S. P. NEWSON, farmer; P. O., Mt. Gilead; was born in Washington Co., Md., April 9, 1820, and lived there six years, when, with his parents, he came to Marion (now Morrow) Co., Ohio, and settled on and cleared the present place, on which he has lived ever since, it becoming his after the death of his parents — he Sept. 13, 1865, and she July 12, 1867. He married Miss Nancy R. Kingman Dec. 24, 1855. She was born in Delaware (now Morrow) Co. They had six children; five are living — William, Henry, George, Belle and Nellie. His parents, Joseph P. and Susannah (Snider) Newson, were natives of Washington Co., Md.; they married there, and came West as before stated. They had twelve children; five are living — Moriah, now Mrs. M. G. Webster, of Mt. Gilead; S. P., on the present place; Susan, now Mrs. Dennis Loren, of this county; Sarah, now Mrs. Dr. Charles Hahn, of Marion Co.; Elizabeth, now Mrs. Wesley Roberts, of Crawford Co. Mrs. Newson ’s parents, Joseph and Susannah (Wood) Kingman, were natives of Grand Isle Co., Vt., and Clinton Co., N. Y. They married in the latter county, and came West at a very early date. Of their eight children, four are living — Hannah, now Mrs. Robert Blakeley, of this county; Melissa, now Mrs. Robert Owens, of Madison Co., Ind.; Orman lives in this county, and Nancy R., now Mrs. S. P. Newson, also of this county. After the death of his first wife, he married Miss Sarah Herendeen, of Cardington, this county. They had three children; one is living — Binal T., of Cardington. The exact date of his settlement is in doubt, but his oldest son born here, died in Indiana in the winter of 1878, and was aged 60 years; hence, they were here prior to 1818.
