In his journal for 1849, Rachel's uncle, 6 Rev. Clark Berry Stewart, mentions buying 110 bushels of cotton seed from Benjamin Newman for 8¢ a bushel. (Benjamin dropped the charge for him from $8.80 to $8.75.) Rachel and Benjamin had a family of three children: Caroline, Samuel, and Mattie Newman. Rachel died in 1857 at age 41, a few months after the birth of little Mattie. She is buried at Bethany Presbyterian Church. The Civil War started four years after wife Rachel's death and two years after he married his second wife. Benjamin was among the first to enlist. He served throughout the war as a private in Company E, 3rd Regiment, SC Infantry (Kershaw's Brigade). His unit was sent shortly after it was formed to Charleston, SC, where it remained until after the firing on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, the action which started the war. The 3rd Regiment of Kershaw's Brigade later fought with the Army of Northern Virginia under Gen. Robert E. Lee, and it saw action from the First Battle of Manassas until its surrender at Goldsboro, NC on April 15, 1865. Benjamin Newman returned safely from the war, and later settled with his three children on a farm in the Harmony community near Fountain Inn, not far from Rachel's sister Mary Ann and her husband Isaac Henry. Benjamin's second wife, Elizabeth Henderson, outlived him by many years and later lived with his daughter Caroline and her husband, John Thomas Farrow. Elizabeth had no children of her own, but later descendants say the children in the family always remembered her affectionately as "Grannie." Many of Rachel and Benjamin's descendants still live in the Fountain Inn-Greenville area and, like Benjamin, tend to be Baptists. He and his three children are buried at Harmony Baptist Church in the same cemetery as their Presbyterian relatives.
