Hello, Cousins, Starting next week, I am posting information on what is documented on John Newton who md first Mary Mitchell and second to Naomi ? maiden name unknown. I already have several E-Mail address, that is interested in the discussion of John Newton. If you are from this line, let me know, where I can add you to the group. There is to much false information floating around on our poor old John and his family. John did have children by Naomi and that was documented through DNA. We will discuss where the following children William, Isaac and Henry were born S.C., or Va. There has been new information that may shed a light on our dead end and why we can't get passed John, are shall I say document his Father, which has not been proved, several have said Henry is the Father, so we need to prove that, and state your source. My Henry Newton married a Nancy Davidson not a Glass, which is still floating out there in the Internet world. I hope we all can pull our data together and work on this wonderful family of Newton's. Let me know soon. I am going out of town tomorrow and when I get back, I hope I have your address's where I can add you to the group. I think I have every ones add on the David Page homepage. I have not heard from Bonnie Anderson and don't have a e-mail for Maggie Newton Stevens, do you have her e-mail add? Until later. Gay Nix Gay Nix warpaint1128@sbcglobal.net

I am checking on Maggie Newton Stevens who is on the line of the above Newton line. Are you on this Newton list? Does anyone know her E-Mail address? Gay Nix Gay Nix warpaint1128@sbcglobal.net

If Josephine Newton was half Dutch, was it her father's or mother's side? I have a line of old New York Dutch (surname: Tarpenning). My understanding is that many of those old surnames are not found in The Netherlands because in the early years the early Dutch colonists used patronymics until the British took over New Amsterdam and made them use surnames. I don't remember seeing the Newton surname when looking at those old names but in every generation there is a maternal line that could have connected in. Have you traced Josephine Newton back to find out who her parents were? There should be hope of finding them on the 1870 and 1880 censuses. I forget when the state of Vermont began keeping vital records but many town kept some records many years earlier. If only I had such a resource for my Mary Newton born about June 1761 in Massachusetts. She married Joel Lee in March 1782 in Southboro, MA. With all the recorded births in colonial Massachusetts, I think I have an ancestor whom alien dropped upon this earth. She and Joel moved their family to Vermont in 1793 and lived there until after Joel's death (Oct. 1822) when she followed some of her children when they moved to Rose, NY. She died there in Feb. 1855. Seems like some other Newtons also went from Massachusetts to Vermont to NY, etc. (Sorry--I haven't put in a mention of Mary for a while, so I couldn't resist doing so as an afterthought.)

Dear Newton seekers, Although Newton seems British,the elders in my family insist that my great grandmother, nee Josephine Newton b. 1870 in Vermont, was half Holland Dutch. I am wondering if the lastname was "Americanized" when they came here. For example, my husband's family was German- von Weusterfeldt changed to Westerfield. Does anyone know of a Dutch surname that became Newton? Thank you, Patricia Westerfield

Hi Silas Your NEWTONs aren't my line but using the info you provided I did a little "snooping" around Preble County, OH (via the internet) and here are my impressions, for whatever they're worth. The marriage record of William *S. *Newton and Jane Ballenger of 1873 in Preble County seems to indicate that your William W/S was likely the son of William H. NEWTON, b. ca 1818, OH & Agnes(s) APPL(E)BY, b. ca 1818, PA who were married in Preble County in 1843. William/Agness appear in the 1850-1870 census of Preble, BUT in your William S.'s first appearance in 1860 it appears that the enumerator recorded the surname as NATION vs NEWTON (both surnames were in the county in each census and maybe Wm/Agnes "assumed" NATION for awhile but more likely an error by the canvaser in my opinion). He of course wasn't born yet in 1850 but some of the other children in the household were in the 1860 NATION household as well as being in the 1870 NEWTON household as well. It is also possible that Agnes was William's 2nd wife as the 1850 household included a 21 yr old Martha Appleby, likely Agnes' sister, and a 10yr old William NEWTON who's relationship in unclear. He maybe a son from an earlier marriage that dies before Wm S.'s 1851 birth(There was an 1837 union of William NEWTON & Sarah Ann Gray but this appears to be a William O. NEWTON) or a nephew, cousin, etc. The 1870 census did indicate that BOTH of William H.'s parents were "foreign" born which eliminated the original "possibility" that sparked my interest in your line. I was attracted by the names of your NEWTON ancestors because my 4thgreat Grandfather John NEWTON of Buckingham/Cumberland County Virginia had brothers named William, Charles, Joseph, and cousins (seemingly) named Charles, James, & Robert that I'd love to find descendants of that could contribute DNA to the NEWTON DNA project. Exactly where "foreign" isn't clear as William H. is apparently dead by 1880 as Agnes and youngest son Charles and his wife Eva in Preble County. Hope this helps in some manner and Good Huntin' Darwin -- Darwin Newton Cambridge KS 67023 620-467-2541 denewton@sktc.net

