BIOGRAPHY: From William Henry Perrin, ed., History of Crawford and Clark Counties, Illinois, 1883, reprinted 1978 (O.L. Baskin & Co, Historical Publishers, Chicago, IL, Reprinted by UNIGRAPHI, Inc, Evansville, IN), Part I, pg 111, "The Newlins brought in three chairs strapped on the feed-box, and the first care of Thomas was to go to Vincennes where he purchased a barrel of salt for eighteen dollars, some blacksmith tools and a cow and a calf." "Thomas Newlin was a blacksmith by trade, and set up his forge very soon after his arrival. This shop was a valuable acquisition to this community, and was the only one for miles about. Here almost everything a farmer needed of iron was made: plows made and sharpended, hand tools, and kitchen utensils." Pg 147 & 148 "John Newlin, the patriarch of the tribe, came here with his family in 1818. He was from North Carolina (this township was settled almost entirely from the "Tar-heel" State), and stopped for one year in Indiana, but not being favorably impressed with Hoosierdom, crossed the Wabash and settled in this division of Crawford County. His sons were Nathaniel, Thomas, James, "Caper" John, Jonathan, and William. The old pioneer and all his sons, except Nathaniel - "Uncle Natty" as the present generation call him - who lives now with his son-in-law, George McDowell, on the prairie south of Hutsonville, are dead. For some years before the old man's death he made his home with Thomas, who lived in what is now Robinson Township. Some of his sons settled originally in that township, but most of the family lived in this township, and are among its best citizens. James Newlin entered a section of land in a half mile of where Cyrus Newlin now lives, upon which he lived until his death in 1852."
