Hello Cousins :) I thought I'd post this site for those of you who are as confused as I've been about extended family relationship terminalogy. I knew about great aunts and etc.. but what the heck was a Great grand-aunt etc. This site explains it. I hope this helps someone like is has me :) _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephew_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephew) Barb :) Surnames: Dunn, Brewster, Groat, Harding, West, Guinn, Newton, Williams "Share knowledge as if it is a living entity, for in fact, it is.

Looking for info on Ruben Newton's father & wife. Ruben was born abt 1795 in either Persons Co. or Caswell Co. NC. Ruben was in a KY unit during the War of 1812,then back in NC in 1815 to marry Mary G or C Newton. Was she a Newton before marriage? She outived him and collected a pension from after his death, sometime after 1846. She was living with one of her sons Isaac Newton after Ruben's death in 1846. Ruben and Mary had 6 children, all born in Hardin Co., KY.

I am almost positive that George Newton of Virginia is the father of the James Newton that married Sarah Clark. The name George Newton is on their marriage certificate as father of the groom. I've looked and looked for information on Sarah, but can only guess at her parentage. Most sources say she was born in England, but I kind of doubt that. I have two brothers, who could do the DNA test, but neither is interested in genealogy and I can't afford the fee to send them the kit. Maybe sometime. Thanks for your information. Sandy Perry

To all who are on the line of Giles Newton of Marlboro, S. C., we the descendants of John Newton who md Mary Mitchell and of Newberry Dist, S.C., would like to work with you on this Newton line. I was so thrilled to see that we had a match. Bryan Newton is the one who sent his DNA in and we thank him for that. Bryan is a descendant of William Newton who md Priscila? William was the son of John and Mary Mitchell Newton and brother to Isaac and Henry my line of Newton's who were in Newberry Co, S.C. Clues to work with: John was born ca 1750's, place unknown. John had brother living in virginia in 1795, the place maybe in Caroline Co, Va. John went to Va and left his son Isaac there in Va in the care of his brother who is unknown. Isaac is found in Caroline Co, Va where he gets md to Sarah Spicer and is on the 1800, 1810 census there. in Caroline County, By 1814 he returns to South Carolina and buys land from his brother Henry Newton. A tax list for Caroline County, Va shows the following Newton's for 1789 personal tax: Edmund, James, Jesse and two Mary's. 1799 Land Caroline County: Jesse, Berryman and Samuel Newton. Have noticed early data for a Peter and a Benjamin from Caroline County, before Rev. War period. From: Emma Reeves a descendant of Giles Newton of Marlboro Dist, S.C., to the Newton News Letter Aug 1979 states she found in Vol 36 Yorkshire Record Society Publications, '' Parish Registry Of St. Martin, Coney st, York, Yorkshire'' 1. Christian Newton born 19th Sept 1637 died 1638 2. Edmund Newton son of Giles bapt 29 June 1642 3. Henry Newton bapt 16th May 1644 4. Grace Newton bapt 31 May 1647 5. Giles Newton a shoe maker buried 29th July 1648. Those listed in newsletter as being on the line of Giles Newton is the following: 1979 Mrs. J.F. Reeves 1620 Redbud, Nachogdoches, Texas Mrs. L.L. Stine 2408 Stine rd Ganties, Miss 39553 Mrs. Vernon Wederquist 3673 Rhode Island Ave Ft. Myers Fl 33901 Newton Reunion descendants of Giles Newton has Reunions. Dr. Roy Newton, Nell Newton Patterson and new President as of 1979 is Melvin L. Newton 1006 Cheraw st Bennettsville, S.C. One of the reunions was held at Boykin United Meth church at Gibson, N.C. Need comments on the above information. I know these address's are old, but may help find some of them. Lets work together on the new information found. Gay Nix Gay Nix warpaint1128@sbcglobal.net

Hi Sandy, Does the marriage certificate say "father of the groom" explicitly, or is the name considered implicitly to be that of the father? As far as the DNA test goes, I'd be willing to bet that if you could convince your kin to be tested, someone else could be convinced to help defray your cost of the test. That's not a promise, just a hunch. Best, Gregg --- JPerry927@aol.com wrote: > I am almost positive that George Newton of Virginia > is the father of the > James Newton that married Sarah Clark.

I have resently got my DNA results back and it matches the Giles Newton Line. Can any descendents of Giles contact me to see where we connect? Bryan Newton

I do not find any familiar names on your DNA page, but feel we must connect somewhere. My Newton line descends from my great grandmother Mary Elizabeth Newton born in Tn., daughter of William Clark Newton and Sarah Hatten Acree. Do you know how they may connect? Thank you in advance for any information you may be able to provide. Sandy

Hi Sandy, I have just looked over your WorldConnect database, and from what you have there, I can only say that I don't think we have your line of NEWTON represented in the DNA Project. We had a couple of folks claim descent from the same patriarch, but their DNA didn't match...so that is on hold until we get another sample. It seems to me reasonable to suggest William Clark Newton was descended from James Newton and Sarah (Clark) Newton. I think it would be good to get one sample from the line of James (born 1766) and one sample from the line of his brother John (born 1793). Probably even better would be one from James W., and one from his brother George (i.e., one generation closer to present than the prior suggestion). There should be plenty of male NEWTONs from this line. I would really like to get a sample from this line, and also from the Essex County line, if anyone can show proof of such descent.

