II. THOMAS NEWMAN.
Thomas Newman, born in England about 1620, emigrated to Virginia in the ship "Plaine Joan" in 1635, aged 15 years ; probably settled with his brother John in James City county, Virginia, and moved with him to the Northern Neck. His name, however, does not appear upon any record until 1677, when he made a deed to his son Thomas, conveying one-half of his real and personal property to the latter, who was about to be married. This deed, of record at Tappahan- nock, Virginia, is attested by Philip Pendleton. The immi- grant Thomas probably married a daughter of Henry Burdett, Sr., whose will, proven in 1695, in Richmond county, is now lost with Will Book 1; but the remaining records prove that he was executor of, and a devisee under the will. He died intestate, about the beginning of the year 1700, and his per- sonal estate was appraised at 16,577 pounds of tobacco. He probably had daughters; the wives of Avery Naylor, John McMelion (McMillan ?), and Frances, wife of John Wilson, may have been among these. He certainly had but one son, Thomas, born probably before 1656, and after the removal of his father to what is now Richmond county.
SECOND GENERATION.
Thomas Newman, Jr., only son of Thomas the immigrant, born in Virginia, is frequently mentioned in the records of Richmond county, and by will and descent acquired nearly
247
NEWMAN FAMILY OF VIRGINIA.
all the Newman property in the Northern Neck. He con- veyed Moratico to John Tarplay in 1700, and the deed shows that he lived in Littenbourne (Littenbourne parish), probably on the place given him by his father, and recites that the lands conveyed were given him by Capt. Alexander Newman, in his last will and testament. As, at the time of the latter's ". death, there were three Thomas Newmans in Richmond county, to-wit : the immigrant, his son and grandson, Tarplay instituted an inquiry, in 1711, to ascertain who was the Thomas to whom Capt. Alexander Newman devised Moratico. This inquiry is of record at Warsaw and contains the testi- mony of Capt. Wm. Woodbridge, Wm. Fitzherbert, Dominick Benneham, Mrs. Winnifred Griffin, and George Glasscock. The first testified that he had often heard Capt. Newman say that " if he died without issue he would give the plantation where he then lived to Thomas Newman, because it should not go out of the name of Newman," and that he was "that Thomas Newman who was reputed to have married the daughter of Mr. Elias Wilson, deceased." Fitzherbert testi- fied similarly, but changed the Captain's language so as to make him declare that he would give the land to Thomas " to bear up the name of Newman," and identified him as " the son of Thomas Newman, who lived across Rappahannock Creek." He died between 1704 and 1707, and left issue :
1. Alexander, born 1678.
2. George, ) evidently twins, born 1681, as both were minors
3. John, in 1701 and of age in 1702.
4. Thomas, a minor in 1707.
THIRD GENERATION.
First. Alexander Newman, 1st of Thomas, Jr., bought a large tract of land in 1699, in Lancaster county, formerly owned by John Newman, the immigrant, and by him devised to his son John ; upon this he built a stone mill which is still standing ; so says the clerk of the county Court. Alexander
248
GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY.
appears to have resided in Lancaster until about 1735, when, as " Alexander Newman, of St. Mark's Parish," he leased a tract of land in Orange county, on the south side of the Rapidan, of Alexander Spottswood, " for three lives, himself and his sons, Thomas and James." There is of record at Warsaw a deed, dated 1737, from " Alexander Newman of Orange County, Planter," to Landon Carter, conveying the tract of land devised by Henry Burdett, the elder, to Thomas Newman, and the court order showing the acknowledgment of the deed recites that Alexander was the heir at law of Thomas. Upon this tract Carter built his famous home, Sabine Hall; at the time of the sale it seems to have been adversely held by Jane Thomas. Possibly the suit of Alex- ander Newman vs. Humphrey Thomas, abated by the latter's death in 1732, concerned this land.
Alexander Newman was a member of the grand jury of Orange county in 1737, and is mentioned in several suits there, the last as late as 1760. He undoubtedly lived in what is now Culpeper county, and probably died soon after 1760. Between 1740 and 1750 he was engaged in a law suit in Richmond county with his wife Penelope, from whom he had separated. She obtained, finally, a judgment against him for maintenance and support ; and Elias Wilson, evidently a kinsman, acknowledged himself surety for the payment of the money. The records disclose the names of three of his sons, viz :
1. Elias.
2. Thomas.
3. James, all probably born between 1705 and 1715.
FOURTH GENERATION.
