Sandford Newcomb 1853-1932, Antlers, OK is the brother of Charles Craig Newcomb 1855-1943, Spearmen, TX. I would like to contact descendants of Sandford. I am writing a family history for my grandchildren. Including the Sandford line, especially a picture my great great uncle would be wonderful. Any information on the Newcombs of Antlers, OK is appreciated.
Francis Newcomb to Arnold to John R Newcomb to Sanford and Charles.
I just wanted to post a quick note to let everyone know that I very much appreciate the information, corrections, and updates you send me. I have been involved in a number of high-priority projects lately that take considerably time, so I haven’t been able to update the Newcomb data as often as I would like. But rest assured that I have all the material that has been sent to me, and the updates will get done!

In 1886, Josephine Louise Newcomb founded the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College at Tulane University, in memory of her daughter who had died young. Over several years she donated money to create a permanent endowment for the college. Now, 120 years later, the current president of the university has decided to dissolve the college and use the endowment for other purposes. Heirs of the original donor have filed lawsuits to stop this action.
In addition to the loss of a renowned educational institution, there are other important issues here. There is great concern among philanthropists and nonprofit organizations that people will be less inclined to fund important causes if they cannot be assured that their money will be used as agreed.
The Future of Newcomb College, Inc. (TFoNC) is a nonprofit organization, which, among other activities, raises funds to support Howard v. Tulane.
The Association of Fundraising Professionals and many other organizations support the Donor Bill of Rights to ensure that charitable contributions are handled ethically.
my gr gr grandmother was Margaret Newcom,b ca 1795 in VA . Margaret married William Snodgrass 5 June, 1815 in Montgomery Co, Ohio. I have never been able to determine who her parents were. There were several Newcom males in Dayton, Montgomery Co Ohio as early as 1804, who are mentioned as early settlers and men who helped develope early Dayton. Does anyone know who Margaret’s parents were??? ANY info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Jo Snodgrass
My name Debbie Stiles and my father was Meredith Newcomb Stiles. For that reason I was interested in the website the Newcombs of America. I am distantly related to a Georgie Claxton Newcomb Love who apparently had a son named George Love who would be 102 if he were alive. I don’t know how to do this sort of research. George Love is probably dead - an address I have that is many decades old is George Love 35 Walnut St. Brockton. How do I find out more? stilesda@charter.net
ID: 1156137. (R.K. West Master List). Ira Marvin Stansbury. He was my grandfather. The book Andrew Newcomb and His Descendants by Bethuel Merritt Newcomb is listed as a source for the information listed in RK. West’s Master List. I am unable to locate a copy of that book. I think I may be a cousin, but I am very new at genealogy and could use some help to determine where we fit in with the Newcombs. Emily Madalene Newcomb was my great grandmother.
I don’t know if the book Descendants of Baptist Newcomb would be helpful tracing my family lineage, but if so I would purchase it.
Thank you for any help you can give to me.

I’ve done some major cleaning and updating of my main genealogy database and just uploaded it to RootsWeb (also accessible through Ancestry.com and related services). To search for your Newcomb connections CLICK HERE.
How is the BRUNDY line related to the Newcombs. My BRUNDY line is out of New Orleans, LA. Thank you for any information.
