Jay - My Aunt Nancee Newkirk McKee is in her mid-nineties and not expected to be around much longer - so I started working on her genealogy a few years ago. She was married to my uncle, J. Kenneth Mckee and has two kids Sandra b. about 1940 and Kirk b 1942.
What I have now is that William Roe Newkirk was first married to Ida Norris whose father was a famous western explorer who named the town of Pioneer, Ohio where Ida was born-- and wrote some books about Yellowstone Park and such. His name was Philetus Walter Norris and has a geyser in Yellowstone named after him. He was born 17 Aug 1821 m about 1845 to Jane K Cottrell.
William remarried after first wife died--- to Ida Joy.
I believe that Williams father was Nathan Newkirk of NY and is related to a long line of Dutch Newkirk from NY.
Also have info on the Hamers and Bonhams--Bessies family-Jeri
