The DNA project among NEWTONs has been going on for a while and there are quite a few lines with both donated samples and documentation. Your information and husband' DNA sample might already have matches. Judy jryden@charter.net Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass.... It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Any male relative along the line who still bears the surname NEWTON should work for the DNA project. Of course you will need another sample with which to match, so maybe those Spotsylvania folks will pitch in as well...or who knows how the test may turn out. Maybe you'll have a pre-made match.

Dear Gregg, Am trying to get Mike Newton to do the DNA test for us. Would you please send him the necessary Information to have the test done? You can read my letter to him addressing the reasons. There is to be a speaker on DNA testing at the Oklahoma Genealogical Society meeting this Feb. 4 I believe around 6:00 pm. Let me know if you make the connection to Mike Newton. Thanks Mary K.

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.

The identity of Richard's parents has never been determined. The record of his death in 1701 gives his age as almost 100, so his birth date would have been 1602 at the earliest. People have searched the records of of Burres St. Marys and surrounding churches for his baptism without success. The autobiography of Sir Isaac Newton mentions an uncle named Richard Newton, who would have been about the correct age to be the immigrant, but there is no evidence that this was the same person.

I am looking for descendents of my great grandmother's nephews. They were all born in Vermont, sons of Eugene (Peter) Newton and Nina Perham. Charles Newton born 1912 died 1994 in Rutland, VT Ernest Newton born 1914 died 1998 in Rutland, VT Melvin Newton born 1916 died 1999 in La Verne, CA Warren B. Newton b. 1923 died 1996 in Klamath Falls, OR If anyone on this list recognizes any of the above, I would be grateful for their help. Patricia Westerfield

Dear Newton searchers, Could you please send me details on how and where to get and submit DNA testing? My adult son is living with us now and maybe he will give a sample. My great grandfather, Warren B. Newton b.1815 New Hampshire (maybe) -d.1879 Vermont is a brick wall. Perhaps DNA clues can help. You can reply direct to my email westerfield@charter.net Thank you for your help. Patricia Westerfield

Hi Folks, The samples are stored for a long time, in case one wants to order additional tests in the future. This way, you don't have to re-swab and re-mail every time. But nothing else is done with them because that's not part of their business model.

I appreciate your privacy concerns. You pretty much control how your results are used and shared. There are two labs that are available to do the testing and links to each privacy policy are listed below: 1. Family Tree https://www.familytreedna.com/privacy.html 2. DNA Heritage http://www.dnaheritage.com/privacy.asp 3. Maybe your issues have been addressed in previous traffic on this mailing list and the answer lies in those archives that you can access at: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/search?path=NEWTON This will take you to the search engine where you need to enter *"dna"*, without the quotes in the "Body" line of the engine and perform the search to bring up the list of related messages. 4. If your questions aren't addressed in the above pages, I suggest you contact one/both of the individuals below and maybe they can address your specific concerns.

Merle I don't necessarily think that DNA is a total answer to our genealogical problems, but it offers some answers that can't be found in any other "source" . I found indicators that your Israel appeared to be born in Virginia in the late 18th century. There are many missing records of that area in that era and when you couple that with the variety of repositories that the remaining records are housed, it becomes an exceedingly challenging task to find that one notation in some deed, court record, or will, that may unlock that door you keep pounding on. IF you get a "close" match with someone already in the project with a likelihood of a common Newton ancestor in the last several generations, you may be able to concentrate your "microscopic" efforts in a few counties instead of every county of current Virginia, West Virginia, & Kentucky that were part of 18th century Virginia. Of course there is also the possibility that you will manifest a "new" genetic pattern that could be from an untested line or because of an "undocumented" event that occurred in your or another participant's lineage. That's why the project's "value" can and will be greatly enhanced as more & more of we Newton males "jump in the pool" as it were. I would encourage you to do at least a 25 marker test (more if you can tolerate the financial "pinch") as I have experienced MANY 12 marker "matches" with individuals with no apparent NEWTON ancestor and only one who wasn't a "Newton" at 25 markers. Greg Bonner, who's the administrator of the project, is much more knowledgeable than I about the specifics, ramifications and nuances of this process and can be contacted at the link at the bottom of the project page. Thanks for your PARTICIPATION!!!!! Darwin

William R. Newton is mentioned in brother Thomas' will of 1893 It seems unlikely that this mention of a William Newton is about my William who would have been a 19-yr-old in 1882.

Hi Merle My Newtons and several other lines represented in the NEWTON DNA project can be traced back/through colonial Virginia. Are you, or any other Newton surnamed brother/male cousin that descends from Israel, a participant in the project? If not, it might be a way for you to "narrow" your focus to at least a more specific locale to find more about Israel and his family. I would encourage any Newton male that's interested in his heritage to consider submitting a DNA sample for testing (painless, absent the expense) for a comparison and the possibility of identifying a "close" cousin who's "paper trail" is just as obscure as the one that you are searching. The shared light from several candles could well illuminate a wider circle of evidence that provides guidance for many searchers.

Thank you so much for this. I was looking on the KS Blue Sky site and did some "Newton" searches there, but mostly came up with snail mail addresses for sending for information. What I hate about those types of searches is that I can send my $3.50 for a search and they can write back that they found no such record. So then I send to the next county and another $3.50 to get another such answer. I sort of would like to know which county before sending my money for a copy. $3.50 doesn't sound like much to most folks, but it mounts up. Thanks.

A happy New Year Listers. 2007 was exciting for me, in that after thirty years or more I established the marriage links of my ggf born 1813/16? Against the law of the land he married two sisters one in 1836 and the younger sister in 1856. John NEWTON=Elizabeth HOWARD 1836. Elizabeth died in 1852. And, = Eleanor(Ellen) HOWARD 1856 in Streaton, Cheshire UK. He is recorded as a Flatman. His father John, a mariner. Siblings are> 1851 Robert b1837, d1907. Thomas b1839. Mary b1841. Henry b1844. Anne b 1846. Emma b1848. 1861 Census> Frederick b1858. Sarah b1860. Martha E 1861. Mary J b1863. Alfred b1864. d1905 at sea a mariner. Alfred's family went to Australia in 1914 aboard the SS RUNIC. Trust this proves of some interest, you have got to keep searching. regards Pete Newton
