HENRY G. NEWMAN, Muhlenburgh County, was born May 28, 1830, on the farm 
where he now resides.  He is the third of eight children born to Isaac 
and Nancy (Unsell) Newman, natives of Virginia and Muhlenburgh County, Ky., 
respectively of English and Dutch descent.  The father was first married to 
Rachel Rhodes; she was a daughter of Daniel Rhodes.  Ten children were born 
by this first marriage, making in all eighteen children, seventeen of whom 
were reared.  Isaac Newman was a son of Thomas Newman, who was born in 
England, and died in Nelson County, Ky.  Isaac Newman came to Muhlenburgh
County in 1797, and entered several thousand acres of land, owned several 
slaves, and was justice for many years.  Henry G. Newman was reared on the 
farm, and lived with his parents until the age of twenty-three, when he 
married Margaret A. Wood, March 24, 1853.  She is the daughter of Thomas 
and Mary (Williams) Wood, who were reared in Butler County, and were among 
the first settlers.  To Mr. and Mrs. Newman were born five children: Thomas 
A. (deceased), Isaac R.; May E. (House), James W. (deceased), and Alexander 
E.  Mr. and Mrs. Newman are members of the Methodist Episcopal and Baptist 
Churches, respectively.  Mr. Newman was a constable and justice one term
