa Gray
Sarah T. Newsum (1846-1904) m. Michael Hugh Collins (1846-?), s/o Lewis Collins and Rebecca Kelly
John M. Newsum (abt. 1848-aft. 1860) (insane, cause unknown)
James McDuffy "Mac" Newsum (1850-1925) m. Ann Elizabeth Kennedy (1847-1918) (lived in Nebraska and Kansas)
Alice Newsum (1853-aft. 1870) m. John A. Shaver
stillborn infant (1854)
Children of Hartwell B.Newsom and 4) Catherine Becker
Mahala Newsom (although Mahala is named "Newsom" in census record, she is proabably Catherine's from a previous marriage. A marriage license issued in Craig Co., VA in 1857 names Hartwell Newsume, age 56, widowed, white, born in Guilford Co., NC
corrections to Hartwell Newsom's information, August 4th and 7th, 2003
Previously we stated that Hartwell Newsome's second wife was Mary Cook or Mary Cork, and that she was the mother of four children, William, Mary, Hartwell and Washington. We were told by another Newsome researcher that this is incorrect, and that Elizabeth Gray was mother of these children.
Mary Newsome Doub's parentage is clear. Her death certificate names her parents as Hart Newsome and Betty Gray. William appears to be the son of Hartwell and Mary Cork, as indicated above.
We also stated that Elizabeth Gray's father was Joseph Gray. Joseph Gray was bondsman for her marriage in 1820 (Guilford Co. NC) but we do not have any proof that he was her father.
Narcissa's name was given to us originally as Gray, but we have recently been told that her death certificate gives her maiden name as Watts.
In 1850, Hartwell and Narcissa are living in Botetourt Co. VA with Sarah T. age 5 and John M. age 2. Elizabeth Newsom age 46 is living with Elijah and Lucy (Newsom) Doub in Forsyth Co. NC, and is thought to be Lucy's mother Elizabeth Gray Newsom; i.e. she is still living but Hartwell is now living with, presumably married to, another woman. Can anyone document this with court records, or a marriage record for Narcissa? In the same household is 19 year old William Cork.
We now think that the Elizabeth Newsom (1804-1861) buried at Doub's Chapel Methodist in Forsyth County may be Elizabeth Gray Newsom rather than the wife of Hartwell's brother William Newsome, whose wife Elizabeth is listed as age 48 in 1850 and 58 in 1860. Can anyone confirm this?
Children of James G. Newsom and Malinda Rebecca Shamel
George Wilson Newsom (1851-1923) m. 1) Ellen Petree (1861-1890); 2) Ella Spainhour (1873-aft.1900), d/o James Michael Spainhour and Millie Jackson; Ella was his brother Henry's widow
