Balsar Newman father of Margaret Newman

Contributed by John W. Grace



Balsar  Newman	"came from Germany"  per Vivian Burnett
		In addition to other lands Balsar owned in Carter Co., he purchased two adjoining farms at Charlotte Furnace (a/k/a Iron Hill). 
  		After his death, Balsar's daughter, Maggie, bought out the other heirs for the
                53+ acre farm. His son, William, bought out the other heirs for the adjoining 100+ acre. 
  		In 1885, when Balsar bought the property, he paid $50.00 down in cash and signed a promissory note for the remaining
             	$65.00 with his son, William, as co-signer. The farm Maggie purchased has continued to be passed down through her descendants. 
 		Seven generations of Balsar's descendants have now walked the hills of that farm. 	
 		Today it is the home of Ruby Davis Burnett (d/o Elbert and Dovie ErwinDavis pictured herein), widow of Willie Burnett, Maggie Newman's grandson.

     	|	   (Maggie and William never married and I can't by document prove that he was Poppy's father, but it is common knowledge in the community- if             you prefer to just list him as unknown that's fine.  Henry did not take the name of Burnett until after he was married.  His marriage certificate to Lucy lists the             groom as Henry Newman.  The change of last name at that time leads me to believe Lee actually adopted him and Boss.)*
