Shared note	NEWMAN, Bird S.; C.S.A. Capt. Co. G 57th Inf. A leader of the Rebel skirmish line at Shiloh. Wounded twice in the same leg and hopped through the battle. He kept the retrieved bullet in his pocket all his life and proudly showed it as long as he lived (I saw it several times). It was his wish, that he carry the second bullet to his grave which he did. Cap' n. Newman was captured in a later battle and carried to a prison at Sandusky, Ohio. He came back home to marry Lucy Ann Montgomery, daughter of the Billy Montgomery's and do farming for many years in the Red Walnut community and in which cemetery they are buried. Among living descendents here now are Mrs. Birdie (Walt) Johnson (named for him "Birdie") and Birdie and Grady Averett. History of Scotts Hill B. S. Newman received pension # S1313 for his service in the Civil War. The 1850 census for Decatur Co. TN lists Lucy Newman, age 59 born in Virginia living in Dwelling 86 along with Thomas F. Newman, 13, Almary Newman, 12, Sarah Newman, 10, William B. Newman, 8, Nancy A. Newman, 6, John W. Newman, 3. In the 1870 census, Nancy E.
