Individual Details
Jacob NEWMAN
(1804 - Apr 1840)
Jacob was listed as head of his household in Muhlenberg County in 1830. However, in April of 1840, Jacob died, leaving Elizabeth as head of the household with eight children. On August 28, 1841, the widow married Jacob Riddle of the Laurel Bluff (Penrod) community. In 1850, they lived on an adjoining farm to Moses and Rachel Newman Welborn. Jacob Riddle and Elizabeth had two children of their own, Jeremiah (1842) and Mary Angeline (1845). Mary Angeline later married James M. Hope.
Only two of Jacob Newman's eight children remained in this household at this time. These were Alney (19) and Isaac (15). Isaac N. is believed to have married Nancy Blackwell in 1855. Alney, in 1852, married Sarah Ann Hunt, daughter of John and Ann Jnkins Hunt. The marriage license reads "Abney". Alney R. Newman died three months after his marriage. Sarah Ann (Sallie) married Marcus (Alexander) Kelly in 1856, and later in life was married to Perry Elzie Miller. Sarah Ann, by her second marriage, was the grandmother of the late genealogist Edward Manley.
The complete list of Jacob Newman's children is not available, but Thomas P. who lived in the area, and Nancy Jane, who married Jeremiah Hope in 1842, are suggested as children of Jacob.
Nancy and Jerry Hope have many descendants living in the Muhlenberg area today, in fact, almost any Hope in the south portion of Muhlenberg County for the past century, is a direct descendant of Jerry and Nancy Jane Newman Hope.
