Green County Kentucky

A reader wrote the following:

A line of Newcombs originated in Maryland and found their way to Kentucky in the 1790s and early 1800s. The base line ancestors that have been well documented are Mathew (MD - 1795), Isaac (MD - 1793), and John Wesley "Turk" MD 1790. The family names they married into in my line were Holland, Davis, Caulk, Benningfield, Sapp, Burris (var. sp.) among others. This line populated the Rolling Fork Branch of the Salt River Watershed and the Valleys of the upper Green River in central Kentucky.

At one time this line of Newcombs was well discussed on this site and others.

I will be sending email ticklers to some who have contributed here-to-fore and invite new submitters for this line.

I have come down through a branch that has the spelling of Newcome. That change was due to an enumerator's error in the 1850 Census.

Have you other Newcombs come across my line?

Harold & Mildred Newcomb Family

A reader wrote the following:

I'm wondering if any of my family members are a part of this forum? My Grandparents were Harold & Mildred Newcomb of Stockton, California. My father was Harold Gene Newcomb of Las Vegas, Nevada. I have living uncles, Dwight and Douglas Newcomb, one living aunt, Elaine Kelling, and deceased aunts, Carol and Marilyn. Most of my family lived in the Stockton California area. If anyone has any connection, I would love to hear from you. My Grandma has left behind a hand written account of our genealogy that dates back to the 1800's. I'd love to meet others who are part of my heritage.

Thanks for taking time to read this!

I am in the line of Francis Newcomb (Peter, John, Benjamin, William, Arnold, John Rightmyre, Charles, Gus, William and then me "Mike"). I have a website www.newcombfamilytree.com. Would any one out there have any information on Arnold Newcomb of Schohaire County, New York or any of the decendents in our line?
