Do not have info. on James Newton [email protected]

From: Greg Newton <[email protected]> > 4. James Buckhannon Newton b. 3-4-1858 Nelson Co., KY d. 1-25-1927 > (buried St. Ann's Catholic Cemetery, Howardstown, Nelson Co., KY). He > married Laura A. Whelan b. 11-22-1855 d. 10-1-1887 (buried same) > daughter of Richard P. and Eliza E. Whelan. Thanks so much for the great information! I hear that James B. Newton remarried after Laura's death and had quite a few more children. There may be others out there who connect. I feel quite sure that James B. Newton's middle name is an phonetic spelling of Buchanan. James Buchanan was President of the U.S. from 1857-1861. His nickname was "Old Buck." That was also the nickname James Buckhannon Newton went by.

I left out a couple of critical words in the second sentence of the last posting. It should read: "First, I am looking for the wife of William McGee, who is said to be Martha Newton (more follows on that).

This is William and wife in the 1830 census: William McGee, Bedford County, TN, page 87, line number 19 Data: 2100001000000-0200010000000; no slaves The inference that William's first wife (she dies by 1838 and be remarries) comes from this data: Journal of Mattie Justice McGee Moore part 1 A personal recollection and other notes by Mattie Justice McGee Moore. The journal was started in June, 1937. The latter parts were apparently written in 1955-56. The copy from which this was taken was typed by Mat's sister, Maude McGee Rider, about 1958; she inserted several notes. The page numbers are those of the typed copy. Page I "So many times I have thought that I would write down all I know or can remember about my father and mother and their fathers and mothers. I wish I knew more about them, but maybe my children and grandchildren won't know as much as I do unless I tell them. My memory goes back a good many years. I remember my grandfather McGee - "Grandpap" we called him. I never knew any name but William; he was called by almost everybody, Uncle Billy. He was tall and thin and kind of stoop shouldered, from sitting on the cobbler's bench, maybe. He was a shoemaker and mender and also a wood worker, or cabinet maker as they were called in those days. I don't know where he was born or if he had any brothers or sisters. He was married before he married my grandmother and I think his first wife's name was Martha Newton. They had five children, two girls and three boys: Martha and Tabitha, Newt, Bill and John; I have heard my father speak of them. I think Tabitha married a man named Tinnel or Tyndol, and Martha married Bill Taylor. I used to know the Taylor children Ann and Therie and Johnson. I know the girls are dead and the boy maybe. He would be a very old man now. I never knew anything about the Tyndol family. I only heard talk of Babe Tyndol - a young man then. The McGee sons I know nothing of. The last I heard of any of them was that Uncle John lived in Mississippi. His wife's name was Martina Dennison. My grandmother's name was Mary Justice Haggard. Her father was Samuel Haggard and his wife was Mahala Meadows. Grandma had several brothers but no sisters. One brother was named Dick - the youngest was Williamson. I can remember seeing him. Some of his children or grandchildren still live in Bedford County, I believe (1937)." What leads me to look first at George Newton and perhaps his siblings as candidate parents for Martha Newton is simply proximity. The Haggards were in middle Tennessee by 1820 living just north and west of Wartrace. Rev. George Newton first settled about a mile east of Wartrace and a family of McGees (Rev. John McGee) about 2 miles southeast. There is some data of questionable quality of Rev. Newton and his family in the book "Written on Many Hearts: The History of the First Presbyterian Church, Shelbyville, Tennessee, 1815 - 1865", by Robert E. Cogswell, Parthenon Press, Nashville, 1965. (I say "questionable" because, while the book is scholarly in so far as church history goes, it uses hearsay sources for the genealogical data.) "He was the son of Ebenezer Newton and Elizabeth Buchanan Newton, born in Shrewsbury Township in York County, Pennsylvania in 1765. The Newton family migrated to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in 1765." "One source ["Fox, Adrian G., County Agent, Bedford County, Tennessee, various materials published 1964"] lists the names of the following sons: John, Ebenezer, James and Alexander." Here is a list of the early (pre 1840) Newton deeds in Bedford County TN: Name Name Date Reference George Newton from Clement Cannon 1817 J 58 George Newton from Andrew Erwin 1823 R 17 Alexander Newton from Robert F. Harrison 1823 S 85, S 96 George Newton from Andrew Erwin 1823 S 297 Alex Newton Thomas Peacock 1824 T 7 George Newton from Giles Burdell 1825 X 281 Alex Newton N. E.

The Bethsalem Cemetery is on this land today. It is located just E of the intersection of the Cortner's Mill and Knob Creek Roads.] Here is some census data I have gathered that is directly related or may be related based on proximity: Rutherford, NC Census 1790 Robert Newton page 118 01 01 04 00 00 1800 Benjamin Newton page 134 12101-22101-00 1800 Ebenezer Newton page 134 00001-00001-00 1800 Ebenezer Newton page 134 20010-10100-00 1800 Robert Newton page 133 01001-10210-10 1800 William Newton page 134 12101-00101-00 1810 Benjamin Newton page 124 Not Recorded 1810 Ebenezer Newton page 124 Not Recorded 1810 Robert Newton page 123 Not Recorded 1810 William Newton page 124 Not Recorded 1820 Benjamin Newton page 364 Not Recorded 1820 Benjamin Newton Jr. page 363 Not Recorded 1820 Ebenezer Newton page 345 Not Recorded 1820 George Newton page 364 Not Recorded 1820 James Newton page 361 Not Recorded 1820 John Jr. Newton page 363 Not Recorded 1820 John Newton Sr. page 363 Not Recorded 1820 Robert Newton page 398 Not Recorded Buncombe, NC Census 1800 George Newton page 182 20010-10100-01 Lincoln, NC Census 1790 Ebenezer Newton page 115 03-00-02-00-00 Bedford TN Census 1820 stamped page 9a, handwritten page 17, line 1 John Newton 010100-00100 1 employed in agriculture, no slaves 1820 stamped page 26, handwritten page 52, line 10 William Newton 000100-00100-01-0-0 1 employed in agriculture, no slaves 1820 stamped page 29, handwritten page 58, line 8 George Newton 101211-00200 5 employed in agriculture, slaves: 00400-13011 1820 stamped page 39a, handwritten page 77, line 14 Nicholas Newton 200101-23001 2 employed in agriculture, slaves: 00001-00000 1820 stamped page 53a, handwritten page 105, line 1 Rachael Newton 000100-21010 1 employed in agriculture, no slaves 1830 page 90 line 26 William Newton 1100010000000-1001100010000 no slaves 1830 page 91 line 21 George Newton 0000000010000-0010010000000 slaves: 01000-01100 1830 page 97 line 14 N.

