This is all I know about him. >Hoping to find relatives We're both looking for a Newton married to an Elizabeth around the same time. I have an Elizabeth b. ca 1800, widowed from a Newton (born Nathan) from England. Considering the activity of other lines, she could have been in New York in the early 1820s. She dies a widow in New Orleans in 1838. Her obituary and probate merely refer to her as Widow Elizabeth Nathan. Her brother-in-law was Louis Henry Newton, b. 1798 in London. He was in Philadelphia in 1831 from Amsterdam (probably in NY prior). He died in New Orleans in 1840. His sister, Mary Nathan, married John Bellow in Holland, New York, sometime around 1820. She also died in New Orleans in 1838. Another sister, Jeanette Aarons Nathan, married Louis Henry Gunst. She also died in New Orleans. These siblings, whether Nathan or Newton, was supposedly the children of Henry Newton and Elizabeth Aarons. Confusing? I thought so. Su Jacobsen Lafayette, CA