Hi Folks, I have revised the Project webpages to reflect the most recent result: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gbonner/newtondna/ I think it is worth noting that unlike the early days of the project, when it seemed that every new sample was a new genetic line of NEWTON, we are clearly out of that phase, and now new samples matching existing samples is the norm. The highest letter (NEWTON DNA type) is "T". It took us 22 samples to make it to the 20th letter of the alphabet. And since that time we have had 16 samples, *ALL* of which matched existing NEWTON DNA types. The only caveats are that one sample diverged upon upgrade from 12 markers to more than 12 markers, and that there is now one "orphan" letter (namely, "A"), which had but one member who was subsequently moved to "J" after further testing and a review of the old data. So, if you have been waiting to test because you want to try to ensure that you will match someone, then (statistically speaking) you will NEVER find a better time than right now. Okay, now for the news of the result. Coincidentally, the new sample was the third type "T", our highest-lettered type. The participant claims descent from Larkin Newton, born 17 Mar 1794, died 21 May 1858. The participant claims Larkin as a son of John, and John as a son of Henry. Some have questioned whether Larkin was a son of John, or at least questioned if there was any proof of same. John Newton is said by some to have had 8 children, but few have been identified. The newest participant, part of node "T", matches DNA with a fellow "Node T-er" who claims descent from William Newton, son of John. So, this evidence lends support to the contention that Larkin Newton was a son of John. If the prior "T" member claiming descent from John has his genealogy correct, and the present claim of descent is correct, then it is a good link. However, there are other possibilities. For example, if Larkin was a nephew of John, then the new sample would likely have turned up exactly the same way...the DNA is just not precise enough to parse such fine distinctions within the same family (unless you test a LOT of markers, and even then only maybe). Yet it is what it is...a DNA match between one claiming descent from William, son of John on the one hand, a one claiming descent from Larkin, son John on the other.

Hi, I am new to the list and I believe I descend from Constantine Newton's daughter Martha Jane Newton who married James S. Baxley. In trying to keep track of all the Newton clan, I am running into some quirks that maybe someone on the list could assist. James Newton appears in the 1850 Dale County AL (Southern Division) on page 176, household 145, line 5. Enumerated with him are wife Martha A. and a daughter Elizabeth. I believe Martha A. Newton is the former Martha A. Baxley who is a daughter of John B. Baxley and Harriet Ayers. This couple, coincidentally, is enumerated two household down on same page in household 147. Martha is also enumerated in John B. Baxley's household. In between in household 146 are John Branton and Anna J. Branton who is a daughter of David H. Newton. Is James a son of David H. Newton or an elder son of Constantine? This James Newton then appears in 1860 Henry County, AL, on page 190, line 22, household 1311. Several more children are born in the 1850s that I will not list here. Directly below in household 1312 are Constantine Newton who magically went from 65 to 61 during a ten year span and William J. Newton in household 1313. For those that are familiar with this James Newton, do you show him moving (bare in mind my Alabama County formation history is very poor) from Dale to Henry between 1850 and 1860? And who is William J. Newton, a son of Nicholas and Martha Newton? These people (Nicholas, Martha, and William) were enumerated in Sumter Alabama in 1850. Thanks for your time. Gordie

Hello all, There were several Isaac Newtons in the New Hanover, Duplin, Sampson County areas of NC at this time (early 1800's and late 1700's). The Isaac Newton who was married to Jemima Chambers died in 1799. His son, Isaac Newton b.1786 who was named in his will, supposedly married Elizabeth Bland or Land. The confusion in the last name of Elizabeth comes from abtracts that were printed. The marriage bond abstract states last name of Land and the abstracts for the marriage record states Bland. They had a son named Isaac Milton Newton b.1822 who married Theresa Adeline Johnson. He is shown in records as Milton Newton and I.M. Newton and Isaac Newton. He is the Isaac Newton listed in the 1850 census for New Hanover County, NC. Now, I know the children of Isaac Milton Newton and Theresa Adeline Johnson from my grandmother, Lorena Clyde Bland. Her mother was Mary Ellen Newton who was a child of Isaac Milton Newton and Theresa Adeline Johnson. I had the fore sight to write them down in a journal when I was about 10 or 12 years old and I was questioning her about the family history. The census records support the information she gave me. Back to the early days, there is a Jacob Newton who married Lois Jones. He died in 1787. In Alderman's of America the author states he does not know the youngest childrens names. But, court records show they were Isaac, Samuel, James, and Joshua. Jacob's son Isaac was born about 1772 and he was bonded out to be a wheel wright. Jacob Newton who married Lois Jones is said to be the brother of Isaac Newton who married Jemima Chambers. There is also a Patrick Newton who lives in Duplin County, NC at this time. He fights in the Rev. War as a Major. And yet none of the Newton's in that area have ever laid claim to him as an ancestor. And yet, he was married to a Moore and had children named William Isaac, Major and Sterling and had daughters. I am going from memory now here people, so go look at the records for yourselves. So, perhaps the "M" line of Newtons from NC are descended from Patrick Newton? There is also the very early book that was wrote about the Newtons in New Hanover County that states they came from Barbados in the early to mid 1700's. This early gen is riddled with inaccuracies but some of it rings true as the author does list the publication of the Bible. They were said to have had a plantation in Barbados and left there for NC because of the slave uprisings. If you do a search for Barbados, Newton Plantation, and slaves, I think you will come up with the web site that monitors the archeological digs. The four brothers listed have just slightly different names and there is an Isaac Newton who is said to have lived on the Black River in NC from the Barbados group. In the court records of New Hanover there is an Isaac Newton who is exempted from paying taxes because he is so old and "palsied". This must have been a father of the "four brothers" as the Isaac Newton who married Jemima Newton surly could not have been fathering at that stage of game if he was so feeble. Things to think about, yes? Karen
