Abraham NEWMAN
Laura Plutina EDWARDS

Partner: Abraham NEWMAN

I'm told there are court records showing Charles EDWARDS sued Laura for divorce on the grounds of adultery and that she was pregnant with John at the time. The correspondent was named as Abraham NEWMAN. He is possibly this man:

Father-in-law: Jeremiah DAVIS, b. Dec 1832, VA
Mother-in-law: Sarah Adeline "Sally / Sallie" DAVIS b. Jun 1832, VA

The above is the only Abraham NEWMAN (or variation) in the Carroll Co., VA, censuses with any potential for having been Laura's lover.
