[Scott County]   [Stamping Ground Precinct]

WILLIAM NEWMAN, farmer, P. O. Stamping Ground; John, the father of this
gentleman, was born in Maryland, in 1762 and emigrated to Fayette County
in about the year 1783; at that time there were only two small cabins where
the city of Lexington now stands.  In 1785 he removed to Scott County, and
settled at the Blue Springs, where he remained only about one year, when
he removed to Stamping Ground Precinct and settled on McConnel's Run; he
being among the first settlers of that Precinct.  Soon after he settled in
Stamping Ground Precinct, he, together with Thomas Herndon, built a fort
at McConnel's Run, which was afterward known as Herndon's Station.  He
died in 1822.  Peggy, his wife, and mother of our subject was born in
Culpepper [sic] County, Va., in 1765, and with her parents emigrated to
Scott County in about the year 1786.  Of the seven children born to John
and Peggy (Smith) Newman, William was the youngest child.  He was born in
Scott County, April 5, 1811, and in 1832 was married.  His wife has now
been dead several years.  In 1877 he married a second time, Sally Dixon,
who was born in Fayette County, Feb. 15, 1838.  John Dixon, her father,
was born in Fayette County in 1812, and is now residing in Scott County.
Sally (Wallace) Dixon, her mother, was born in Fayette County in 1809,
and died in 1864.  Mr. Newman has always during his life followed the
occupation of farming, and has by his studied economy and business habits
succeeded in gathering together a farm of 170 acres.  Himself and wife
are members of the Baptist Church.  They are the parents of two children,
one of whom is now living, Cora.  In politics he was formerly a Whig, but
now unites with the Democrat party.
