These dates come from the Jonathan Newberry bible owned by Sherman Boivin.  The Newberry data from 1710-1900 is taken from various
records.  Family search records were proved against records from the Orange County Genealogical Society written by Helen Roe Predmore.
Duchess Co. Genealogical Society.  Not all info is verified through first sources where it has come from the ancestral file  The Predmore
files were the only sources available for John Newberry, but they are considered fairly accurate.

John Newberry born 1746 in N.Y.
The following information is from various source, all of which are noted.  The only family that has been personally proven by my research
is that of John Newberry II and  James Newberry his son. 

Ü John Newberry (II )  of Orange County, N.Y. b. 1746  in Connecticut or Duchess Co. N.Y. d. Bellevale, N.Y.
         Jan. 4, 1818  son of John Newberry and Zerviah Burch Married: Jemima Benedict  Sunday June 31, 1770 presumably
         by her father, Elder James Benedict at Warwick, N.Y. She was b. Ridgefield , Conn. July 25, 1749 to James Benedict and
         Mary Blackman.
 Jemima died in. Herrick , PA , June 1, 1843. She sold her property in Warwick , and moved with her youngest
         daughter and familyAsenath and Daniel Durand.

          Jemima’s father James Benedict established the first Baptist parish west of the Hudson River in 1762.  The Church was called the
          Old School Baptist Church.  All the children listed below were born in Warwick , N.Y.

          There is one record that stated that Jemima was actually born in Romulus , Seneca , N.Y. This is a possibility, but the only written
          record is in the Benedict’s of America , and is not verifiable via other sources.  There was a Benedict Bible at one time, that has
          disappeared
over the centuries, and was known to have been owned by Fannie Benedict, and later by Edith Pusey Durand.

          If someone should read this and knows where the Bible is at this time, I would appreciate hearing from you.

All the above newberry siblings were all born in Warwick , N.Y.    The sources for the above are primarily from the

Ü James Newberry 
b. May 29, 1791 Warwick, Orange Co. N.Y.  d. July 10 or 11, 1880 Wheelers Grove, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa .[2] son of John Newberry
and Jemima Benedict. 

Marriage history overview: James was a polygamist after the death of his first wife Mary Smith.  He married Nancy Brown and apparently
divorced her or they went their separate ways. It is possible James was married secretly to Nancy as early as 1838. Nancy went with her
brother Capt. James Brown to Utah in 1851.

James married two other women.  Elizabeth Haskins and  Sybil Pulsipher.  He lived exclusively with Elizabeth Haskins in Kanesville.  When
she died James moved to Mills Co. where he is found living with Sybil Pulsipher.  When Sybil died in 1870, James was in his 80’s, but it was
rumored that he married one last time to a young Native American woman. She is mentioned in a biography written by one of James’
sons.  In August of 2004, Donna Mae Powell discovered her name while researching in Pottawattamie County Iowa when she found an old
deed where James sold a parcel of land, and his current wife Amanda signed away her dower rights on the piece of property.
Her surname
and family are still unknown.

Religion overview:  James was brought up as a Baptist.  His grandfather was a pastor for the Old School Baptist Church , in Warwick ,
N.Y.
he was the first pastor west of the  Hudson River in 1762.

James became a Mormon in 1831.  He was baptized by Edson Fuller, in Brownhelm , OH.  He first a Priest in the church, and later became
a High Priest and then a Seventy.  His first wife Mary died in 1842 and he remarried Nancy Brown in 1843. In 1845 before leaving Nauvoo he
married Elizabeth Haskins and took his endowments.

Between 1848 and 1851 he became disenchanted by the leadership of the church and refused to move to Utah.  Something happened to
change his mind after 1848, because James was known to have resided at Winter Quarters with those who planned to go to Utah.  It was
there that James married Sybil Pulsipher.  He was married by Brigham Young and the marriage was witnessed by Parley Pratt. Nancy Brown
 moved to Utah by 1851, leaving her husband behind.
Her brother was a leader of the Danites both in the Midwest and when he arrived in
Utah
.  Life between  1843 and 1848 found James as a man with plural wives.  Interestingly, Sybil Pulsipher left her first husband Roswell
Prindle while he was away from home, and told her step-sons that she was heading to California .  Perhaps she was motivated to go there
by herself, but when she reached winter quarters she found and married James Newbery, with whom she spent the remainder of her life.

