Son of Lewis "Louis" James Newland/Newlin, and Sarah Lavinia (Jones).

(Also Known As): William Rease Newland.

(Noted): The birth date (April 2nd) and birth year (1861) on William's Tombstone are wrong, because, under the Frederick County Virginia Birth Records, it stated he was born on April 25th, 1859, in Preston Co., Virginia. So someone must have given the wrong dates to the funeral home.
(Also Noted): Preston County was NOT in Frederick Co., Va., but rather in Kingwood, Preston Co., West Virginia.
