Unsure if this Newton Shipp is the son of Jesse Richard Shipp or not.He was not in the 1860 census with Jesse - in the 1870 census he was listed as living with Jesse Shipp age 12.In the 1880 census he was living in a bording house - age 23.But this is the Newton Shipp that married first Margaret Cates January 15, 1882.He next married Nancy Teague March 04, 1883 & finally Mary Berry January 30, 1887.He died sometime around 1889 & Mary Berry Shipp married Newton's younger brother Henry Shipp. (or at least that is how the story goes)
This Margaret Cates - I "think" is the daughter of William A "Tommy" Cates & Johanna Tarkington.That would have made her 13 or 14 at age of marriage - she did not live long after they married - about 8 months.I have been told that she is Pee Dee Cemetery but I did not see her in the cemetery listing.
