William Newton was born in 1838 in Kentucky to Stephen Newton and Mary Jane Crabtree.(1) He moved to Arkansas with his family in about 1855. He married Hannah Retta "Heneratta" Shipley about 1856 in Arkansas. She was born the 4th of January, 1841 or 1842 in Washington County, Arkansas, the seventh child of Benjamin Franklin Shipley, Sr. and Sarah "Sally" Burkett.(2)
Family oral tradition tells this story about their lives:
"William and Hannah were married when he was eighteen and she was fifteen years old. They weren't married long when someone burned down their house, so they lived under a bluff until they could build another one near Mulberry, Crawford County, Arkansas. Here Benjamin Franklin was born in 1857, Stephen A. was born in 1859, Lewis was born between 1860 and 1864, and Sarah Melviney was born in 1864.
When the Civil War began, William enlisted in the Confederate Army. He went home without leave and some soldiers went after him. He tried to run away but the soldiers shot him. They thought they had killed him, but Hannah nursed him back to health. When he was able, he joined the Union Army. Southern sympathizers harassed the family because William was fighting for the North. Lewis was killed by "bushwhackers" during the War.
William was at Kansas City, Kansas when the war ended. His father, Ben(?) Newton, was also at Kansas City. Hannah and the children joined him there. William died of cholera soon after the war ended and shortly after William's death Hannah gave birth to another child. Mary Ann/Polly Ann was born about 1869."
William died in 1868. Hannah returned to Franklin County, Arkansas with her children. She married 2) _____ Guess/Guest after 1868. She married 3) Peter Lewis March 7, 1879 in Franklin County, Arkansas. She married 4) Franklin "Frank" Faubus about 1896. He was born the 26th of January, 1831 in Tennessee and he died the 2nd of January, 1916. She died the __ of October, 1933 in Oklahoma and is buried in Middleton Chapel Cemetery, Oktaha, Muskogee County, Oklahoma.
