McComas/ Newcomb
Hello all,
I've been trying to trace my g. Grandfather, John W. Newcomb, born 1833-1836, supposedly in Platte County Missouri.
In some way my Newcomb family and the McComas family are tied to each other.
My g. Grandfather came to Texas & joined the Civil War in Palo Pinto County. I can't get back beyond that.
His father's name may of been Will. He had one brother named Sam, a brother named Alex, and a sister named Minnie who married a Johnson. His father *was thought to be a Frenchman*, & his Mother *Cherokee*.
I wish I could find who he was, where he came from, about his parents & sibblings, and if I have any living Newcomb/Johnson relative.
My g. Grandfather married Catherine McCarty in 1868. Her father was Thomas McCarty, and her Mother was Sarah Jane LeFors.
I have my fingers crossed, that perhaps some of the McComas family has some info./ knowledge about my Newcomb family.
Thanks,
Martha.
