Individual Details
Samuel Newman
(Abt, 1741 - February 27, 1795)
"Samuel Newman's will was made in Washington County (later Warren), Georgia, was recorded February 24, 1795 (or this could have been an error and was recorded in 1798)." (DEEP ROOTS AND STRONG BRANCHES by Clara Vaughan Hatcher O"Brien, 1972, page 335.) (NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: This source does not show Samuel Newman as a child of Samuel Newman, and leaves out a generation, as the Rev. Jonathan Newman was a son of Samuel Newman, who died in 1834, not the Samuel Newman who died about 1795.)
"As Connie Newman states in her book " Samuel, Jr and his wife -- joined her family in Georgia before the death of his father Reverend Newman" The will of Reverend Newman leads you to believe that the land he owned in Georgia was left to Samuel and Eve because he had already made his home in Georgia with his in-laws. The first land records in Georgia on Samuel, Jr. and his wife Eve are in Richmond County on February 6, 1781. "Samuel Newman, planter and wife Eve to Richard Castleberry, blacksmith, all of St. Paul's Parish, land originally granted 1769 to Paul Castleberry". Many land transactions involved Samual Newman, Jr. in Georgia counties. His will indicated he was a resident of Washington County, Georgia.
"Samuel and Eve were members of the Long Creek Baptist Church in Wilkes County, Georgia before 1786. Many relatives attended this church from the period of 1788 to 1797. Some of the minutes of the church are given here to show that all was not in complete harmony at all times. **Richard Castleberry was sighted for fighting and drinking, but later forgiven. Jan. 19, 1793, Peter Castleberry, Thomas Jones, Richard Castleberry charged with Fighting. February 6, 1793, Richard Castleberry charged with fighting. June 16, 1797, Richard Castleberry informed church he had struck a man in anger. July 15, 1797, Richard Castleberry charged with drinking too much and threatening to kick a man**
"Two months later, Richard asked and received a letter of dismissal for himself and his wife. You can see that Richard was not a man to cross. **John Harrison, the husband of Elizabeth Newman had a quarrel that he took before the church with his sister-in-law Anna Lovett Newman. Samuel Newman was charged with perjury by a Brother Castelberry. Samuel Newman was excommunicated as a result of the church agreement. Later in 1814, John Harrison is excommunicated for immoral conduct. September, 1828, his wife Elizabeth Newman is excommunicated for "not hearing the Church".
"Other members of the Newman Family were on the roll of the Long Creek Baptist church, which are too numerous to mention here, and makes for very interesting reading.
"The cause of Samuel, Jr's death will never be know, but from the settlement records it can be determined that the sickness that preceded his death has an annoying cough. Money was paid to John Horn for "Rum and Sugar for the last sickness of the deceased". Samuel's wife Eve preceded him in death according to church records.
"The burial place of Samuel and Eve are not know, but it is believed that they were buried in a lost cemetery or in the Bush River Baptist Church Cemetery." (Jan Strickland, August 2001.)
