Stephen Sr. died before the 1830 Census of Overton County, TN. He married Sarah Chambers about 1770 and she died after the 1830 Census of Overton County. They were Scotch-Irish and emigrated from Scotland in 1802. Information from William Crockett Robertson Genealogy indicates that this couple sailed from Finland via Scotland. Mr. Collar believes that because they were Scotch-Irish it would indicate that they were born and grew to Adulthood in the British Isles. They may have been in Finland looking into the immigration opportunities, possibly seeking freedom from religious persecution as many Scotch-Irish were in that situation. Mr. Collar again states that Stephen Jr. was born one day short of the Port of Savannah, GA. They farmed in Georgia for a year then moved to North Carolina and had a second son, Elijah. At some unknown time later they moved to Overton County, TN. Sarah was listed by herself in the 1830 and 1840 Census' of Overton County. This information from the book by Mr. Grant Collar: The Newberry Family Name came from the birthplace of one of the four children of Roger de Beaumont and Adeline de Meullant. Their second child, Henry was born in 1045 at the Castle of Neubourg in Mormandy France, about 75 miles West-Northwest of Paris. Hence, he was called Henry de Neubourg which was later anglicized to Newburgh. The father, Roger, lived about 1010-1094 and married Adeline about 1040. When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, Roger furnished sixty armed vessels for the fleet and was left in charge of the governmentn of Normandy. The first son, Robert de Beaumont accompanied William the Conqueeror to England in 1066, distinguished himself in the Battle of Hastings, and was rewarded with Ninety-one Lordships or Manors in England, mostly in Warwickshire. The second son, Henry, succeeded to his fathers estates in the Pont Audemer area of Normandy. Without, himself, having part in the invasion, he nevertheless received from William the Conqueror grants of great estates in Warwickshire, England -about 80 miles northwest of London, where he built Warwick Castle and was created the Earl of Warwick by King William II about 1090. About the same year Henry de Newburgh married Margaret de Perche. Their oldest son, Roger de Newburgh, who lived about 1090 to 12 Jun 1153, remained in England and succeeded his father as the Second Earl of Warwick. The original namesake, Henry de Neubourg, is buried beside his father in the Abbey de Preaux at Pont Audemer, which is about 20 miles west of Rouen and the same distance northwest of Neubourg. The above information is from the book Newberry Genalogy by Joseph Gardner Bartlett, published in 1914. It is the major genealogy of the Newberry Family. Bartlett traced the family from the New England branch of Thomas Newberry back to the first Newberry, Henry de Neubourg and his antecendents: Roger de Beaumont, a descendant of an early Norman Nobleman and Torf de Torville, born about 920 in Normandy, France, son of Bernard the Dane, who was son-in-law of Rollo, a Viking Chief who invaded and conquered Normandy about 900 AD. Torville is near Le Harve, as is Pont Audemer, mentioned above. ALL Newberrys are descendants of the above famly. It appears that there were two main immigrations of Newberrys from the British Isles to the United States. The first was the Thomas Newberry Family. He was born in 1594 and died in 1636. He was a puritan who emigrated for religious reasons in 1634 and from Dorsetshire, England to what is now Dorchester, Massachusetts. He was the ancestor of the majority of Newberrys in Massachussetts and other New England states - New York, Ohio and Michigan. The second immigration was apparently for economic reasons and consisted of several families who immigrated about 1700-1770 from Irleland and England.
