Judy, My family never seemed to get their act together regarding my great great grandfather, Warren B. Newton (1815-1879) In vital records and census forms his birthplace is listed as New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, New York and England. I can't find any passenger or immigrant listings that fit him. His occupation does not strand out either- laborer. Wish I had a time machine!
