This book was provided by Sue Simonich who is a descendant of James Newberry.  She puts forth the theory that the Newberry’s were of  Native American origin.  Other Newberry researchers and descendants disagree as noted in the comments following this entry.  I am grateful for the extensive research and comments which have been provided about James Newberry and his family which are found in comments below.
