Hi Faye, thanks for writing. Do you know what part of Tenn your Thomas was in? It is possible that we are from the same line. There was many Thomas Newtons. Our line lived in Cherokee County about 20 minutes from the Tenn line. Will try to search my records for anything that might be a lead. If you will contact [email protected] this is Bill Navey one of the Newton decendants from Benjamin Newton. He may be able to help you. Thanks Geralene & Joe Newton Woodleaf,NC
