From North Carolina Estate Files, 1663-1968, at familysearch.org (as William 
Newmond)  

William Newman died intestate in Duplin County and his widow Mary was the 
administrator for his estate.  She submitted an inventory in 1773 but there's 
no date on it, not even which term of court it was submitted to. The document 
is stained and faded and difficult to read but as near as I can decipher, it 
lists the following:

Additional Comments:
William Newman's daughter Elizabeth married James Kelly. His son Edward married 
Sarah (?) and died during the Revolutionary War.  Edward and Sarah's oldest 
son, William, lived in Sampson County from its inception and many of his 
descendants continue to live there.  Their younger son, John Newman, moved to 
Pulaski County, Georgia in the late 1820's, and many of his descendants ended 
up in Wilcox County.
