Nancy Elizabeth Jane Newman age 44 was the daughter of Jared Campbell Newman and Mary (Polly) Bryan.  Polly Bryan was the daughter of my fourth great grandparents Thomas C. Bryan Sr. and Nancy Cate.  As such, Polly was the sister of my third great grandfather Peter H. Bryan.

I have not been able to identify who this particular Hugh Henry was.  Henry was a prominent surname in Jefferson County and Sevier County, and Major Hugh Henry was one of the founders of the family in the area.  Hugh and Nancy moved from Jefferson County to McMinn County between 1860 and 1870, and from McMinn County to Polk County between 1870 and 1880.
