Looking for information about James Henry Newton (born ~1810 in Georgia, died 1882-02-06 in Wilson County, Texas). I would like to find his parents. I've seen records going back to the 1850 census where he lived in Gaston, Sumter, Alabama. He had nine children with his wife Elvira Reynolds (according to what I've found thus far). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Larry Newton

Sorry, Larry, my family came from Missouri through Kentucky. William Carroll, Israel. Have you run across any of my people?

So, Merle, I got Newtons who came through Kentucky, then to Missouri and on to Kansas. Tell me more about your family. Robert Henry Newton b. abt 1818 in North Carolina is my earliest known Newton ancestor. He married Martha Carlton Roe (or Rowe) in TN. my notes on Robert: Robert moved his family to Logan County, Ky. in the winter of 1844, and to Holt County, Mo., in the winter of 1850. After farming one year in Holt County, Robert took the management of the Government Mission Farm at Highland, Kan., one year (the Indian School). He next farmed in De Kalb County, Mo., and then moved to Buchanan County and remained there until he came to Kansas in 1855.

Larry, I live in Wilson County, Texas. I found a James Newton (born ~1810 in Georgia) in the 1880 Census of Wilson County, Texas. He is shown with his wife named Mary, age 46. See the end of my message. I don't know if this is the person you're seeking or not. It would be more helpful if you gave more information such as his children's name, wife's approximate date of birth, etc. However, I think the people you want are just below. You can check out this link at Interment .net http://www.interment.net/data/us/tx/guadalupe/concrete/concrete.htm You will also find the same information in text form in the Texas GenWeb page for Guadalupe County, Texas at the link http://www.rootsweb.com/~txguadal/index.html Click on Cemeteries and then Concrete Cemetery. I hope you will find the information interesting and informative. Shirley Grammer did the reading of this cemetery. She is a member of the Wilson County Historical Society with me. If I can be of any other help, let me know. Ernest Young Floresville, TX ---------- Concrete Cemetery, Guadalupe Co., Texas --- The cemetery is located two miles north of downtown La Vernia on FM 775, Guadalupe County, Texas. The first burial was Joel Wooten Newton on January 16, 1856. James Henry Newton came to the southeastern part of Guadalupe County, Texas 1851-52 from Mississippi. Joel wooten Newton came ca. 1854. James Henry Newton (brother of Joel) became a prosperous farmer and rancher. At the time of Joel's death, James Henry Newton designated a plot of land on his ranch as a family cemetery. He officially deeded the two-acre tract on September 21, 1875 "to the good citizens of the surrounding community for the interment of the deceased". The Concrete Cemetery Association was established March 30, 1955. On August 31, 1971, Mrs. Alice Warren Scull, widow of the late Dr. Charles Elam Scull, deeded 3.44 acres to the Concrete Cemetery Association and on November 23, 1992, Dr. C.E. Scull, III (grandson of Dr. and Mrs. C.E. Scull) deeded 1.374 acres to the association bringing the total acreage to 6.814 acres.*** The following census has been submitted by Shirley Grammer P.O.
