Elijah McNew and Joanna Bowman genealogy

Elijah McNew and Joanna Bowman
research

(Last updated 21 Dec 2024)

Father	Elijah McNew was born between 1771 and 1780 possibly in Tennessee (per sons) but maybe not. Elijah's father may have been Shadrach McNew but this is unproven. He died after 1830 either in Tennessee or Alabama. Elijah McNew and Joann Bowman were married on 19 March 1801 in Greene County, Tennessee. The circumstantial evidence supports they are probably the parents of the 4 children below and possibly more. Greene County, Tennessee is only two counties away from Sevier County. This Elijah McNew would NOT the Elisha McNew on the 1820 census in Virginia.	Census Records: 1801 TN, Greene County (married) 1805 TN, Greene County, tax roll 1815 TN, Greene County, tax roll 1816 TN, Greene County, tax roll 1830 TN, Sevier County, p. 94, line 22 1840 AL (probably both deceased)
Mother	Joanna Bowman was born between 1781 and 1790 possibly in Tennessee. Joanna died after 1830 either in Tennessee or Alabama. While it is unproven that her father was Sperling Bowman it is certain she is a descendant of John Bowman of Washington County, Maryland who died there in 1795 and whose children were John Bowman, Charity Young, Charles Bowman, Aaron Bowman, Sperling Bowman, and Daniel Bowman. The Bowman family were early pioneers of Greene County, Tennessee. Ancestry DNA matches indicate that descendants of daughter Sarah McNew Deaton have strong DNA matches with descendants of William McNew. John Bowman testified that he was a 3rd or 4th cousin to Joanna McNew (daughter of Elijah McNew Jr) so that verifies this group comes from Elijah McNew and Joanna Bowman. Did Joanna remarry to John Rawlings? On the 1850 Federal Census (AL, Cherokee County) there was a John Rawlings (age 73 born TN) and Joannah Rawlings (age 66 born MD) next to the McNews. Joanna's Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup is H1cj.
Assumed Son	● Elijah McNew Jr. was born 1811+, 1805, 1810, 1812 or 1820 in Tennessee. He married Sarah Jane ??? Elijah died after 1880 in Cherokee County, Alabama. Aaron McNew was born about 1832.

She married Charles F Sutterlin. Joanna died 1897. Sarah McNew was born 1843 in Alabama. Mary A. "Polly" McNew was born 1848 in Alabama. Mary E. McNew was born 1848 in Alabama. Joanna McNew testified for the Southern Claims Commission for her husband Charles F Sutterlin. Joanna said she had two brothers Aaron and William McNew and two cousins John and Francis McNew in the Union army. John Bowman testified that he was a 3rd of 4th cousin to Joanna.	1830 TN, Sevier County, p. 102 (102) (aged 15-19) 1840 AL, Cherokee co., p. 21 (131) (aged 20-29) 1850 AL, Cherokee co., p. 20, #262 1860 AL, Cherokee co., p. 77 (163) 1870 AL, Cherokee co., p. 1 (241) 1880 AL, Cherokee co., p.

Churchwell McNew

(279) 1850 Illinois, Pope County, p. (278)
The circumstantial evidence supports that Elijah Mcnew and Churchwell McNew were related. Marion County, Tennessee sits just above the state border with Alabama. On 10 March 1865 in Saline County, Illinois Sarah McNew Deaton (wife of Joseph) of Williamson County, Illinois testified in the Civil War "Mother's Pension" case for Mary McNew (widow of Churchwell) the mother of Thomas B McNew .
