Loa died in 1932 and Raymond C Newman Sr died in 1979 in Baldwin County and was buried in Miami County Ohio.

According to my lone surviving uncle Edgar Newman of Sarasota,Florida the Newmans were originally from Germany and moved to England before migrating to the USA. They were Quakers and farmers.

I've reached a dead end with Thomas Newman as to where he was born or anything about his wife Sarah Paine. The only thing I know of Nathaniel Newman is he was living in Providence(Smithfield)and moved to Coventry,Rhode Island. He was buried in Providence.