Hi Folks, Another match that might be enlightening...we have another "T" type NEWTON DNA sample. The two claimed patriarchs of the respective matches are: NEWTON, Giles Born: Abt. 1735, Virginia Died: Abt. 1804, Marlborough District, South Carolina and NEWTON, John Born: Abt. 1750, of Lunenburg County, Virginia Married: Mary Mitchell Died: 11 NOV 1799, South Carolina Project website to be updated probably by the time you read this.

I recently acquired the Civil War pension records of Daniel H. Newton, who I discovered is probably not related to my Newton line. Daniel was living in the southern part of Wisconsin when he died, having moved there from N.J. sometime after 1855. His second wife's name was Esther, his first wife Ann died in 1848. Daniel's two sons died in the Civil War, and his pension application stated he had no living children as of 1898. Anybody interested in this file?

Hi Bill, It has taken me awhile to get back to you about my Canadian Newtons - In 1871 Census I have a Samuel Newton who I believe is the father of my John Newton - He had two wives - the first Margaret Brown and the second Anne Newcombe. He had 6 children. They were in the Mono, Cardwell district at this time. I have a newpaper obit for John Newton (1835 - 1929) that states he lived all of his life in Ontario. The census and the obit indicate that these Newton's considered themselves Irish - I'm not sure if they originally came from England or Scotland and then Ireland - but then I haven't figured out how to trace them to Ireland yet either! I think from what I have that we have two different John Newtons. In 1881 my John Newton would have been about 46 years. Thanks for writing though! I'm posting this to everyone in the hopes of someone finding a possible link.

Hi Folks, Is there anyone on this list who descends from George Newton and Frances (Mason) Newton? George Newton was born circa 1640s, and died about 1695, Norfolk County, Virginia. I am trying to find a descendant along the all-male line of NEWTON to represent this line in the DNA Project. I appreciate any leads, etc. Cheers, Gregg Bonner __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I'd like to throw another John Newton into the pot. John William Bumpass Newton was born in 1839 in possibly Spotsylvania Co., Va. He married Barbara Boxley in Louisa Co., Va. His father was John William Newton who married a Melvinia Bumpass. The Bumpass family lived in Louisa Co., Va. John W. Bumpass Newton named one of his children Walter Willoughby Newton. I can go no further with this line. Amyone have a connection? Pat

THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTIONS REGARDING AMOS. AS I WROTE LATER, THE DR. A.W. NEWTON IN EDGAR CO. ILL WAS FROM WESTMORELAND, VA, AND I HAVE A NOTATION THAT THE W. MIGHT STAND FOR WLLOUGHBY. SOMEHOW I NEGLECTED TO EXPLAIN WHERE I GOT THAT OR WHY. IF HE IS CONNECTED SOMEWAY TO THAT LINE, HE DID GO TO KY AND ILLINOIS, AND PROBABLY MY INDIANA NEWTONS WERE CONNECTED. THIS IS WHAT I CAN DOCUMENT: AMOS NEWTON MD JANE ARTHUR 1823/24 WHITELEY CO. KY CHILDREN: (KY, INDIANA, ILLINOIS, IOWA CONNECTIONS.) NANCY 1825 MD BENJ. MASSINALE,, DIED FULTON CO. ILL MARTHA 1830 MD JOHN MITCHENOR 1847 INDIANA ELIZ ? MD JOHN BANKS, JACKSON CO. INDIANA ELISHA 1831 " (1) AMANDA WESTFALL DIED ALBIA, IOWA 2) ? ELIJAH TWINS AMOS 1833 " SARAH SHIPLEY IN INDIANA SUSANNAH 1835 " WM. FRANKLIN GOOD, BROWN CO. INDIANA JOHN 1836 JOSEPH 1839 ROBERT 1843 I KNOW SOME WERE IN INDIANA; AMOS DIED AND JANE, HIS WIFE, MD A STUART AND THEN LATER A FLEETWOOD. IT IS AMOS, THE FATHER, MARRIED TO JANE ARTHER, THAT I AM DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIND HIS PARENTS. BUT HE IS IN SOUTHERN KY WHEN HE MD, BUT POSSIBLY HE IS FROM THE VA NEWTONS. I WILL TO CHECK ON THAT HELTON CONNECTIONS. THANKS AGAIN. DOTTIE

Judy you are right. Our Isaac Newton was named after his grandfather Isaac Mitchell. My grtgrt grandfather was named also Isaac Mitchell Newton after his grt grandfather, Isaac Mitchell. Any way that is where our name came from and started.
