Table of contents: title: The story of Charley - Charles Callaway Cooper Newell, 1846 - 1923 and his life and family.; title: The story of Billy - William Kirkland Stubblefield, 1825 - 1909, who was Charley's father-in-law.; title: Both of these men lived larger than life, and their lives were the story of the old West.; title: The book is a goldmine of history and genealogy, and very well researched.; title: There is one error in the genealogy section: Billy Stubblefield's wife Eliza was a different Elizabeth Peters, not the woman who was born in England. His wife was Eliza Jane Peters Loomis Root Stubblefield, and although she is only incidentally in the book, her life would make its own Big Story. She can be found in the 1860 Federal Census of Dallas County, Texas: Eliza Jane Root, living next door to her mother and father, David Peters and Matilda Lucas Peters. Billy Stubblefield married her when her husband was killed by Indians, and they had two children. Billy was well acquainted with her parents. When they left Texas, Eliza Jane's parents went with them in the wagon train to Arkansas. This is an important issue, because after Eliza Jane died, Billy's next wife was her adult daughter from her first marriage: Josephine Loomis.; title: Note: Elizabeth Peters, from England and not the wife of Billy Stubblefield, was also widowed, and also went to Arkansas, where she can also be found on the 1870 U.S. Census of King's River, Carroll County, Arkansas, living with the husband she married after she was widowed.
