The children of Humphrey N., or Newton H., and his wife Mary, or Polly, Forster were: William Julius, James M., Harriett Emmaline. "Hattie", and Henry Newton. Although he is listed in the birth and marriage entries of his parents' bible as Humphrey N., he was known as Newton H. during most of his adult life and was called Newton H. in his father's will. (11.4) Newton H. died in 1847, and Polly appears to have died in late 1852 or early 1853 because, in April 1853, the minor children, James M., Harriett E., and Henry N. were were assigned guardians, James Baxter, William D. Alexander, and William Julius Alexander, respectively. Of these offspring, I've been successful in tracing only William Julius and Henry Newton.(11.5)

Note 11.4:
Comparing the page from James's and Ann's bible and this excerpt from James's will shows that Humphrey N. and Newton H. were the same person.
Excerpt from will of James Alexander, Buncombe Co., NC, written 18 February 1844: "At the death of my wife I allow all my land to be sold and my just debts paid and I give out of said sale to my son Newton H. $600 and the balance of the land money to be equally divided between John C. and Robert S. I also give my books to my son John C. and William D. and Newton H. to be equally divided among them and all the stock on hand at my wife death I give to my son George C."
