Welcome Jim! I'm sure there is much interest in Newtonia and there have been quite a few posts about the engagements there. Terry Justice is very familiar with the battles and area and, as I recall, has some detailed maps of the battles. My cousin Jim (our webmaster) and I had the pleasure of visiting Newtonia some years ago and meeting the then new owners of the Ritchie House.

Be sure to search the archived messages as well. You can get to it from the menu at the top of the main page through "archives" and then "search" but here is a link that takes you straight to the search page:

I always put in a ridiculously long time frame -- like posted in the past 20 years -- and then put your search terms below.

You'll likely find several persons with ancestors who fought at Newtonia and also researchers who have studied it extensively.
