    Notes 
    • Candis Dorinda NEWSOM was born at Clapp's Factory on 29 JUL 1869, the daughter of Henry M. & Permelia A. (PAGE) NEWSOME Dorinda's father had been married previously on 16 DEC 1855 in Muscogee Co, GA, to Mary Ellen ABNEY (1837-1863, dau. of Absolom P. & Rosanna (HALL) ABNEY), and none of Henry's five children by her are known to have survived. It's quite possible that she and at least some of the children from this first marriage are buried at the Clapp's Factory cemetery, although I don't have a record of this John Land
