putting it all together: The William and Hannah (Westover) Newman Clan

William and Hannah (Westover) Newman were both born in England. I do not know when they came over and if they were already married with they did come over. Most of the following events occurred in Brooklyn, Kings, New York. A few occurred on Long Island.
