Joe,
Love your Home Page. C. Newport, one of the first justices in Claiborne County, was Cavanaugh Newport. I have checked the court records. At first he was referred to as Cavender Newport, and later as Cavanaugh (a family name). He was the son of R Rev. Richard Newport, who constituted the Davis Creek Baptist Church (which will be 200 years old on Oct. 1, 1997). I have other information on his role in Claiborne County, if you're interested. I am also a Phillips/Sexton descendant and a Goaad descendant through Anna Goad Newport. You have done some marvelous work here. Could Tommie Phillips be Thomas Phillips, married to Mary Goad? I am descended from Emanuel Phillips who was married to Leanner Sexton. Emanuel donated (or sold) the land where the present county seat of Huntsville stands. Would love to hear from you. Edna Sachs (also a Newport descendant) connected me to your site.

Dear Joe,
Thank you for the information. I will get some Newport information together to send you--perhaps I could send you what I submitted to the First Families Project of Tennessee. I am very much interested in adding Richard Newport to Tennessee histoory in whatever way I can, because he has been neglected in most accounts. I found in late December that he was in Tennessee in 1796, representing the Powell's Valley Church (at Gap Creek in Claiborne County) at the Holston Association Meeting in August of that year. He and John Frost constituted the Davis Creek Baptist Church on October 1, 1797, and his wife, Sarah, as well as his son, John and John's wife, Pharaba, were charter members. Richard Newport and William Jones installed Jesse Dodson as the minister of the Big Springs Baptist Church in 1802 in Claiborne County. This church is still standing today.
Richard Newport's son, Ezekiel Newport, is my G-G-G Grandfather and the patriarch of the Morgan/Scott County Newport clan. He married Rebecca Cecil (Sysell) in Wayne County, KY in 1805 and then came to what is now Scott County. Rebecca and her brother, Samuel, were the first of the Cecil clan to come to Scott County.
I was in correspondence for quite awhile with Ephraim Phillips, son of Mount and Oma Phillips, before he died in an auto accident. My Great Grandmother was Emeline Phillips, daughter of Emanuel and Leanner (some say Arlena) Phillips. Emeline was orphaned at a young age, and later married John Foster. My parents are Earl Foster and Wilma Newport
As I understand it, Anna Goad was the daughter of Joshua Goad. She married Richard Newport, the son of Ezekiel and Rebecca Newport. I would certainly appreciate any information on the Phillips, Sexton, or other families.
Richard Newport was married secondly to Hannah Hinds in Knox County in 1800. Cavanaugh Newport married Hannah's sister, Lucy Hinds (Louisiana aka Susannah) in 1801 in Knox County. Edna Clack Sachs lives in Rhea County, and is a descendant of Richard and Hannah Newport through their son, Asa Newport. She and I are working on a book about Rev. Newport. However, we don't know where he is buried. We have an exact date of death for him, but no one seems to know where he is buried. Any ideas? Also, I don't know where Ezekiel and Rebecca Newport are buried--I would guess in the Brimstone area of Scott or Morgan County.
I hope this helps to guide you in what to send me. If you need anything from me, please let me know. Are you related to Sen. Baker through the Phillips family? If I find anything on the Atkins family, I will let you know. Have you read the book Scott County and Some of Its Families ? It has a lot of information in it.
I noticed you mentioned the Cumberland Chronicle. Do you have access to those? I am in search of any old photos of the Newport family. Right now, I would especially like to find any Civil War era or late-1800's photos, particularly one of Jamemes J. Newport. He served in the Tennessee House from 1893-95, representing Scott, Morgan and Anderson Counties. They are missing the composite photo of the 48th General Assembly at the State Capitol in Nashville. I thought there might be a photo of him in the Cumberland Chronicle. He was probably elected in 1892. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Look forward to working with you. This is a great medium for genealogists--if you can get online.

Note:
Notes from Scott Zollars, Timothy and Esther's gggg grandson:
Timothy was a Revolutionary War veteran that served with Washington at Valley Forge. He enlisted at Morristown, NJ, also known as the 3rd Battalion 5th Company under Capt. Henry Peter Dickerson for 3 years in 1777. Timothy was discharged i
His wife was Esther Sisel. Her name has also been spelled Cecil and Sessel. John Gee, a relative of Esther, was a witness at their wedding in the vicinity of the William Hills Iron Foundry or the Furnace on Allison Creek, SC. He is believo
e gone west in 1838.
The Sexton family moved to TN about 1808. Land being surveyed on the west side of New River on May 18, 1808 is the first record of Timothy in TN. In the 1790 census he is listed with his wife, Esther, and two children (Timothy and Williar the age of 16 in the Camden District of York Co., SC. Timothy was blind in his final years.
Esther petitioned in 1838 for the remainder of her husband's pension in Morgan Co., Tn. She was 83.
Notes from Robert Bailey's book:
He enlisted in the army during the Revolutionary War in Morristown, New Jersey in 1777. In 1781, he was discharged at Baltimore, Maryland. He fought in battles at Brunswick Amboy Wertfield, Staten Island and Long Island, New York. He marrig 1782 in York District, South Carolina, Esther SISEL (b. ca 1755-d. 23 Jan 1850 in Scott County, TN). After his marriage to Esther, he fought against the Catawba Indians and Tories. Timothy and Esther SEXTON were living in York District, Soouth Carolina, in 1790 as they are listed on the 1790 Census. By 1800, they had left South Carolina and moved to Georgia, living in Wilkes County and Elbert County, Georgia. They then removed to Knox County, Tennessee. One of the first records of their appearance in Tennessee occurs in 1808. On 18 May 1808, Timothy SEXTON, Sr., surveyed land on the west side of New River opposite to the mouth of Buffalo in Campbell County, Tennessee. He also surveyed 108 acres of land on New River which included "the improvement on which he now lives" on 10 Dec 1809. Timothy and Esther continued to live in Campbell County, Tennessee until about 1819 when he removed to Brimstone Creek in Morgan County, Tennessee (now a part of Scott County, Tennessee). Timothy, Sr., died on 18 Jun 1832 in Morgan (now Scott) County, Tennessee and is probably buried in the Rob Sexton Cemetery near Round Mountain on Brimstone. Both Timothy and Esther received a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War.

Pension Statement 3075 (7)
Timothy Sexton or as Timothy Saxan
served as Sgt in 3rd N.J. Regiment
Also in reviewing these many pension abstracts I found a number of other Sextons which I will forward in another mailing however one that I found interesting was as follows
War of 1812 Pensioners Vol3 page 1564 Sexton, William m Rody served Capt Tunnells Co Tn Mil. WO-9281
I found this interesting as I know that is also the Co that Moses served in but had not been aware of William's War of 1812 service.

Surnames: Sexton
I have found out that Timothy's parents John Sexton (1734-1799) and Elizabeth Shannon (1740-1799) came from Ireland to one of the New England states in 1748 , and that two of Timothy's sons had moved to Arkansas while the rest of his family stayed in Scott County TN . I am descended from Timothy Sexton Jr. through his son Robert and Moses Sexton through his son Julien .
