Meriller [“Rilla”] NEWSOM, born 06 AUG 1875 [in (probably Clapp’s Factory, Muscogee County) Georgia, died 17 AUG 1931 in Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia - never married] [Amelia NEWSOM, born 01 OCT 1875 Chattooga County, Georgia, to Henry & Amelia (PAGE) NEWSOM from Muscogee County, Georgia, per 1875 Georgia Birth Register; this birth does not appear in transcription of family Bible records. This couple are Henry & Permelia. Is daughter Meriller’s birth year wrong in the family Bible record? Or is the birthdate wrong and this child actually Meriller and not Amelia? Birth date on Meriller’s death certificate matches the family Bible record. - jml] Andrew B. NEWSOM, born 24 DEC 1881 [in (probably Clapp’s Factory, Muscogee County) Georgia], married 13 JUL 1909 to Vesta Inez LOPER. Children: Andrew B.

Henry M. & Permelia A. (PAGE) NEWSOM are buried in the Antioch Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Banning, Carroll County, Georgia, as is their granddaughter, Dora Elvader ADERHOLD. Their daughter Meriller NEWSOM is also buried there, according to her death certificate, but the grave is not marked. A. A. Marietta J. NEWSOM and Robert M. NEWSOM are likely buried in the Clapp’s Factory Cemetery in (now Columbus) Muscogee County, Georgia. John R. & C. Dorinda (NEWSOM) ADERHOLD are buried in the Johnson Cemetery (now on the Ft. Benning military reservation) in Chattahoochee County, Georgia. Further information regarding any of these families or their kin would be greatly appreciated, and I will be glad to share my records.
