Helen, Do you have any proof that Naomi's maiden name was Mitchell? I am descended from John Newton and Naomi through their son Larkin Newton (b: 17 March 1794 in South Carolina and d: 21 May 1858 near Midlothian, Ellis Co., Texas). Those of us who have been researching this branch have not found any proof her maiden name was Mitchell. That could imply that she likely was a sister of Mary Mitchell, John Newton's first wife. And while that certainly happened in many instances back then, and now, too, there is no proof that Naomi's maiden name was Mitchell. As far as I know, her maiden surname is not known. What is your descendant line from John Newton and Naomi?

Need more info to figure out which John Newton you are referring to here. Where was he born? Who did he marry? List of his known children... their dates and places? When and where did this John die?

Thanks to those who responded -- the majority have been in agreement. Peggy

I have found the advanced search to be erratic enough to have sent feedback (via the link) asking if it was "actually working"! Prior to November I was a non-subscriber & used it infrequently, but it seemed to work better in the past to me. I subscribed around the middle of November so I don't have any real 'benchmark', but lately I'm getting reasonable (not great though) results by very carefully selecting or NOT selecting 'exact' in the appropriate fields. It does seem, however, that selecting TOO many field items makes the results more erratic/inaccurate. Minor comfort knowing that it's not just me that has issues with it!

Please change me to mime by unchecking the plain box by my address on the tool page. Go to the address on your subscriber list and make certain the box for DIGEST mode is checked off--because these instructions only pertain to your digest subscribers (and only if the person asks to be switched to MIME format). Once you note that the DIGEST box is checked you will find a box next to the digest box on the line with that subscriber's address that says PLAIN. If they want to receive digests in MIME format just remove the check mark from that box that says plain while leaving the box that says DIGEST marked. Then, finally, click the submit button at the bottom of the page to complete the change. --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo! Music Unlimited.

Yes, Peggy, Ever since they changed things a couple months or so ago it has been really bad. They even 'lost' my shoebox and I could only access the first page. I complained and they said there was nothing wrong. But after a couple emails to them where I threatened to close my account, the problem just miraculously 'disappeared'. Of course, all the time they kept insisting that it wasn't them. Also, at least one of their other data bases is messed up. I frequently access a book called, "Our Pioneer Ancestors". It has information about my 'Dunn and Brewster' surnames. And when I pull the book up it will only give me the first pages of the chapters I need. I have complained several times but it still isn't fixed. I'm pretty frustrated with Ancestry.com right now. I have thought about dropping them, but they have such a monopoly that all roads lead back to Ancestry.com When I google for a surname and 'find' sites, they almost all lead back to ancestry.com. It sucks. But I have found some good information there. I especially like that you get to actually see copies of the real census pages. That is worth the $$. But it is still very frustrating when it takes hours to find something that would have taken you a few minutes before they 'improved' their site!. The flip side is that when I used to have to go to the Family History Centers to see a census, I had to order it and pay for it and that took about 3 weeks or more to get it in. Then, when I went to access it, most of the time, someone else was using it! So, I guess in the long run, it is way better with ancestry.com. It just frustrates me that I am paying for features that don't work correctly.

Have others noticed and/or had difficulty with the changes in the "search and result" that Ancestry.com has now? The parameters you specify for names, dates, and counties/states seem to be ignored and the numerous results given may or may not be for the name, date, or area requested. At Ancestry's suggestion, we have used the different methods for searches - "Exact", "5, 4, and so on, star" and "all matches". The results ranged from so many it was impossible to sift through them all to "no matches found" -- this for a search of the 1900 census in Texas for a name we had found many times before. I hope I have expressed the problem clearly enough that it is understandable. I apologize to those receiving this on more than one mailing list. If others are unhappy with the present system, perhaps enough complaints will convince Ancestry.com that their new search program is no improvement. Thanks, Peggy Horton

Hi Folks, I have a few more test results to report: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gbonner/newtondna/ When tested at 12 markers the Y-chromosomes of those claiming descent from the Duplin County batch of NEWTONs was divergent, indicating that they may not all be from one genetic family. But the divergence was small enough that it could have been due to sampling error. Therefore a couple of participants were generous enough to upgrade their testing to more (25) markers. Building upon an existing 25-marker sample from one who claims descent from Isaac Newton (b. 1735), we gathered 25-marker results for two men who claim descent from George Newton (b. 1742). For all markers numbered 13-25, the three samples match exactly. It now looks like all the samples do come from one genetic family, after all. In fact, one of our "George" samples (63438) and our "Isaac" sample (46029) match at 24 of the 25 markers. I think it can be said that the DNA type of George Newton himself (as opposed to just that of his purely paternal descendants) is now essentially known. The two samples for George at 25 markers match at 24 of them (though a different overlap of 24 matching markers compared to the Isaac descendant). There is only one marker that still seems ambiguous, with 2 samples having a value of 10, and 2 samples having a value of 11. The other mutation in sample 36426 seems particular to that line and is likely recent. The DNA type of Isaac is probably the same as George, but I don't like making such statements generally when the sample size is only one. So it would appear that we now have our 3rd litmus test for NEWTON descent. The first was the "J" type DNA representing Richard Newton of Sudbury/Marlboro, and the second was the "D/L" type of John Newton of Cumberland/Buckingham. The Duplin County folks should all have DNA very close to "M/O2/W". I suggest people interested in this genealogy should recruit European samples in an attempt to match, and/or samples with very early American roots.

This second web-based collection of selected historical materials from Harvard's libraries, archives, and museums documents voluntary immigration to the US from the signing of the Constitution to the onset of the Great Depression. The collection is available to Internet users everywhere. "Immigration to the United States, 1789-1930," includes approximately 1,800 books and pamphlets, 6,000 photographs, 200 maps, and 13,000 pages from manuscript and archival collections. By incorporating diaries, biographies, and other writings capturing diverse experiences, the collected material provides a window into the lives of ordinary immigrants. In addition to thousands of items that are now accessible to any Internet user, the collection includes contextual information on voluntary immigration and quantitative data. "Immigration to the United States, 1789-1930," is made possible with the generous support of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The collection is part of a burgeoning international movement to provide educational materials on the Internet that the Hewlett Foundation has helped to pioneer and towards which the Foundation has disbursed more than $60 million in grants to advance the promise of open educational resources -- or OER, as it is known to educators.

Bunny Newton owned Newton Jewelry in Joplin, Jasper, MO. Big flashing sign "NEWTONS" on main street. When I worked at Russell Wright's Jewelry in Miami, Ottawa, OK he would come over to have coffee with Russ. I asked him "are we cousins"? as I knew our Step Grandmother Amanda Louise Pate Newton and her daughter Flora lived in Webb City and others in Tulsa. He always said he "was not of the Newtons that lived in this area" and he knew his family tree. Amanda Pate Newton was 2nd wife of William Gilbert Newton of Monroe Co. TN, Hamilton Co. TN, Dallas Co. MO., Miami, OK and Litchfield, KS (Old derelict mining town near Pittsburg, KS. ...His first wife was.. America Bean (1845-1871) dtr of Robert & Margaret, sister of John (1858) of Dallas, Co.
