1t must have been an easy matter to
spell correctly a thousand years ago. For
Newcomer is the Latin rendering OF the
old Saxon name spelled variousiy New
com, Newcome, Newcombe. Neukum,
Newkom, Newckum. Nucom, Nucome.
Nucomb and Nucum. In Saxon times a
combe was a vale, or a depressed place
between two hills. and although some
explanations suggest that Hugh New
comen's progenitors were newcomers,
the more generally accepted explanation
is that they lived in some new combe.
In the year 1905 there was born in Eng
land one Francis Newcombe, who wrote
his own name "Ffransis nucom." Ira
dition has it that he was of pure Saxon
heritage
When Francis was thirty years old he
came to America in the ship Planter.
