It was Robert J. Newell. I assume the J stood for James. Margaret
was born in 1899 and her husband was born in 1888. We know our Robert
was born in Dalmellington on October 12 1864 and he died April 3,
1935. I have those dates from my mother.
Mary Clark remarried after
Robert died, a Mr. Good and she is buried in the Union Highland
Cemetary under the name Mary Good. She died in 1942. My grandmother,
Margaret, did not speak to her for quite a while after that.
The
youngest daughter, Sylvia, of Robert and Mary married Clyde Knisley
and they lived in Florence until they died. My grandmother and
grandmother also moved to Florence when my mother and aunt were in
high school. I am pretty sure it is the same family, there are two
many coincidences in names and dates. We also know that Robert's
family came from Ireland and went to Scotland, he was teased by my
mother and aunt about the fact he considered himself a Scot, but was
of Irish descent. According to our records he came to the US in 1885
and Mary came in 1887.
I have the birth dates of all of Robert's
children, if you want them.
