Sorry, but the Thomas E. Newton I am speaking of worked as a postal clerk. He wrote a will at age 27 leaving the majority of his earthly goods to a young woman I can only assume was his 'intended.' He did name all his brothers and sisters (plus married names) in that will. I actually had a copy of that will in my possession but can- not find it now. If there is someone who visits the historical society or the genealogical society and can get me another copy, I would be greatly appreciative.
