• Notes

  NEWSOM, Alice Josephine - b. 01 MAY 1866 (prob. Muscogee Co.) GA, d. 06 SEP 1871- this is Henry’s second of eight children by Permelia A. PAGE and may also be buried at Clapp’s. NEWSOM, Robert Marion - b. 04 OCT 1873 (prob. Muscogee Co.) GA, d. 15 JUN 1881 - this is Henry’s fifth of eight children by Permelia A. PAGE; the family were living at Brownville, Lee Co, AL on the 1880 census, so it’s possible Robert is buried at Clapp’s. However, the family were in Carroll Co, GA by MAR 1884, when Henry and Permelia’s eldest child Barney married.

NEWSOME, brother to F. Penelope NEWSOME, James NEWSOME, and Elizabeth (NEWSOME) BELCHER who are buried at Clapp’s. After Ellen’s death, Henry m2. Permelia A. PAGE, whose brother William PAGE is also buried at Clapp’s. Henry and Permelia were living in the Clapp’s Factory community on 29 JUL 1869 when their daughter, Candis Dorinda NEWSOM was born (per family Bible record). None of Henry’s five children by Ellen is known to have survived to adulthood, and they too are likely buried at Clapp’s Cemetery. (However, Ellen’s and the children’s interments there are speculative at this time.) According to family Bible records, they are (probably all b. and d. in Muscogee Co, GA):
