Only Allen Taylor, born 1803, remained on the farm along Walkers Creek, Bland County, dealing in cattle and other livestock. In that day Maryland was the nearest market and cattle had to be driven on foot that distance. Living conditions were typical of the first half century after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The pioneers of Bland County were people of great moral worth. Nothing obstructed their vision of carving out for themselves a better way of life where they could chose to settle, instead of going to places where some had made the way easier for others to begin.
Allen Taylor Newberry was married three times. First, to Elizabeth Bogle by whom he had ten children: Harman, Henry, Captain Samuel, Mary, Rev. Robert, Hester Ann, Elizabeth Caroline, John W., Dunn B., and Nancy Eunice. His second marriage was to Caroline Painter and they had no children. She died in 1882. His third wife was Nancy E. Gross. He was now over 80 years old when his son Allen Taylor Jr. was born. A year later he had another son, Harvey G. This second Newberry home site continues to be farmed by Allen Taylor Newberry Jr. where he and
his sons have established a record for purebred stock raising.

Samuel Newberry ran away from home in Donegal, Ireland, on account of a step-father he disliked. He came as a stowaway on a ship when only a small lad and never returned to his native land. After reaching America he had to work seven years to pay for his passage to someone whom he met on the boat.
After reaching manhood he became a colonial soldier, as recorded in Crozier's and various other publications, serving the American cause against the British.
This was as early as 1759. He received a grant of land and procured adjoining tracts from the Loyal Land Company, which had established territory for settlement of the pioneers west of the Allegheny Mountains. However, an earlier record shows this Samuel Newberry as being in or about Bedford County before his land was granted him in what is now Bland County. His first wife was named Rosanna athough her maiden name is not known. His second wife was Bethiah Begley and they settled on his grant where he reared his family and is buried.... { Information from "History of Bland County Virginia" by Bland County Centennial Corporation, copy provided by Grant Collar}Samuel Newbury, will probated 28 Jan., 1787, names wife Bethian and children, Elizabeth, Samuel, James, Robert, David, Joseph, and one
