5th Generation - Yearby Newton Orange  1835 - 1880

Y.N. Orange bought 28.5 acres for $160 in Butler County near the Bowling Green road from William Chandler on Dec. 14, 1857(24). Yearby Newton bought and sold land six times with his last sale on Jan. 20, 1886 to Y.H. Orange.

In the 1860 Kentucky Census there are 18 Oranges listed. Saffroan Orange is listed as being 64 years old and sewing is her occupation. Yearby N. Orange is listed as being 24 years old and a farmer. Amanda Payne is living with them.

My guess is Yearby Newton Orange was born between Aug 10, 1835 and Aug 19, 1835 based on census data.  Maybe he was born on August 14, 1835 which was the day he enrolled in the Cavalry 17 years later.

Yearby Newton Orange married Mary Graham on December 31, 1861 in the County Clerk's office in Butler County Ky. Mary was born in 1837 in Butler county as was her parents. They had two children William Franklin Orange born in May 1869 and Anna born about 1872.

In the 1870 Kentucky Census, Newton Orange shows up as 35 years old with Mary being 33 and born in Kentucky. Sophronia show up as 64 again and William shows up as 1 year old. Amanda Payne is shown as being 44 and born in Tn. They are living in Sugar Grove, Butler County Ky.

In the 1880 Butler County, Ky census Newton Orange (age 44 ) shows up with wife Mary (age 42) with son Franklin ( age 11) and daughter Anna ( age 8). Amanda Pain (age 62) listed as sister.

Yearby Newton Orange served in the Civil War on the Union side. He enlisted in Hartford, Ky. on Aug. 14, 1862 and was in the calvary. He was 28, 5'11'3/4' tall with a light complexion, grey eyes, dark hair and a farmer from Tn.  Yearby is expected to have a headstone put up at the George Orange Cemetery in 2007.

Yearby Newton Orange has quite a bit of history about his time serving in the Civil War.  The links on the left cover his records.
