Hello!
I'm looking into the NEWCOMB side of my family, originally from Prussia (Germany), I believe, who settled in Baldwinsville, NY.
I know that my Great Grandfather was Charles E. NEWCOMB (birth Sept 17, 1889 in Baldwinsville, Onondaga, New York; death April 8, 1959 in Fort Plain, Montgomery, New York). He married Editha BOWMAN (birth 1897; death 1933), who I have much more information about (parents and grandparents). They had three children (one was my grandfather).
My family did not know much more information about Charles, but from looking at census records (and military records) I see that at one point in time another Charles, Charles Sr. (b. 1859 - d. 1923, both in Baldwinsville), was living with Charles and Editha's family. Thus I assume that Charles is actually Charles Jr. and Charles Sr. is his father. And I recently found out that Charles Sr.'s wife and Charles Jr.'s mother was Olive ROBINSON. I don't have any other information on her or her family. So that's one more generation that we didn't have before.
My question is with Charles Sr.'s parents. My family thinks that when they moved over to America, they changed the name from NUNNENKAMP/NUNENKAMP to NEWCOMB (which would make sense other Newcombs were in the area and the name is slightly similar). So I'm not sure if Charles Sr. name was different or if his father's was different.
When looking at census records there are two NEWCOMB families with Charles in them in the area and I am not sure if either is the person I'm looking for. In another record (military, I believe) I found a Charles NEWCOMB (Charles Sr., I assume), with a father Christian NONCAMP (b. 1818, d. 1878) and mother Charlotte UNKNOWN (b. 1799, d. 1879) from Prussia...this may have been the NUNNENKAMP/NUNENKAMP spelled incorrectly, but I'm not positive.
I did find a census record of a Christian and Charlotte NEWCOMB with three children, Augusta (b. 1856 in Prussia), William (b. 1857 in Baldwinsville) and Charles (b. 1859 in Baldwinsville). I now assume I have found the correct family and names.
Would anyone have anymore information this NEWCOMB/NUNNENKAMP/NUNENKAMP family from Baldwinsville?
Thank you!
