The History of Hendricks County (Chicago: Interstate Publishing, 1885)--Lincoln Township, pages 666-667
Thomas Newham, a pioneer of Lincoln Township, was born Oct. 30, 1816, in Scott County, Ky., a son of Daniel and Annie Newham, the former a native of Maryland, and the latter of North Carolina. In the fall of 1826 his parents moved to Hendricks County from Marion County, Ind., where they had located a short time. They then settled on section 20, Lincoln Township, where they lived till their death, and where our subject yet resides. Here he was reared to manhood, receiving but little education, as his services were required on the farm. He now has a good farm of 130 acres of land under a high state of cultivation. In 1844 he was married to Miss Nancy Turner, of Boone County, and to them were born two children, both of whom are deceased. Mrs. Newham died in 1849, and he was married to Miss Nancy (Larimore) Morgan, of Marion County. Of eight children born to them only one survives--Robert F. Mr. Newham has held the office of School Director.
