Seeking information on the family and background of Exa Susan STATHAM and
her husband William NEWSOME. Their son John N. NEWSOME was b. 06 OCT 1869
in Lochapoka, Lee Co, AL, and moved to Phenix City, Russell Co, AL, where
he married 16 JUN 1891 to Mattie ESTES (1872-1966). John was a superintendant
at the Eagle and Phenix Mill across the Chattahoochee River in Columbus,
Muscogee Co, GA. He and Martha had eleven known children.
Is Exa Susan
STATHAM kin to Robert Jasper STATHAM (b. ca. 1841 Barbour Co, AL), who
m. 1858 Muscogee Co, GA to Elvira ABNEY (b. ca. 1840 GA)? Robert is one
of at least seven children of Pleasant STATHAM, Sr (ca. 1772 GA - bef.
1850 - said to be son of John & Elizabeth STATHAM) & Nancy GOLDSMITH (ca.
1800 GA - aft. 1880), who m. 1816 in Putnam Co, GA. They had at least
six children besides Robert: Sherwood (b. 1818), Martha, Nancy, Susan,
Pleasant Jr. (b. 1838), and Charles (b. 1843). All were b. Pulaski Co,
GA, except Robert and Charles, b. in Barbour Co, AL. Is Susan the same
as Exa above?
Robert & Elvira had four children, including Rosa Lavada
STATHAM (1879-1926), who m. Joseph Fletcher NEWSOME (1874-1951). Elvira,
who is daughter of Absolom P. & Rosanna (HALL) ABNEY, had a sister Mary
Ellen ABNEY (1837-1863) who m. 1855 Muscogee Co, GA to Henry M. NEWSOME
(1836-1899), son of James & Elizabeth (NEWSOM) NEWSOM. Henry was brother
to John NEWSOME (b. 1820), grandfather of Joseph Fletcher NEWSOME. What
is Henry's kinship to William NEWSOME above?
Any help appreciated. I
will be glad to share further information on these families. Thanks -
John
