Corrections to Richard Newport, His Book
p. 53 Add to the list of children of Ezekiel and Rebecca Newport:
Priscilla Newport, who married William H. "Hamilton" Williams
Lucinda Newport, who married Phelix (Felix) Begley
p. 67 This website has moved. The new address is:
http://members.aol.com/Folkmists/index5.html
p. 68 Someone e-mailed me that they believe this to be the grave of Joseph C. Newport,
son of Ezekiel and Rebecca Newport. Apparently, Joseph was a captain of the Scott County Home Guard
during the Civil War. Capt. John Newport was probably buried in Lee County, Virginia where he died.
p. 74 I transposed the Byrd brothers. It should read: Cassie Newport, married to Hoyle Byrd.
Hattie Newport, who married Hugh Byrd, the brother of Hoyle.
I got it right in the Newport section of Descendant Story, Pages 7 & 8, at the end of the book.
Under descendants of Ralph Seabolt and Dorothy Mabel Newport, Randel Dean BRADSHAW-001334
has a son #22 named Damion BRADSHAW. The name Danderline BRADSHAW is incorrect on Page 6 of
Descendant Story at the back of the book.
p. 98 Subtitle under "The Conners" should read: When King Richard II knighted the four kings of Ireland, one was O'Connor and another was MacMurrough.
p. 139 Under "The Colonial Worsham Family" first paragraph should read:
. . . Martha Eppes was married to John Wayles. . . . President Jefferson's Uncle, Field Jefferson,
was married to another Worsham descendant, Mary Frances Robertson, daughter of
Rev. George Robertson and Mary Worsham.
Please let me know of any other verifiable corrections. Thanks!!
