Tobias, son of Barent, lived and died in Duplin county, North Carolina. He had but three children, Abraham, Henry and Rachel. Abraham was a Revolutionary soldier. He had a large family , most of whom became prominent in the affairs of the day. Many of his descendants were extensive property holders and owned many slaves. In the Civil War they lost all their belongings . But the old Dutch spirit would not die and they are now fast coming back to their own. When their slaves were emancipated, like other slaves, they took the name of their masters. As a result, hundreds of negroes in North Carolina are named Newkirk.