Those people who refused to move to Utah were dropped from Church rolls.  It is thought he joined Alpheus Cutler who was
excommunicated from the church in 1851.  Cutler lead a schismatic group of Mormons called the Cutlerites.  James later joined with the
RLDS
  Church
and was re-baptized by Charles Derry in Aug. 4, 1861.  He was ordained a high priest by Joseph Smith (son of the original
prophet) and W.W. Blair April 6, 1863.

By 1853, He put aside polygamy when he moved to Wheelers  Grove, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa and he split with the LDS church faction
lead by Brigham Young

His family ties to the general authorities are impressive.  His son Abraham Newberry married Eliza Ann Duty, who was a second cousin to
Joseph Smith.  James’ marriages were impressive in their importance to leaders in the Church. After the death of his first wife Mary Smith
Newberry, he married two ladies who were from families of the earliest pioneers in Independence , Missouri .  The Haskins family and the
Pulsipher family were to give him Elizabeth Haskins and Sybil Pulsipher.  Sybil’s brother was a general authority in the Church under both
Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

His Marriages:
æ  (I) Mary Smith  Aug. 24, 1811 Warwick, Orange Co., N.Y. b. June 11, 1792 died Nov. 20, 1842  in Nauvoo , Illinois of black canker and
is buried in the old Mormon Cemetery there.Mary is the daughter of samuel smith  and Jane Stephens Smith  of Warwick , N.Y.

Mary Smith was sealed to James Newberry by proxy on Feb. 7, 1846. 6 p.m. solemnized by George A. Smith, witnessed by J.W. Fleming and
Zebedee Coltrin [3]

                      January 30th 1846.  Sealed  February of 1846. Family went to Utah in 1848. Hannah was baptized September 30, 1840

      George Morris was from Durkenfield , England . He had twelve children with Hannah see family page. George married
                      Jane Higginbotham before he left England , but she died there along with their infant daughter. Hannah was his second
                      wife. George was a polygamist.

                                 she arrived in Salt Lake. She died the day of their marriage. 
                           (4)  harriet newberry George was also married/sealed to Harriet Newberry,
                                 Hannah's sister  (see next #7 below ). This marriage was performed after Harriet's death as a posthumous
                                 marriage. She had asked to marry George before he and Hannah left Iowa , but she was discouraged by other
                                 family members and married Seth Palmer shortly after Hannah and George went to Utah.  She died in 1849.
                           (5)  Annie Matthews bore him many children, six of them died before adulthood. George's marriage to Annie Matthews
                                  occurred when Hannah was pregnant with her 12th child, Ephraim. George went to live with Annie exclusively for eleven
                                  years until the U.S. Government intervened in polygamy.  He was forced into bachelorhood after that.

              7.  HARRIET NEWBERRY b. Nov 24, 1825  Brownhelm, Lorain, Ohio,  d. July 27, 1849 in Montrose, Iowa  m. Seth Palmer 
                  
March 8, 1847 b. Feb. 22, 1824 in Medina Co. Ohio - son of Ambrose Palmer an Lettice Hawkins.  Harriet was Seth's
                   second wife by whom he had two children, names unknown. They were married by Johnston Meek who was a Justice of the
                   Peace.

                           Seth’s other spouses were:
                          (1) Daphne Roberts who died in 1844.
                          (3) Sylvia Goldsmith in Harrison Co., IA.
                                   
Children: Edmund A., and Valens A. Landowner in Little Sioux Township, Harrison Co. IA. 

                          Sylvia is buried at Little Sioux, Ia., Seth Palmer is buried at Greenwood , South Dakota in an unmarked grave
.
                  
Seth settled in Little Sioux, IA with about three hundred acres, more or less,until 1900. He sold his land and moved to
                         Charles Mix Co., S. Dakota. with his sons, Edmond and Valens. I think the reason they moved was for the homesteading
                         factor. Edmond and Seth remained in Charles Mix and both died there and are buried at (Seth) Greenwood and Edmond
                          is buried at Wagner.  Valens moved to Cooper, S. Dakota. and ended up at Sturgis. He also had land in the Sturgis area.
                          He is buried at Sturgis, along with his wife, Eva, and several of his children.

   Ambrose Palmer was an important figure in the LDS Church in Kirtland , Ohio.  He was a member of the council of High
                         Priests & Elders of the Church of the Latter Day Saints in 1835.  At his death, Lettice married Samuel Bent, who also was
                         a member of the council of High Priests.

