Roger named father-in-law Richard Skinner Power of Atty in 1675.



During Bacon's Rebellion, Roger was accused of helping the rebels to cross the James river. He said he did it at gunpoint and was acquitted.



This family could have had surviving sons not mentioned in the will. Perhaps son Wm was given his part earlier.



Also what happened to Roger's brother William? Did he have sons? What is the source for this William?

William Newsom, Jr., planter, of James City, later Surry Co., Virginia, was the son of William Newsom, Sr. of Newsom Hall, Lancashire, England. He is likely the "William Neesum" who came to Virginia aboard the "George" in 1635 (cf. Hotten's Emigrants p. 125) and (Passenger Lists, Public Record Office, Chancery Lane, London, England WC2A 1LR).

In 1636 he was granted 550 acres of land in the "County of James City toward Sunken Marsh for the transportation of 11 persons to Virginia" (Virginia Land Grants, Virginia Land Office, Grant Book 1, p. 338). This patent on the land was renewed Aug 26, 1643. Included among the "11 persons" William transported were three of his possibly four wives, Penelope Ramsey (the first), Sarah Fisher (the second) and Elizabeth Wilson (his third and then current wife). He probably married yet a fourth time to Gertrude ? (see main entry).

The records of William Newsom, Jr. are scant in the preserved documents of Surry County, Virginia. On September 6, 1653, a Henry Banister deeded to a William Batt land which had been left him by the last will of William Sheppard (we see here a relationship between the Newsoms and the Sheppards as soon as five years after the arrival of the Newsoms in 1635 - William's son William III married Anne Sheppard in 1669), and which was bought by William Newsom, Jr. in 1640 (Surry County, Virginia, D & W 1645-72, p. 30).

On January 22, 1658, William Batt sold this land and mentioned that it had been patented by William Newsom, Jr. in 1636 and was commonly called Rich Neck (ib., p. 127). This was only a part of the original patent, for William Newsom, Jr. still possessed the "Plantation in Rich Neck," which he left to his eldest son, William III (Surry County, Virginia, D & W, 1686-93, p. 226).

The last record of William Newsome, Jr. in Surry County appears November 1, 1657, when there is recorded a promissory note to John Flower from "William Newsome of Lower Chippoakes in James, Virginia, planter" (Surry County, Virginia, D & W 1645-72, p.111).

It is possible that William Newsom, Jr. had children other than William III and Alice. This is almost certain if he is identical with a William Newsom who was granted land in Lancaster County, Virginia after 1649 (Grant Book 2, p. 202, 203; Grant Book 5, p. 465; Grant Book 6, p. 264). A son of this William Newsom who was granted land in Lancaster County was probably Robert Newsom, whose will was dated December 20, 1693, and probated in Lancaster County July 10, 1695, and who left his property to his sons, William and Robert, and his daughter, Elizabeth. The son, William, died in Lancaster County in 1700 and left his land to his sons, William and Robert. His will is dated April 26, 1700, and probated October 10, 1700.

Another possible son of William Newsom, Jr. was Thomas Newsom (Nesham) who was granted land in James City County in 1696 (Grant Book 9, p. 51).

The generic source for much of the foregoing material is the work of B.C. Holtzclaw, Ph.D., University of Richmond, Virginia, the famous Newsom researcher of the first half of the twentieth century.

We are not yet sure from available records which of William's four known wives bore children William and Alice. Penelope Ramsey was selected at random to maintain lineage continuity.
