Jemima Bass is Jemima Nickens, dau. of James Nickens. The Newtons descended fron Ned Weaver of Hertford and Margaret Nickens, who married William Newton in 1805, Norfolk.A Bass is Chief of the Nansemond today. These Newtons do not appear to be the Newton ancestors of Wayne Newton.A member of his line appears in my earlier posting "Lydia Cole - Indian Descent".
James Nickens
