His birthplace, birthday, death date, and burial place are unknown. I am placing him in the Newnam Cemetery as there are numerous unmarked graves there and this would be a logical place for him to be buried. He is shown on the 1850 Owsley Co., and in 1860 as being a worker on his uncle Elihu Tincher's farm. There was a Crit Newnam who worked in the mines around 1904 and a Crit Newman who witnessed a marriage in 1904 so he was in the area and may have been buried here. Curious that there is no further record of him. I found a 1916 newspaper article about the death of Crit Newman of Traveller's Rest but that seems to have been of Henry Harrison Newman, Jr. and he is buried in the Cecil Cem., near Vincent, KY. Some have surmised that this was John William "Demp" Newman but then he would have had a brother named John (1852-1878). The name Newman and Newnam were both used but the original name was Newnham.
