Information from "Known Burials of Morehouse Parish," shows Samuel Newman to be buried at Douglas Cemetery and was 59 years old. I do not know what the age was based on.

"Samuel Newman and Anna Lovett were married two times in Warren County, Georgia: 'Samuel Newman married Anna Lovett March 18, 1795.' and 'Samuel Newman married Anna Lovett October 27, 1799.' Your narrator agrees with Miss Margaret K. Newman, in commenting on these two marriage records: 'This seems likely to be an error in the recording and the date of 1795 is the more logical one.'
"The children born to Samuel Newman and Anna Lovett, as listed in the Probate file for the wife in 1835, are as follows: Sons: Jonathan Newman, born August 13, 1796; Lemuel Newman, born January 19, 1799; Lovett Newman, born about 1801; Samuel Newman, born December 25, 1812; Henry Newman, born about 1815; Daughters: Emily Newman, probably born about 1797; Amanda Newman, probably born about 1805; Levina Newman, probably born about 1808; Oratia Newman, born 1814. There were possibly other children.
"Samuel Newman and his wife Anna Lovett Newman were both members of the Long Creek Baptist Church of which Samuel Newman, Sr. was a Charter Member. Anna joined the church July 22, 1804 and Samuel July 31, 1804 (LONG CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH MINUTE BOOK). The records of the Long Creek Baptist Church tell us that on March 22, 1806 Brother Castleberry (not otherwise identified) laid a charge against Brother Samuel Newman for perjury - never further explained. The Congregation took up the charge and, after deliberation, "agreed that he should be excommunicated." In the general area that the Newman families lived in Warren County, there was the Union Baptist Church and we find the following items on dates listed. 'July 29, 1809: William Newman - Deceased, Hannah Newman - Deceased, Lemuel Newman - Dismissed. September 26, 1812: Samuel Newman - Dismissed, Elizabeth Newman (never identified) - Dismissed (UNION BAPTIST CHURCH MINUTE BOOK, Baptist Historical Society, Mercer University, THE GEORGIA GENEALOGIST, Fall 1970, page 6). Thus it would appear that Samuel joined the Union Baptist Church when he was "excommunicated" from the Long Creek Baptist Church. We have no idea what he was dismissed for in 1812. But his wife apparently remained a member of the Long Creek Baptist Church not, however, without incident. Under the date of November 21, 1812, we find: 'Christopher Chambless and John Harrison informed the Church of a difficulty (never explained) with Sister Anne Newman. They are instructed to see her and endeavor to get it removed and to report to the next conference.' and then the day after Christmas, 1812, we find the entry, ' Brother Christopher Chambless reported the matter settled with Ann Newman.'
"In 1803-04, when the list for the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery was compiled, two families with the name Samuel Newman were listed in Georgia - both in Warren County. The first were the orphans of Samuel Newman and the second Samuel Newman who was married and had minor children. The orphans drew a blank. This second Samuel had two draws, drew one blank and one prize - lot number 183, First District of Wilkinson County. The records of Wilkinson County were destroyed so no further information is forthcoming on that score. (THE GEORGIA LAND LOTTERY PAPERS, 1805, by Robert Scott Davis, page 653.)
"Due to the Scarcity of records, the only Deed Record pertaining to Samuel that could be located was a land transaction of March 20, 1803 when Samuel Newman purchased from Richard Slaughter one hundred acres on Long Creek for $200.00; there is no record of Samuel selling the land. (Deed Book B (1801-1808), Warren County, Georgia, pages 190-191.
"On September 29, 1814, Samuel Newman was named as co-executor of the estate of Nathan Castleberry, deceased. One of the witnesses to the will was Richard Lovett, father of Anna Lovett. The will of Nathan Castleberry was probated November 14, 1814. (Will Book, 1810-1819, Warren County, Georgia, page 29. THE GEORGIA GENEALOGIST, October 1967, page 1752.) A close observation of the various records in Warren County prior to 1818 indicates that the Castleberry's, Lovetts and Newmans had a great deal of interaction with each other.
"On October 24, 1818, Mary Ann Newman was dismissed by letter from the Long Creek Baptist Church along with Solomon Castleberry and his wife Rebecca Lovett Castleberry. Solomon married Rebecca June 14, 1806 in Warren County, Georgia." (THE LONG TREK OF THE NEWMAN FAMILY, 1683 - 1980, by Samuel William Newman, pages 36 - 38.)
"The Newman family began another westward move in 1818. The first stop for the caravan was Jefferson County, Mississippi, where they remained until late 1823. In early 1824 the Newmans moved to Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, and lived there until 1827. All of the Newman's except Lovett Newman moved to Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. All of this family group settled around the Bayou Bartholomew now the outskirts of Bastrop, Louisiana. On the farm of Samuel Newman was built the Bayou Bartholomew Baptist Church of which the older son, Jonathan was pastor until 1848 when most of the congregation moved to the eastern end of Monroe, Louisiana." (From Freestone Frontiers, Vol 4, #2, found in the back of Freestone County Cemetery Records and Stories, Vol XI.)
1820 Jefferson County, Mississippi census: Samuel NEWMAN; 2 males under 10 (Samuel and Henry NEWMAN); 1 male 10 to 16 (Not known, probably died young); 1 male over 45 (Samuel NEWMAN); 2 females under 10 (Oratia and Amanda NEWMAN); 1 female 10 to 16 (Levina NEWMAN); 1 female over 45 (Mary Ann NEWMAN).
