From Early Colonial Settlers:

Newman's Neck
The Newman's Neck site (44NB180) is located on land patented by Robert Newman in 1651 as part of the Northern Neck's earliest English settlement at Chicacoan. Situated on the southern shores of the Potomac River in Northumberland County, Virginia between Presley and Hull's creeks, the eight earthfast buildings found at the site included a manor house, kitchen, quarter, cellared building, two barns, and two small outbuildings. These structures are associated with the Neale and Haynie families' occupation, and the occupation of enslaved and indentured individuals and families, from the 1670s to the 1740s. The location of Robert Newman's earlier house has not been discovered. Inventories and a will provide important information about who was resident at the site, their material possessions, and plantation management strategies.

Heath and her students determined that there were two distinct phases of occupation at the site based on the site's landscape and artifact dates. The first phase of occupation (ca. 1670-1725) corresponds with the construction of the house by Daniel Neale and the occupations of Ebenezer Neale and John Haynie

During the second phase of occupation when William Haynie owned Newman's Neck (ca. 1725 to1747), the original barn was dismantled and the well was abandoned. Three new structures were built, including a cellar-set building, a large barn, and a new quarter. The landscape became more complex during this period, with fences subdividing the area around the manor house in a purposefully designed landscape.
