This blog entry from the Archives of the Sandusky Library discusses Daniel Newton and his wife, Eunice Clemons Newton, and their invitation to the Jackson Victory Ball in 1827: http://sanduskyhistory.blogspot.com/search?q=victory+ball
I think this "Victory Ball" was probably a political event to promote Jackson's run for presidency. He won in 1828 and was inaugurated in 1829. I'm sure, however, that his Ohio supporters were depending on his victory as the military commander in the battle of New Orleans which actually took place in 1814, but was a part of the war of 1812. I am reading a book, American Lion, by Jon Meachem about Andrew Jackson's White House Years. It is very interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about Andrew Jackson. Thanks for the web site reference. Linda J. HIggins, married to a man whose mother's mother was a Newton. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorene Paul" <dorene.paul@sandusky.lib.oh.us> To: <NEWTON@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 1:01 PM Subject: [NEWTON] OH/Erie/Newton > > > > This blog entry from the Archives of the Sandusky Library discusses Daniel > Newton and his wife, Eunice Clemons Newton, and their invitation to > > the Jackson Victory Ball in 1827: > > http://sanduskyhistory.blogspot.com/search?q=victory+ball > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > NEWTON-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message >

Seeking information on ancestors of RICHARD NEWTON who was born 18 jan 1590 in Suffolk Co, England and was in Sudbury, MA by 1640; made freeman in 1645 and died Southboro, Worcester Co, MA 24 Aug 1701. He married Ann LOKER, d/o Henry LOKER who was from Bures, St. Mary Essex, England. Appreciate any assistance...does anyone know where he came from in England or who his parents were Please respond by email rjthoden@juno.com
Hi Our ggf William Gilbert Newton of Monroe Co. TN said in 1850 census he was from Ireland. I'm still working on his connection from Tennessee back to VA before jumping the pond.

Hi Monty (and other interested readers), I recommend FamilyTreeDNA, because most of the participants have tested through them, and therefore the searchable database would be largest if you tested with them. With another testing company, you would have to search the results longhand, rather than just using the premade search utility. I will be glad to have you aboard!

Hi Judy (& All Newton's) I found this site purely by accident whilst researching my own family tree on this side of the pond (so to speak), I'd be very interested to know if any of you know of descendants who moved to the US from England, particularly from Lincolnshire.

So now we can add this John Newton (1772-1847) to the list of NEWTON men for which we have a klind of "DNA litmus test" for. In the future, anyone with unknown heritage my use this assignment and a DNA test for themselves to see if they have descent from this family. Moreover, perhaps, is that since the DNA type is known, it makes a solid baseline by which to compare other groups which may come along. Interestingly, the DNA matches another sample in our NEWTON group who descends from William Field Newton, whose ancestry traces (according to some) back to George Newton of Norfolk, Virginia. It may be that this Virginia line gave rise to this Pennsylvania line. My opinion is that this is an unusual migration pattern, given the counties involved. But since it would have been immediately pre-revolution...well, there were a lot of things going on. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gbonner/newtondna/ Best, Gregg Bonner NEWTON Surname DNA Project Group Administrator --------------------------------- Luggage?

I strongly suspect a clerical heritage for my oldest known relative as he appears to have been classically educated in the very early 1800s. His name was Robert Henry Newton b. abt. 1818 in NC (according to census records). Does anyone know of a Newton in NC who could be Robert Henry's father?

Having no living male Newton (Newton was my mother's maiden name) to draw from, I am totally confused as to how to proceed, unless I can connect one of my mother's uncles (all deceased) to one of these lines, but I don't know how to do that.

Gregg, I have upgraded to 37 and so has the other Newton and we seem to match closely. We have no paper connection yet. Any ideas. What is type "R" ?? Ralph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregg Bonner" <greggbonner@yahoo.com> To: <newton-l@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 2:00 AM Subject: [NEWTON] DNA Project: Vol. 41 - Rev. Roger Newton, DNA "type 'R'" Hi Folks, The project now reports a 2nd sample whose donor claims explicit descent from the Reverend Roger Newton (died 07 Jun 1683, Milford, Connecticut). This DNA agrees with the prior participant who claimed a shared descent from the Reverend. Further, this 2nd sample comes from a person whose family stayed in that area until very recently (in genealogical timescales), so should be reliable. I suggest that anyone with this NEWTON type "R" DNA look very closely for probable connection with said Reverend Roger Newton, if they have not already done so, and that any similar claims for descent now have a litmus test. The most recent common ancestor for the 2 DNA providers of topic is: David Newton, great great grandson of Reverend Roger Newton; Born 25 Mar 1753, Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut, Married Mary Hazen, 16 Sep 1773, Milford, New Haven, Connecticut, Died 29 Dec 1839, Hartford, Windsor County, Vermont. Thus the DNA actually specifies the probable type of this David Newton. However, the links from David to the Reverend Roger seem to be solid and trustworthy. And, as always, we will continue to refine the connections, etc., as more samples come in.
