This is the only documented record I have. This would have been after he came to Ky. Rachel was his sister, widow of John Dinwiddie. Someone told me there was a record of him selling his land before he came to Ky. I found him (or his father, both named Ruben) on the Tax records in Jefferson County, Ky. in 1800. He is first found on the census in Ky. in 1810 in Hardin Co., Ky. Any thing you find will be greatly appreciated. "Deed Book D Page 474 13 March 1816 Reuben NEWTON atty in fact for Rachel IRELAND and guardian for Elizabeth DINWIDDIE and William DINWIDDIE of Hardin Co. KY to Charles GREGORY of Person Co. NC for $300.--- 500 acres on Adams Creek adj. EDGERTON, James COCHRAN, Paul WALTERS, Benjamin TOWLER.

I was posting your informaiton to my Family Tree Maker and saw a record of a land transfer with the same Ira Lea as witness. Wonder if he has any connection or just someone who witnessed documents. ----- Original Message ----- From: connie mead Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 12:46 AM To: NCGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NCGen] Census records--Ruben Newton Etta, You probably have this, however, I did not know if you have all the information it contains: North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 Viewing records 1-1 of 1 Matches North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 Bride: Mary G Newton Groom: Ruben Newton Bond Date: 23 Dec 1815 County: Person Record #: 01 112 Bondsman: John G Neuton Witness: Ira Lea Bond #: 000108473 That is from Ancestry. There are other Ruben Newtons listed on census' but none from Kentucky or North Carolina, and not with the correct spouse or parents. Notice the name of the bondsman? Maybe his name is misspelled and he is a relative or maybe you have it spelled wrong. Conniesue --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
