Notes
Taken from the book: THE NEW GENEOLOGY

John Foster New was born in England, and Buried in Gilboa cemetery, about two miles south of Cleveland Ind.

John and Sarah raised a family of five boys and five girls in VA. or in Stokes Co. N. C. They resided in Stokes Co. until about 1812, then moved to Warren Co. Ky. They resided there until about 1820, then moved to Wayne Co. Ind. He apparently lived in Hancock Co. Ind. about 13 years until his death. John had brothers, George Leonard and Thomas C. New, who were in the revolutionary was, George L. was killed at the battle of Brandywine, and reports have it that they were ath the surrender of Cornwallis.

Sarah Elizabeth Wright had one brother Josiah Wright, and one sister Mary Wright, who married Issac Stevens.

John Foster New was a ship carpenter by trade, he built a writing table of wild cherry wood, with such matching, that there was no way to tell where the joints were.

Thsi table was of regular height and about 30 in. in diameter top, it was on a single support with four feet extending out at the base, it had one drawer. When it came time to give it to some person, it was so difficult that one of the descendants made an exact duplication so that there were eight tables which no one could tell the origional. I have seen on these tables, and it was beautiful. It was in the posession of Susan New, Stevens, in Frankfort Ky. In 1964
