UPPER MONONGAHELA VALLEY.


(I) Captain Andrew Newcomb seems to have been the ancestor of the largest branch of the Newcomb family in America. According to tradition he came from the west of England, perhaps Devonshire or Wales. He is first mentioned in 1663, in Boston, Massachusetts, when he married his second wife, Grace Rix, widow of William Rix, or Ricks. He was at that time a mariner or sea captain, and it is quite probable that this had always been his occupation. In 1679 he was "Master of ye Sloope Edmund and Martha," then in New York, and bound for Boston, probably from Virginia, as a part of his lading was tobacco. In the Suffolk deeds there is an agreement dated February 14, 1672, in which Andrew and his wife Grace are to enjoy during life the old dwell- ing house formerly owned by William Ricks. Andrew signed his name both Newcomb and Newcombe. His will, dated December 9, 1686, bequeathed to his wife, daughter Grace Buttler, grandson Newcomb Blake, and others. Children of first wife: Andrew, mentioned below; Susannah, born between 1645 and 1650. Child of second wife : Grace, born October 20, 1664, in Boston.


(II) Lieutenant Andrew (2) Newcomb, son of Captain Andrew (1) Newcomb, was born probably in England, about 1642. He was doubtless living at or near the Isle of Shoals in 1666. The earliest record of his purchase of land in this country is dated April 20, 1669, in which it appears that Andrew Newcomb, of Kittery, York county, Maine, fisherman, bought a house in Kittery, and six acres of land. He sold the house and land, July 7, 1674, to John Cutt, of Portsmouth. The place is still in Kittery, situated about half a mile north of the city of Portsmouth, and is owned and occupied by Miss Sally Carter. An- drew Newcomb was constable in 1671 at the Isle of Shoals. He moved about 1675 and settled in Edgartown, Massachusetts, where he was a proprietor and at various times received share in the division of lands in the town. He served several times as juror; constable in 1681; assessor in 1685 ; selectman and overseer in 1693. He was chosen lieu- tenant, April 13, 1691, and the same year was in command of the forti- fication. He owned the land on which the court house now stands, in the village of Edgartown. He died sometime between March 7, 1703- 04, and October 22, 1708.


He married (first), about 1661, Sarah -, who died about 1674. He married (second) in 1676, in Edgartown, Anna Bayes,

CALLAHAN Dr. James Morton Callahan, who has been head of the department of History and Political Science at West Virginia University since 1902, belongs to a pioneer stock whose ancestors early settled in Virginia and New York.


His maternal grandfather, William Tannehill, was born at Genesee, Livingston county, New York, October 8, 1807; he was for a time a proof-reader on the Louisville Courier-Journal, and later published a newspaper at Salem, Indiana, where he was married November 21, 1828, to Emily Texas Hamersly, born in Ontario county, New York, August 3, 1810. Through his paternal grandmother he is related to the Boyd family which early settled in the Valley of Virginia and con- tributed greatly to the settlement of Kentucky, from whence its de- scendants scattered far and wide along the lines of the westward march. His great-great-grandfather, Henry Callahan, who emigrated from Ireland, established a store at Martinsburg soon after the revolution, and was drowned in Opequan creek while transporting goods from Richmond. His great-grandfather, Thomas Callahan, was born in November, 1777, married Betsey Martin (1798), and, after succes- sive emigrations to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana (where he was engaged in teaching), died February 2, 1852, and was buried at "Old Union" Church, in Lawrence county, Indiana. His grand- father, Isaac Callahan, born in Pennsylvania, December 14, 1805, was married in Kentucky in 1825 to Jane (or Virginia) Boyd (born Sep- tember 29, 1806), whose father John was born at Martinsburg, Vir- ginia, in 1760, and married Nancy Martin there. In 1828 he moved with his wife and two children to Lawrence county, Indiana, where after rearing a large family he died February 26, 1883, and was buried at Shiloh Church, five miles west of Bedford.


Martin Isaac Callahan, one of the sons of Isaac, and the father of James Morton, and well known as a local teacher, was born February