Hi all, Is anyone on this list researching NEWTONs of Rensselaer Co., NY? Abner NEWTON was in Van Rensselaer Manor (then Albany Co.) , resided in Albany Co in 1790. Isaac NEWTON, Rensselaer Co., 1800. Benjamin NEWTON, Ezra NEWTON (b1776, d 7 Mar 1857), Isaac NEWTON, Rensselaer Co., 1810 Abner NEWTON (m Phebe Woodard, 14 Feb 1815), Benjamin, Zebulon in Schodack, Rensselaer Co. 1820 Ezra NEWTON, Greenbush, Rensselaer Co, 1820 George NEWTON, Sandlake, Rensselaer Co. 1820 Isaac Newton, Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., 1820 (I am particularly intersted in this Isaac) Abner NEWTON, Benjamin, Schodac, Rens. Co., 1830 George NEWTON, Nassau, Rens. Co., 1830 Ezra C. NEWTON, Isaac (m23 Jan 1830, Elmira Kittell @ Stephentown, they had son Duane, b 17 Apr 1852 @ Stephentown, son Isaac b 17 Nov 1848 @ Stephentown), Stephentown, 1830 Sound familiar to anyone?

Linda Higgins, This is what I have found from a number of differnt sources. George Matthew Newton b. ca1827 KY (according to 1860 Poplar Neck, Nelson Co., KY census) married Mary Jane Norris b. ca1820 KY (same). He may have married 2nd, Nancy Nally 11-28-1864. children: 1. Louisa Teresa Newton b. 1-22-1853 Nelson Co., KY 2. unnamed male Newton b. 11-1854 Nelson Co., KY (probably died before 1860 census) 3. W. R. Newton (male) b. 1-26-1856 Nelson Co., KY 4. James Buckhannon Newton b. 3-4-1858 Nelson Co., KY d. 1-25-1927 (buried St. Ann's Catholic Cemetery, Howardstown, Nelson Co., KY). He married Laura A. Whelan b. 11-22-1855 d. 10-1-1887 (buried same) daughter of Richard P. and Eliza E. Whelan. As this family was buried in the Catholic cemetery, I would assume that they were members of the Newton family that came from Maryland who arrived in Nelson County after 1800. (There was a John Newton on the Nelson Co., KY tax records as early as 1800.) But I have found no proof of George Matthew Newton's parents. Good luck hunting!

On the George Newton line, I have 5 children, 7 generations which total 6 pages on an Outline Desc Chart. I would be interested in sharing data with you. Of George Newton's children, which line are you from? Luckily, some of this line settled in Jacksonville, TX, not too far from where I now live and I have been able to get info, pictures, graveyard data, etc on them. Please let me hear from you.

Doug Newton, I have several James Newtons in my immediate line. Do you know if any came from Kentucky originally ? I have a James Newton born to Thomas and Agnes Craig, Newton in most likely Clark or Estill County, Ky. He was born about 1804. I have nothing else on him. I have a James Hudson Newton born in Aug. of 1855 to Allen B. Newton and Rachel Issacs Newton. I have him as married to Sarah Rogers though. I have a James born to Decatur Newton and his second wife Nancy W. Ashcraft, Newton. He was born in March of 1879. James seems to be a family name carried through the generations from the late 1600's to present generations ! Some of the other names in my line are Decatur, Charles, Fleming, Thomas, Mary Jane, Edna, Rachel, Hannah, Nettie, Sarah, George, William, and Elizabeth. If any of these sound familiar to you let me know. I know we had Newton ancestors go to Indianna and Ill. but would have to do some digging to find them. I have a large data base of info back with lots of detail and documentation to 1724. I have some little tid bits a little farther back than that. Will be happy to share all I have. Sincerly, Patricia Newton, Brown in Lakeland, Fl.

I am interested in exchanging data with anyone working on the family of Reverend George Newton, born about 1765 in York County, PA; in Mecklenburg, NC by 1767; established Presbyterian congregations in Buncombe, NC after 1798; and moved to Bedford County, TN about 1814 where he established the first school in the County (Mount Reserve Academy) and was the minister of the First Presbyterian Church of Shelbyville, TN. He died in Bedford County in 1840.

According to family my g-grandfather was known only as Buck Newton. His son's KY death certificate lists him as J.B. Newton. The LDS has a record of a James Buckhannon (misspelling of the president's name?) Newton, born in Nelson Co. March 4, 1858 to G.M. Newton and Jane Norris. Does anyone have any information on G.M. Newton and Jane Norris? -Linda
