Melba, In "Duplin County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions" it was ordered that Abraham Newton pay to John Bray the sum of 18pds out of the estate of Jacob Newton, dec'd for the maintenance of an infant child which was lawfully sworn to said Newton, dec'd, for the term of 3 years, which is now expired. Jan. 21, 1812. Abraham Newton was the oldest son of Jacob Newton. Jacob Newton's death date used to put at 1797, but recent research shows that he was dead by 1787. Is this your Daved Goff?
