In the 1840 census for Greene Co, TN, Honour's age is listed as 40-50, therefore she was born 1790-1800. Since she was married about 1815 and her first son was born in 1816, she was probably born closer to 1790 than 1800. I guestimated her birthdate at 1795.
Her last child was born 16 Dec 1843 (Mounce Bird Bowman), and her husband, Joseph, remarried Elizabeth Carter on 7 Apr 1846, therefore Honour died after her son's birth (or maybe during), but before her husband remarried.
She is almost certainly buried in Greene Co, TN since that is where she lived, however I can find no record of her death or burial. Her husband relocated the family to Sullivan Co, MO in 1849-1850.
Honour Newman's parents were Cornelius Newman, d. 1823 in Greene Co, TN, and her mother was Mary Margaret Byrd Newman, 1758 - aft 1813.
