Newberry�s
in Orange County - New York
John
Newberry and his brother Eddy Newberry moved from the home of
their parents in Duchess Co. and took
up land in Orange County between Bellvale and Warwick around Wickham
Pond. The land was purchased from
Thomas Welling. See next page for more details.
When the Newberry�s first
entered Orange County, John�s brother Eddy stayed in Orange county
long enough to
win the heart of Ruth Burt. Ruth Burt was also the granddaughter of
James Benedict. They returned after
their marriage to Franklin, Duchess County to live in the same town as
the Elder John Newberry. Through
many name,
county and boundary changes the area ultimately became Patterson,
Putnam Co., N.Y. Eddy Newberry and Ruth Burt
Newberry were buried in Patterson N.Y. Recent information seems to
indicate that their graves were moved
to Ulster Co.
Ruth (Burt) Newberry was also one of the first signers of the
First Baptist Church in Patterson. All the New York
people appear in these places in the United States Census of New York
for 1790. Elder John
Newberry died in
Franklin in 1808.
Eddy and Ruth Burt
Newberry's children were - Joel, Sally, Mary, Alonzo, Bolivai (sic?),Esther and James.
There
are records that indicate that Eddy refused service in the
Revolutionary War, as did his brother John Newberry.
There
is more information on this in papers written by Colonel Hathorn
to governor Clinton regarding the People of Warwick
and their reticence of fighting in the conflict. For more info click

By
the 1840's all the Newberry's had either died, moved or married into
other families.
