- ↑ Newbill and Marshall were the two youngest sons, and the two most likely to have been living with their brother William in 1820, which suggests they were both born sometime between 1795 and 1802. In the 1830 census, Newball is between 30 and 39, giving an estimated birth date between 1791 and 1800. Marshall was born in 1800, so Newball was most likely born after 1795 and before 1800. David was born about 1796, so Newball would have been born after 1796. An estimated birth date of 1798 places Newball between David and Marshall, and allows an approximate two year spacing between births.