                          Hotel.
                         
                                   Children:
Martha A. Wixon (Lee), Sarah A. Wixon (I suspect this may be a child of Lee as well), Mary F. Wixon, Almon Wixon,
                                   Helen Jane Wixon, John Wixon (he is buried on the old Franklin House property), William H.Wixon


                          (3) Horace Mansur m. January 2, 1872, d. Oct 19, 1900. Mansur was Electa Newberry's widower neighbor. When Electa
                          married Horace Mansur, they blended their families.[7]
                        
                         History of George John Wixon:  George John Wixon was previously married to

                          (1) Mehitable Chase  who was born June 10 1815 and was married to Wixon  in Harwich, Barnstable Co., MA on
                          August 11, 1832. A child was born to them in 1832. 

                         
(2) sarah kelley b. June 20 1806 m. Dec. 26, 1833 in Harwich, Barnstable  Co. He left Sarah to follow the Mormons.
                         
                         (3)  Electa Louisa Newberry m. Wixon in 1847 on the plains.
                              

                          John Wixon left California , returned to Mass. around 1860 and died there  May 1863 of diabetes at the home of Sarah
                          after his divorce  from Electa  Newberry.[6] He was a sea captain and is buried in Dennis, Barnstable  Co., Mass. Wixon
                          was descended from Native American ancestors from Cape Cod.  His modern descendants are presently distinguished
                          members of the Wampanoag tribe, which was associated with the great chief Massasoit.
The Chases of Massachusetts
                          are also known to be from Native American ancestors. Wixon missed his home so much, when he was in California, that
                          he went back to Massachusetts and removed and old building to bring west.  He stripped it down from the foundation
                          piece by piece and loaded it on a ship, then sailed it around Cape Horn to San Francisco and freighted it in from the
                          coast to serve as a hotel in Placer Co. during the gold rush days.

                m. Edward O. Beebe  29 June 1849  b. Mar. 4, 1827, Ohio.  d. Oct. 18, 1869 Lamoni , Iowa -  son of Calvin Beebe.
                Esther and Edward were successful fruit farmers in El Dorado Co.   He was also a wagon maker.  He died while on a trip back to
                Iowa
to settle the estate of his father.  Little more is known about the family.
              
                          Children:  James b. Iowa , Julia b. Iowa , Mary b. Utah , Emma b. California, Sarah, Eda, Flora, Edward, Philip. 
                         
                          July 28, 2006, it has been determined that the Beebe family was likely of Native American descent.  Don Kelly has
                         shared with me the stories that his grandmothers and great grandmothers shared with him about the Indians. They
                         passed down many share stories of legend and myth.  As of today the hunt is on to figure out what tribe they belonged
                         to.  It is notable that their history is similar to the Newberry history, and that they were some of the first to join the
                         LDS Church and embark upon the mission to Missouri in 1832. Don has a website for the stories that his grandmothers
                         related to him as a child.  The native people always pass their history down orally, and continue to do so to this day.
                         see https://sites.rootsweb.com/~iadesmoi/Personal/Indians/storyindex.htm

                          Don wrote the following to me:

                        "I had about 60 years of going over her stories and cross checking for similar references quite removed from Iowa.
 
                          For one thing the Indians seem to have known what went on far to the east.....Indian attacks, British forts in the
                          Ohio Valley, how white people came in, what their abodes were like (not teepes for sure), and how those Indians
                         could be associated with the five tribe Iroquois alliance, and how those Indians of the great lakes could be related
                         to the Cherokees of TN, VA and GA. 
                   The Indian lore I found quite compelling. I am happy I had the desire so young to write down what my grandmas
                         told to me.
Ggrandma Williamson born about 1858 personally knew soldiers who fought at the Little Bighorn.
                         History tended to suggest they were all killed in the fight, but evidently untrue. 
                          I am pleased you enjoyed grandma's stories.....as I did.
                         
                   I think you will like my grandma's Indian stories. Ggrandma Beebe was the first to tell me these stories.
                         Grandma Beebe Pruitt told the same stories with slight twists.

