SIXTH GENERATION.
Eighth. James Newman, 8th and youngest child of Alex- ander and Frances, nee Bourne, born about 1784 ; is not men- tioned in the will of his brother George, 1802, and is believed to have died before his majority; unmarried. In 1798 "James, son of Fannie, of Orange," was apprenticed to learn carpenter's trade, in Orange county.
FIFTH GENERATION.
Second. Reuben Newman, 2d of Thomas, of Orange, and Elizabeth, nee Morton, and grandson of Alexander, born in Orange county, about 1742; died 1825, unmarried. From his will, dated Aug. 20, 1819, proven Aug. 27, 1825, recorded in Liber 6, folio 271, at Orange Court House, we infer he was what the world calls successful in business, as he left a large estate to Henry Hill, alias Henry Newman, and his wife.
Henry Hill, alias Newman, settled in the South, perhaps Mississippi, where he left a family of children. No further record.
Third. Abner Newman, 3d of Thomas, of Orange, and Elizabeth, nee Morton, and grandson of Alexander, born in Orange county in 1756; married Hester Mauzy, daughter of Henry and Ann, nce Withers, of Fauquier county, son of John and Hester, nee Foote, of Stafford county ; son of Henry, Sr., the emigrant, and his wife, Miss Conger, daughter of Dr. Conger, of England. Henry Mauzy, Sr., a French Huguenot, fled from France in 1685 ; upon the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, escaped to England, where he married, and where his son Henry was born, about 1690; emigrated to Virginia between the year 1697 and 1700; settled in Stafford county, where he at once acquired about fifteen hundred acres of land. (See Mauzy Records, by Wm. F. Boogher.) Abner Newman lived in Culpeper, Fauquier and Shenandoah counties.
