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 Culpepper 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. Records disclose the names of three of his sons Elias, Thomas and James, all probably born between 1705 and 1715.
