      Passengers for Virginia
          

      We are again anabled to lay before our readers a list of early emigrants to Virginia. It has just been recieved from our correspondent in London, H. G. Somberby, Esq., but the precise locality off the original record, he does not advise us.It is probally from the same source as that we gave in the last Register; (pages 112 and 113) namely, the records "in the custody of the Master of the rolls.
      These passengers, though they shipped to go to Virginia, it is quite probable that intended to come to New England, It might have been difficult for some of them to have obtained permission to come heae, while no objection might be made or there going to Virginia. Were we to enter into an examination of the list we doubt not we could show pretty conclusively that a large number of the persons names in it were not long after found in New England. At present we can only draw attention to the following names: -- Arthur Peach, was here in 1637 and in the war aginst the Pequots. And though he turned out to be a wretch, committed murder and was executed in 1638, Winshiip says he was a young man of a good family." There was a Thomas Arnold at Watertown, 1640, John Northy, Marblehead, 1648; Thomas Hall, Cambridge, 1648. Thomas Bulkely, Concord, 1638; Rowley, 1643. This is a mere glince at a few of the names, and we do not pretend that they are the same individuals as those represented on our list. Some we think are, and others may prove to be so. --Ed.

      15th May 1635. These under written names are to Virginia: imbarqued in the Plaine Joan, Richard Buckman Mr. the pties having brought attestation of their conformitie of the orders & disipline of the church of England.

    Notes 
    • Thomas Newman was born in England in about 1620. He immigrated to America in 1635 and settled in Virginia. He married Elizabeth Burdett in about 1647. They had three children. Thomas died in 1700 in Richmond County, Virginia. Descendants and relatives lived in Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia and elsewhere.

      The family name Newman is of the same origin as that of Newcome--"Stranger newly arrived." It was originally spelled nieuwemann; Latinized, Novu Homo. (see Patonymica Britannica, By Mary Anthony Lower, Page 237.) The original spelling would seem to indicate an Anglo-Saxon origin.
      Among the members of the family who came to virginia and left their impression upon the early history of the colony were Robert, William, John Jr., and Thomas Newman, They were doubtless, relatives of John Newman, grocer, a member of the London Virginia Company in 1609, and in all probability John Jr. cam to Virginia at John Sr. suggesting in order to better their fortunes. Their descendants are now scattered throughtout the South and West: many of them are prominent in all walks of social and business life. Thomas Newman, Born in England about 1620, emigrated to Virginia on the ship called "Plaine Joan" in 1635. age 15 years; probably settled with his brother, John in James City county, Virginia, and moved with him approximately 1652 to the Northern Neck. His names, however does not appear upon any records until 1677, when he made a deed to his son Thomas, conveying one-half of his real and personal property to the latter, who was about to be married. This deed of record at Rappahonnock, Virginia is attested by Philip Pendleton. The immigrant Thomas probably married a daughter of Henry Burdett, Sr. whose will, proven in executor of, and a devisee under the will. He died intestate, about the beginning of the year 1700, and his Naylor, John McMelion (McMillian?) and Frances, Wife of John Wilson, may have been among these. He certainly had but one son Thomas, born probably before 1965, and after the removal of his Father to what is now Richmond county. (take from ? Family Tree)
