About Gabriel Newby
Gabriel Newby
Please be careful with merges, adding children without proper documentation to prove; such as probated Will, etc.
Owned 640 acres of land in Perquiman County, North Carolina. Owned at least five slaves. In his will, he divided his land between his sons, but his son Samuel received three slaves, all his plantation tools, and half his carpenter's tools.
Gabriel Newby was called "Wheelwright" in a deed, 1698/9
"Court at same place March 9, 1703 ... At the same court the orphans of Thomas and Mary Hancocke were bound to Gabriel Newby. This is the first mention of any one by the name of Newby in the court proceedings of Perquimans, and from that fact they seem to have recently arrived in Carolina."
Zachariah Chancey made a charge against Gabriel Newby of Perquimans in Court August 6, 1735, his petition setting forth; that said Newby had used "wicked Boastful Malitious Scanderlous and Oprobius English words" against said Chancey thereby causing him great unrest, and that he felt himself to be "in danger of much harm of his good name and Office, praying the Court to administer Punishment either Corporal or Pecuniary" that he be hereafter deterred from like libelious words.

Gabriel was born in Nansemond County, Virginia, which today is part of the independent City of Suffolk. He appears in the Quaker records of Nansemond and then again in the Minutes of the Pasquotank Monthly Meeting which actually took place at Little River just across the county line in Perquimans. It was here that he met and married Mary Toms /Tomes, in 1689 at the Quarterly Meeting in Nansemond County, Virginia, held in the home of Ann Nicholson. Mary's parents were Francis Toms and Priscilla Nicholson Toms had been converted by Quaker missionary William Edmundson whose sister Grace was married to Gabriel's uncle John Newby. Their marriage thus united two of the oldest North Carolina Quaker families.
Gabriel and Mary moved to central Perquimans County where they owned a large tract of land on the Perquimans River west of the town of Hertford. Gabriel and his family were active members of the Piney Woods Monthly Meeting to the north in Belvidere. For this reason they are listed here although their actual burial place is not known since early Quakers either did not have gravestones at all or marked them only with initials.
Gabriel and Mary had the following children:
William (1689-1719)
Edward (1691-1721)
Joseph (1693-1766 )
Francis (1696-1743)
Isabel (1697-1758)
Mary (1699-1749)
Meriam (1702-1703)
Jesse (1704-1765)
Elizabeth (1706-1730)
Samuel (1707-1776)
