Biography

Gabriel was a Friend (Quaker)

Gabriel Newby was born in Adamstown, County Wexford, Ireland on 11 July 1666.[1] His birth to William Newby "of Nansemond" is also confirmed by his marriage document. He first appears in the records of Chuckatuck Monthly Meeting in Virginia as a witness to a 1687 marriage[2] and his sister Dorothy's first marriage in 1688.[3]

He married Mary Tomes (Toms), daughter of Francis Toms, on 1 Aug 1689 at the house of Ann Nicholson in Perquimans, Albemarle County, North Carolina.[4][5] The marriage document is interesting as it refers to Perquimans being in Albemarle County; at this time all the area north of Albemarle Sound was in Albemarle County.

He passed away 7 Mar 1736 in Perquimans, North Carolina.[6][7]

Children

Quaker record shows the Julian Calendar birth dates in Quaker notation for the first six of Gabriel's children (https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/2189/41236_302610-00086?pid=8926713).

Birth dates for those six children shown below have been converted from their original Julian Calendar form to the Gregorian Calendar equivalent.

William Newby b. 23 Mar 1689
Edward Newby b. 22 Dec 1691
Joseph Newby b. 7 Dec 1693
Francis Newby b. 13 Jan 1696
Isabel Newby b. 7 Jan 1698
Mary Newby b. 13 Jan 1700

Birth dates for these children are uncertain:

Miriam Newby b. about 2 Dec 1702
Jesse Newby b. about 30 Mar 1704
Elisabeth Newby b. about 1705
Samuel Newby b. 23 Jan 1707

See Find A Grave (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/95432301) for Samuel's birth date.

T Stanton's comment that the Quaker records mentioning Gabriel, a 6th great-grandfather of mine, seem to come from Ancestry is correct. Unfortunately, the GEDCOM import from his page in my Prichard-Love tree at Ancestry did not provide direct links to specific Ancestry.com databases. As time allows, I will try to update Gabriel's WikiTree profile with specific links to the Quaker records at Ancestry. Tonight, I have clarified the sources for Gabriel's death date and the birth dates of his children listed in the Biography section of his profile. Stay tuned . . .

In cleaning up this profile after multiple merges, it was not possible to untangle all of the citations, particularly for the Quaker MM records which mention Gabriel. Those all seem to come from Ancestry but there's no link to the actual citation. Perhaps one of the PMs could re-source and re-cite those.
