Tobias McNew
I am looking for information on Tobias McNew, b. in Virginia around 1840 and listed on the Rusk County, TX, Census in 1870.There are actually two men named Tobias McNew listed in Precinct 4, Rusk County, in 1870.One is 28 years old and the other is 31.Both are farmers, single, and born in Virginia.One is listed with the Haywood Jones family (565) and the other with the Josephine Clark family (363).
Tobias McNew of Washington County, VA, was the brother of my husband's great-great grandmother.His brother, George Washington McNew, is listed in the 1970 Census for Rusk County, TX, too.But Tobias was said to have died in battle in 1861.I am wondering if there is a connection.
