Notes for W
ILLIAM JASPER NEWELL:
      Written "Wm. J." 6 AL in 1850.
      William J. is a mystery. The only absolute identification of him as the son of James and Sarah is the 1850 Tuscaloosa Co. census, bc1844, and living with his parents. There are several records that have not been absolutely tied to this William. In 1870, there is a J. William, age 23 and a William J., age 20, working on the farm and living with James and Sarah. The J. William may be William Jasper. But in 1870 there is also a William J., age 22 on the Sanford Co., AL census at Big Pond Pct #2, line #51. Matthew is #61 on this same census. Several of James and Sarah's sons bought lands adjacent to Matthew in Sanford/Lamar Co. in the early 1850s, including James G. and John.
      William enlisted in the Civil War in Tuscaloosa Co. in 1863. According to his tombstone inscription, he served in Co I, Pattersons Rgt, CSA. (A military pension located in the MS State Archives identifies a W. J. Newell as being in Co A, 30th Reg., Georgia Vol. Infantry, Army of Tennessee, CSA, Butts Co., GA, "Butts Invincibles." This company became Co I upon reorganization in 1862. -- S. Royal). It isn't known for sure if this W. J. Newell in the GA unit is the same as William Jasper. ( Research indicates that Col. Josiah Patterson was the commander of the 5th Ala Cav Rgt and this could have been William's unit. -Jim N). This unit also recruited from Tuscaloosa Co.
      Written "J. William" 23 AL in 1870 a farm worker. The "J" appears to have been added in front of the name "William" after the enumerator listed him. This is probably William Jasper although there is no way to prove it. The age is about three years off.
      William was not listed with the family in 1880 and hasn't been found yet. Susan and the children were living in her parents' household.
      Written "W. J." 66 AL NC NC in 1900 a farmer. Dob stated as Apr 1844.
      Written "William J." 67 AL NC NC in 1910 a farmer.
      Written "William J." 77 AL NC NC in 1920 living in James A. Gray household and labeled "father-in-law.".
      Appears to be written "Bill" 86 MS MS MS in 1930 -- transcribed "Ben" and living in Jim Gray household labeled "father-in-law."
