Mr. Newcombe came with his parents from Devon England about 1847. On coming to the Island they settled in the Wiltshire, later moved to Port Hill, settling on a farm where the remainder of life was passed. Farming operations were conducted with ability, industry and success. Honest in all his business dealings, kind and unselfish, he has left his family a heritage that the world cannot give, neither can it take away.

There are also eight grandchildren. Two sisters nearing the nonegenarian mark survive, Mrs. John Ramsay, Arlington and Mrs. Richard Gorrill, Northam.