Ü Continuation of Wives of James Newberry  b. May 29, 1791

æ  (II) Nancy Brown b. May 29, 1792 Lick Creek, Rowan Co., South Carolina  d. Dec.24. 1770   Ogden , Utah.
Nancy is the daughter of James Brown and Mary "Polly" Williams. James divorced or separated from Nancy

about 1853.
Married: October 3, 1843, in Nauvoo[8] .  A civil marriage is recorded.[9]  No children known Nancy took her Endowments
Jan. 30, 1846, it appears that at that time she was using her maiden name. 

She went to Ogden , Utah with her brother Capt. James Brown in 1851 and remarried late in life to William Critchlow. [10]

It is thought that a division in their religious beliefs may have caused their split.  James didn’t approve of Brigham Young as leader
of the faith.


æ  (III) Elizabeth Haskins b. March 9th 1815 Loch, Cayuga Co. New York d. February 28, 1855, Kanesville, Pottawattamie Co., IA.

æ  (IV) Sybil Pulsipher  b. March 29, 1793 Rockingham, Windham , Vermont d. January 6, 1870, Indian Creek, Mills Co., IA. [15]
Daughter of John Pulsipher and Elizabeth Dutton Pulsipher.
Sybil was married

            (1)  Roswell Prindle  m. 17 Mar 1845 in Sagamon Co., Illinois  He was previously married to Lydia Judd who died in
                      who died in 1844 in Lee Co. Iowa.  They had four sons. 16] Prindle died in 1859.  Prindle was James Newberry's neighbor
                      in the Far West days prior to 1838 in Caldwell Co. Mo. before he married Sybil.  Prindle was also close to the
                      Pulsipher and Roundy families in Sapfford, Onondaga Co., N.Y.  They were Free Will Baptists.[17]

           (2James Newberry  m. April 22, 1848 in Winter Quarters Nebraska. Officiated by: Pres. Brigham Young in Recorder's
                      Office in Winter Quarters.  Witness:  Orson Pratt, Wilford Woodruff.


It is assumed Sybil was married even before her marriage to Newberry or Prindle, but we haven’t so far discovered to whom this
might have been. She was in her 50's when she married James Newberry.  They did not live in the same house, but were always in
the same neighborhood. After the death of Elizabeth Haskins, Sybil Pulsipher moved in and took up the duties of raising Elizabeth’s
children.[18] She lived with him until she died January 6, 1870.
 
Sybil was sister of  Zerah Pulsipher  a prominent Mormon leader who was member of  First Council of Seventy 1838-62  under
Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.  James was also member of the Council of Seventies.  Zerah Pulsipher and his family were also
pioneers in Independence , Jackson Co. Missouri when Joseph Smith declared it to be the new " Zion" or Center Place.

Also Elizabeth Haskins’ family were part of the first contingent of Saints to go to Independence in 1833.

Saints’ Herald Obituaries, February 1871, p. 96

æ  (V) Amanda unknown woman said to be a Native American girl of 16.  She moved to Harrison Co. sometime before or after the
death of James in 1880.[19]  She signed away her dower rights to a piece of land owned by James in Grove Township, Pottawattamie Co.
Iowa
when part of it was sold (43 acres) September 16, 1873. 

-End listing of known  wives for James Newberry

James Newberry’s Step son by unknown parents
* Secratus Newberry (Williams) was James' stepson or adopted son. b. March 24th 1845. Desmoine Township, Lee Co., Iowa.
d. August 15, 1882 in Pottawattamie Co. Secratus lived with James and  Elizabeth and later Sybil. He married Esther (Stiddam)
 ( Bratton, Denton ) Williams  on Nov. 3rd 1878 and they were married by Levi Graybill.

         
Children: Anna and David.

Secratus died sometime before 1900. There may have been more children. It is unknown who Secratus’ parents were for certain.
However Elizabeth Haskins may have been his mother with another man, who is unknown. Secratus changed his name to Williams
in later life so we assume he knew who his real father was.

Died: at Indian Creek, Mills County , Iowa , January 6, 1870, Sr. Sybil Newberry wife
of James Newbery, aged 77 years, 10 months and 23 days. She was among the first to embrace the gospel in the old organization;
was with the saints in Caldwell County , Missouri , when they were persecuted. And joined the Reorganization on August 4th 1861. 
She lived a devoted life before God.  She died a very calm and easy death, and without a struggle.

to Prindle say that she took the initiative to leave Prindle with the intentions of going to California. She never made it, and married
James Newberry instead. Prindle possibly had Huntington’s disease.
