NEWMANs TX,NM,OK,AR c1880-present
I am searching for the parents of Walter Wallace NEWMAN. The only info I have on him comes from my grandmother's delayed certificate of birth. She was Ina NEWMAN b 14 Dec 1901 in Chagris, IT,to Walter Wallace NEWMAN b TX and Deola WILSON b TX. (Ina used a Susie CARTER-aunt as a witness to the info on the birth certificate.) Walter and Deola settled in an area around Fox, Carter Co., OK and farmed.Their other children were Ruth, Mabel, Virginia, Reba, William, Paul, Millard and Mildred (twins). Deola was supposedly 1/2 Choctaw.
Ruth m Jess PHIPPS and owned a grocery store in Fox for many years. Mabel never married and was Deaf. Virginia was a school teacher for many years. Reba m Tollie BREWER. Mildred m Clinton WHITE and lived in Cushing, OK. My grandmother, Ina, married Frank Campbell SMITH b 31 Oct 1902 in Arlie, Childress Co., TX to William Edward SMITH b 1874 AR d 1943 Pinon, Otero Co., NM and Mary Zula ANDERSON b 1879 Llano, Llano Co., TX d 1917 Pinon, Otero Co., NM. William and Zula had a goat ranch in the Pinon area. There were supposedly NEWMANs living in the Weed, NM area (just north of Pinon) and/or in the Fox, OK area at some point because a young goat rancher in New Mexico met and married a young farm girl from Fox, OK.
To confirm that theory, Ina also had a cousin, Justin NEWMAN, whose father was Walter's brother. Several years ago, my uncle, Warren SMITH, attended Justin's 50th wedding anniversary in Ft. Smith, AR. While he was there, he met people from several branches of the NEWMAN tree. Some were from AR, some from OK, and some were from Weed, NM. Several of these NEWMANs had already done extensive research on their respective branches. Unfortunately, my uncle couldn't remember any of their names. Justin passed away a few years ago and his widow is no longer at the phone number my uncle had.
If anyone has any info on my "bunch", I would appreciate your response. . .that is, if you have any strength left after reading this "War and Peace" query. lolSome of my older queries were made from an old email address. My current address is [email protected]. Thanks!
