Mary Elizabeth Newman

Notes:

Note from Vida Hale Pope - Grandma Coffman always claimed that God "told her things". She said that God told her that Evan (her grandson) was going to die while visting family in Kentucky. Evan did develop diphtheria and may have died from a reaction to the medience he was given. Grandma said nothing about this until years later.

James married Catherine Walters on 4 Jul 1822 in Wythe Co, VA. Catherine was born about 1800 in VA; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

1850 census shows Catherine to be 40 years old. Marriage records shows she was married in 1822 which would mean she was 12 years old when she married. Her oldest son is 26.

The 1840 census shows James age as 40-50 and Catherine's as 30-40.
James died before the 1850 census.

1834 Lee Co VA Tax List shows James Newman
