One thought on “Hello world!”

  1. Hello…I didnt see a place to leave a NEW comment so I soft of hijacked this one. I am researching Dr. Allen Newsom of the Jackson Hill area. He was a Dr., a merchant, a post master, and possibly a constable or sheriff in the area. He was born about 1807 and died in Davidson County in 1881. I have his probate file. It lists his heirs. I am looking to find who his parents were or where he came from (Old Rowan or somewhere else). He also had an ongoing legal battle with a former slave named Sallie Williams over her son being indentured to Dr. Newsom after the Civil War. For being wealthy they sure didn’t leave a lot of information behind from pre civil war time. His son Allen Howell Newsom married a daughter of Tobias Kesler of Salisbury. One of the most prominent men in the area. My great-grandmother and grandfather told me stories of his children. Does anyone there know of this family?
