Joseph and Rachel Rabb Newman, an Old Three Hundred Family of Texas, and Their Descendants

Joseph Newman, born about 1787, married Rachel Rabb — daughter of William Rabb and Mary Smalley — on 12 June 1806 in Warren County, Ohio. The family moved from Ohio through Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas before settling in Texas in 1823, part of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists.

Joseph and Rachel had ten children. Joseph died on 15 February 1831 near Egypt, Wharton County, Texas; Rachel lived until 4 December 1872, in Karnes County, Texas. Their descendants went on to settle across Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, California, and elsewhere in the United States.

Compiled by Patty Newman Turner, George Newman, and Betty Newman Wauer, this is a genealogical record of the family's descent, not a narrative history.
